BAPTISMS -

HOLY TRINITY, St. AUSTELL - 1600 - 1875, partial transcriptions

LDS has transcribed these registers, and has them onlineat FamilySearch. Use "batch number" P016511, C065361, and C065351 in the "IGI' search to only obtain register transcriptions. We will re-do these registers in the future, as some names were mis-transcribed, and some are missing.

Per the archivist at CRO, St. Austell workhouse information regarding the inmates, in the form of such records as admission and discharge registers, and master's report books, have not survived. The minutes did survive, but deal with buildings and finance, and do not refer to individual pauper inmates. Mothers did sometimes give birth in the workhouse, but these births as a matter of course would be registered with the St. Austell registrar after 1837.

SOCIETY of FRIENDS -

Taken from the Fowey Circuit records.

NON-CONFORMIST -

Including Primitive Methodists, Baptists, etc.
Please note - Baptists follow the doctrine of baptism when the person is fully capable of understanding the meaning of the ceremony, so they were not infants. Further, each congregation kept records as they chose; ages of persons being baptised were not recorded in most cases.

ST. PAUL'S, CHARLESTOWN -

Parish register transcriptions, many of which carry birth dates as well as the baptismal date.

MEVAGISSEY BIBLE CHRISTIAN CIRCUIT - donated by Bill O'Reilly.

These are limited to St. Austell entries. To access the full Circuit transcriptions, please visit his website.

TREVERBYN will be provided in the future.

MARRIAGES -

HOLY TRINITY, St. Austell, 1565 through 1837.

Marriages, from 1837 through 1902, are available for lookup; please contact me directly and I'll be glad to check for you. (these records have all the data from the Church register, including father's occupation and witnesses.) They're NOT from the Registrar's office.

Society of Friends   MARRIAGES

Charlestown Marriages at ST. PAUL's

Treverbyn Marriages are available from lookup; please contact me directly and I'll be glad to check for you. The register was evidently copied, and is in a very odd shape, with entries out of date order, pages missing, etc. You should check FreeBMD at the Rootsweb website, for the Registrar's data index, for complete coverage. (Also, many of the people living in Treverbyn were non-comformist; be sure to check those records, too.)
