Linkinhorne Parish

ST MELOR CHURCH, MARRIAGES 1725 - 1812 at present

"The first volume of Linkinhorne registers suffered from damp and is in a very dilapidated condition. It gives Baptisms, Marriages , and Burials from 1576 to 1723, the record being somewhat irregular and some years being missing towards the end. The entries in this volume are perversely entered in alphabetical order of the bridegroom's Christian name. The second volume, in excellent preservation, contains Baptisms, Marriages and Burials from 1725 to 1812. Beside the above there is a fragment of a small book, marked O, without cover, of which several leaves are missing, which gives entries from 1692 to 1725 approximately. There is also a small book of affidavits relating to burials in woollen.

The following list of marriages has been extracted by Mrs J H Glencross, who has collated it with the Bodmin transcripts. Mr Nicholl's examination of the Exeter Transcripts shows that there are Linkinhorne Transcripts for the years 1611, 1623, 1633, 1642, 1663, 1664, 1665, 1672, 1737-1740 inclusive, and for a year not stated prior to 1642."

CALENDAR. Prior to 1752 the year ended on the 25th March, so January, February and March were at the end of the year. As this list has been sorted by a modern computer all years start with January, so please note that prior to 1752, the year would end with January, February and March to the 25th.
