There seems to be a whole lot of PRINN, PRYNNs etc there, and there could be others elsewhere, too, as not everything is on the IGI. You can download Parloc free...it's a parish locator. I'm a bit mystified about not "opening up the individual person". How else do you find the parents? And any reliance on just the IGI and/or Ancestry, no matter how widely accepted, is prone to mistakes like this one...it is only an index. EG, all the online trees of one of my families have ancestors based on a particular marriage where people have followed the wife's name back, as in the index, but the actual Parish marriage record shows that she was a widow. Tracing back her 1st marriage, the death of her first husband, etc, gives quite a different ancestry, and one confirmed by her maiden name being used as a second name in the family for generations. But I'm just a voice in the wilderness in trying to correct it, and sometimes you can even be unpopular! Who knows, the original marriage record of William PRYNN and Joan DADDOW might even say where he was from, tho from memory it might be a bit early for that. Good luck, and, pain tho it is, never rely on someone else's research unless they have all their sources documented. Even then I try to verify it. Might be why my research has taken decades!!

It's been widely accepted by everyone that I've had contact with and on Ancestry, that William PRYNN baptised 18 Mar 1716 at Tywardreath (St. Andrew's? ) married Joan DADDOW at Tywardreath (St. Andrew's) on 3 Nov 1736. I, like many people when reading the IGI don't always open up each individual person, last night I opened up William PRYNN 1716 and he died on 4 Jul 1719 at Tywardreath. So obviously he can't be the one who married Joan DADDOW. ------------------------------- Listmom: ybowers@gmail.com or CORNISH-GEN-admin@rootsweb.com Visit the OPC (Online Parish Clerk) web page for transcription information http://www.cornwall-opc.org/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CORNISH-GEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
