If you have been unsuccessful with the General Register
Office Indexes, for dates 1538 to the current century, - you can
use the International Genealogical Index
(IGI).
These are the Indexes prepared by the Mormon Church. Baptisms
(occasionally births) and marriages compiled from parish registers
and other sources are featured on the IGI (but not burials). For
the UK the coverage is generally from the start of the registers of
a particular parish up to the mid 19th century; for other countries
the period can be later.
The Index is incomplete in that not all Cornish Parishes are
represented.
The Cornwall Family History Society and The Cornwall
Centre hold the Microfiche Index - click here for details of their opening
hours
Information from the IGI will give you a lead into Parish Registers.
If you have no luck with the IGI, contact the Cornwall Family
History Society for guidance on further contacts.
