Hello Jenny and all, as well as; you are ideed lucky to be looking in Cornwall for your ancestry. I actually live in Penzance, the largest town in the West Cornwall area, which is a rough circle around 10 - 12 miles diameter. I suggest you Google West Penwith Resources once you can establish a reliable connection. This site includes all parishes in the old West Penwith area. Stevens is a very common name in and around St. Ives. Genulki Cornwall will lead you to census for the 19th century, thanks to our wonderful transcribers. Good luck, Horton in windy Penzance
