The transcription (1575-1812) is taken from copies in my local library
of Phillimore & Taylor, with cross checking to the Cornwall Family
History Society index and microfiche of the original registers. The
entries have been arranged in order of date, but the original registers
are unusual. The following is an extract from Phillimore.
"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. All transcriptions after 1812 have been taken from registers at the Cornwall Record Office. 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.
