Publisher's Synopsis
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.
