Cardinham, Cornwall Genealogy: Difference between revisions

The parish registers of baptisms, banns, marriages, and burials are extant beginning in 1701.&nbsp; Earlier records were apparently lost and are not known to exist.&nbsp; There are a few Bishops Transcripts dating back to 1675, but coverage is not complete.&nbsp; Phillimores marriage transcripts cover 1701-1812.&nbsp; The Cornwall Family History Society has published the marriages&nbsp;1701-1812, the marriages 1813-1837, and the burials 1813-1837.&nbsp;&nbsp; All parish registers (baptisms, marriages, and burials) from 1813-1911, as well as the burials&nbsp;1701-1812 and marriages and banns 1754-1812&nbsp;have been transcribed&nbsp; and posted on the database of the Cornwall Online Parish Clerks.&nbsp; These are indexed and searchable on that website without cost.&nbsp; The Cornwall Online Parish Clerks' database does not publish records less than 100 years old to be viewed online, but the OPC does have more recent records (as late as 1960), and information for these more recent events can be obtained by contacting him directly.<br>  

The Cornwall Online Parish Clerks organization has a clerk for Cardinham who can be contacted through their website at&nbsp;[http://www.cornwall-opc.org/ http://www.cornwall-opc.org/] and information can be obtained by correspondence from the OPC.&nbsp; He has access to images of all existing parish records from 1701-1960 and transcripts of Methodist/Bible Christian records up to 1900.&nbsp; Inquiries are welcome and are answered as time permits without cost.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>  

Non-conformist records are also available at the Cornwall Record Office, and transcriptions are available on CD from commercial sources, including Cornwall Legacy.&nbsp; Both Wesleyan Methodists and Bible Christian adherents lived in the parish, but jurisdictions do not follow Anglican boundary lines.&nbsp; Most records are to be found in the Bodmin Wesleyan Circuit, the Bodmin Bible Christian Circuit, and the Liskeard Bible Christian Circuit, although baptisms were occasionally perfomed by someone farther afield, especially among the Bible Christians.&nbsp; There have been non-conformist chapels in the hamlets of Millpool and Fletchers Bridge, as well as Cardinham.&nbsp; The Methodist Chapel at Millpool holds regular services, while no services are currently being held in the chapel at Cardinham village, and the chapel building at Fletchers Bridge has passed into private hands. Some records of the Methodist congregations are in the LDS Family History Library catalogue.&nbsp;
