Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Cornwall Parish Registers, Vol. 17: Marriages The present volume deals with six parishes on or near the eastern border of the county, and exhausts all the available material in that direction. There is, however, reason to believe that by the time the returns of western parishes, which are in various stages of preparation, have been issued, a fresh supply will be forthcoming from that quarter. In the preface to the last volume attention was called to the valuable work of Mr. G. Jasper Nicholls in making an index to the Exeter Transcripts. To Mr. Nicholls we are indebted for those portions of the prefatory notes of the several parishes in this volume which deal with those Transcripts.

Excerpt from Cornwall Parish Registers, 1903, Vol. 5: Marriages It is to be regretted that the earlier Marriages at Ludgvan and Sancreed were not entered in the register more fully. The omission of the bride's surname is unquestionably a serious defect. But it should be borne in mind that these imperfect entries are not nearly so worthless as they may appear at first sight. To the genealogist, when they furnish a missing Marriage, they put an end to further search, and suggest the place where the issue of the marriage may be found. This is the inference he would draw where the imperfect entry formed one in a series of such entries. In the case of an isolated entry of this sort he would be rather inclined to look to some other parish for a fuller record, on the ground that while the clerk was probably careful to enter in full those marriages solemnized in his own parish church he merely noted the marriages of these parishioners which were solemnised elsewhere.
