Originally transcribed November 1982, amended and retyped November 1988 by Robert Jago, M.A. Transferred to disc by Daphne Packer April/May 1998.

Whilst every effort has been made to produce accurate transcriptions, it is possible that errors may have occurred.

Extra Notes: please read before going to the individual pages above.

1          The original parish registers, 1689 to 1900, have been retained by the Rector of South Hill and Callington. The transcript was originally made possible by the kind co-operation of the then incumbent, Rev. Nigel Fox. Mrs S. Lightbody provided facilities for re-checking the registers in order to produce the revised transcript. Mrs. Lightbody also kindly passed on a copy of the revised transcript to me, Daphne Packer, and this was used to produce this copy on disc.

2            Remnants of an earlier South Hill register have been repaired, rebound, and deposited at the Cornwall County Records Office. This volume includes Marriages 1566-1612, 1617, and 1623-1626.  

3          All information contained in the registers has been noted, with the exception of the names of officiating ministers.  

4          Some contracted Christian names have been expanded e.g. Ed; - Edward.  

5          All surviving Bishops Transcripts (to 1812) have been checked and collated with the register entries.  The symbol * refers to information derived from the B.T’s.
