Records relating to Camborne Parish Church are held at Cornwall Record Office Telephone 01872 323127 to view the following registers or request a search to be made on your behalf.
You can view the Table of Records held at Cornwall Record Office relating to Camborne Parish Church.
Also available at the Cornwall Record Office are Bishops Transcripts of Parish Records:
- 1610–1812 (with gaps) ref. FET27 (microfiche)
- 1676–1772 (with gaps) ref. BT27.
Also held are printed copies of the Parish Registers from 1538–1837 published by the Devon and Cornwall Record Society in 1945 and Phillimare's printed marriage register from 1538–1812 (volume 19).
The Cornwall Record Office also holds a very fine series of three volumes of church warden's accounts.
- 1535–1657 ref. PD322
- 1675–1780 ref. X510
- 1800–1922 ref. P27/5/1
At the time of compilation (June 2003) the following parish registers are still held at the church:
- Baptisms 1944–date
- Marriage 1946–date
- Banns of Marriage 1953–date
- Burials 1937–date
The church still retains two graveyard registers as follows with plans:
- 1875–date (old churchyard)
- 1907–date (new churchyard)
It is not possible to tell where individuals are buried in the old churchyard before 1875, unless there is a gravestone. The oldest headstone dates from 1761. Much of the ground around the church has been used and re-used for burials since at least the 13th century.
Additional notes on the Parish Records
- The original marriage register for the years 1775–1790 is missing but the deficiency is made up for by the copies of the copies in the Bishops Transcripts.
- The pre-1953 banns registers do not survive. There was formally a series since at least 1754.
