Falmouth excluding direct line (q.v. via James Henry from St. Keverne)
Local History
Before 1877 was a diocese of Exeter rather than Truro and before local church established (1664) was part of Budock parish, which has not been checked. Even now this parish would cover the hinterland. Sir Peter Killigrew was an arch-Royalist and his influence brought the church and other developments. Before 20/8/1660 the town was called Smethwick or Penny-com-quick (?). 1662 onwards markets on Thursdays and fairs July and October. Local records include notes that collections werre taken up for refugees (e.g. Hugenots) and locals were carried away by slave raiders (names and dates given but none related).
Unrelated but interesting baptisms include 6/12/1815 Yeo, a negro, servant to ....Brusk and circa 18 years old; 7/8/1816 Sarah Thorn "a female of colour a native of St. Vincent in the West Indies".
See CFHS 27-20 for 1666/7
Note Ustick confusables (q.v.)
Record inspected by PE include:
Gay and Fox transcripts 1663-1812 - St. Charles the Martyr has originals and subsequent records have been partially searched. Bpt 1813-25 empty; 1839-61 backwards to 1857 empty; 1851-49 empty. 1861-92 had entries recorded below. Mgs 1864-69 blank, 1916-69 blank; 1916 back to 1899 entered below. 1869-85 blank. Note all these searched very quickly so some could have been missed.
It is also important to note that non-conformists were also here since 1769, so their records are important. In Penryn since 1600s according to local librarian. See George and Phillipa, John and Ellen recently. Certainly direct line loyalties were baptist. Local bulding moved from Killigrew St but would only have adult baptisms? PRO index for non-comms does not cover late 19thC onwards.
