This seems to have passed everybody by.

I don't have any Cornish rellies so I hope those that do find it helpful.

[Nell]

They're back!

Thanks Jay

[ElizabethHerts]

As far as I can see they aren't all there. I had a quick look and a lot of the earlier registers aren't there.

[kiterunner]

Some more has been added to this but I don't know what!

[ElizabethHerts]

So far nothing of use to me - no early dates for me, just post 1837 ones.

[tenterfieldjulie]

Whereabouts Elizabeth?

[ElizabethHerts]

St Blazey, Julie.

I know you have lots of Cornish ancestors - have you found anything new?

[tenterfieldjulie]

I mostly use OPC site Elizabeth. With some of my difficulties I have emailed questions to the person transcribing that area and they have been most helpful. Sometimes supplying answers other times they can't help. There was one marriage that was missed from the OPC site that I found on the old Family Search. As yet I haven't had a chance to look at Jay's post. I like using FreeCen for the Cornish Census records, although I have trawled the OPC Census as it gives you an idea of who else was in the area. As you know, in the smaller places, half of the village was related.

Many thanks Jay - I found the Perranuthnoe marriage register 1837-1907 and found my 2x ggtgrandparents, Joseph Bryant and Anna Ford. Fortunately it was the 9th image out of 214. Her father had died shortly beforehand, but he was not noted as deceased. She was only 18, but her age was not noted, while Joseph was noted as full age. He could sign his name, which is possibly how he eventually became an underground mine workings manager.

These have been updated again, but again, I don't know what's been added.

Thanks, Kate, St Blazey is there now!

Thanks Jay. I had a look a while back but there were only limited entries. This is great.

Will the images disappear once they are indexed does anyone think?

[ElizabethHerts]

Who knows, Toni. THey were on there before, and I had a month or so of avidly looking up my ancestors, then they suddenly disappeared again. Let's hope they are back for good this time.

[tenterfieldjulie]

There was some dispute I think Elizabeth which was why they were removed.
I found two marriages today at St. Hilary. My Robert Ford had information crossed out and sojourner written in. I would love to know what was crossed out!! With Alexander Bryant it was so faded that they did really well to transcribe it. His name was written as Bryan and then where he signed his cross, his name was written as Brian .. fortunately he married a lady called Grace Rodda and that was quite distinct. Thanks again UJ very chuffed with these.

[Kit]

I've found a few things which is good. I don't know whether to do things methodically or look at what is really important first.

[Kit]

arghhhh None of the images will load. I hope they are just working on something and not taking them away.

[Janet]

Toni, did you try a different browser?

[Kit]

They are back, phew.

[Kit]

Sorry Janet didn't see your comment. No I didn't try anything else, just did something else for a while.

[kiterunner]

They've been updated again, but I don't know what's been added.
