Prodded into action by Peter Rickard from down-under I returned after a gap of several years to check out the information we have on my husband's RICKARD ancestors at St Columb Minor. His 2xgreat grandfather was Richard RICKARD whose entries in the census always recorded an age consistent with birth around 1804 at St Columb Minor. We had thought that Richard's parents were Enoder RICKARD and Mary nee CHAPEL and that would have placed his baptism in 1808 - nothing impossible about baptism aged 4 we thought. But recently I have taken advantage of the PR scans on FamilySearch and it now seems most likely that Enoder's son Richard died in 1829 aged 21 and was buried at St Columb Minor. So now we have a problem because we have searched parish records at findmypast and looked through all the PR scans for St Columb Minor but can find no probable Richard. A Catharine RICKARD born in 1806 married John HOOPER at St Columb Minor in 1836 and was living next door to our Richard at Quintrel Down in 1841 so she might have been his sister but we can find no record of her baptism. Grateful for knowledge of any sources other than those at FamilySearch, findmypast and Cornwall OPC that may contain sightings of Richard or Catharine.
