Hullo Catherine When I did the Gulval transcripts I found that the people buried in the church were of some note, not necesarily from the local gentry but people of importance in Penzance. The more important you were, the nearer you were to the altar! -----Original Message----- From: cornish-gen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cornish-gen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Catherine Frendo Sent: Friday, 30 July 2010 7:44 AM To: cornish-gen@rootsweb.com Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Jane Duncalf nee Knuckey (1600's) I have found the burial of my 7x Great Grandmother Jane Duncalf nee Knuckley Parish: Helston Date: 28-Aug 1696 Name: Jane DUNCALF Age: Residence: Register notes: buried in the church Transcriber Notes: ref: 2PR-p.161 Transcriber: Don Carkyk As she was buried in the church does that mean that she came from a notable family.

Hullo Catherine Sorry I pressed the wrong button before I had finished! In Gulval there are numerous people buried in the chancel. The register didn't always say what they were although one was an important dignitary in Penzance, along with his wife. The old vicar was buried under the Communion Table. I think, the more important you were, the nearer you were buried to the altar. I'm talking about the 18th century and earlier.
