Paul,  I am unsure with your problem, but the census records are great for locaing families from 1841 up to 1911.  Free BMD is good for 1841 to 1891 but you need to go you liberary to see 1901 & 1911 free via find my Past

Paul, not cetain exactly when the registration of Births, marriage and Death started but think it was around 1840, although about 15 years ago at the Family Records Centre I checked for the oldest  Certificate which was an 1832. I believe there was a period before it became law to Register.

The Marriage of George Gay & Frances Curgenven: 
Although Francis (dau of Peter & Jane) was bpt in 1739 that does not mean her date of birth, many people have been baptised just before marriage to enable a church wedding. I have seen in my wife's family trees persons who were baptised at 12 & 14 years old and mostly at the same time as younger brothers or sisters (a job lot) but normally the vicar has identified on the edge of the page a note to confirm the age at baptism.
I suggest you check the burial of Frances to see if an age is recorded.

Edward,
My wife`s FT starts with Walteri Philpe (no bpt) but marriage 20th Oct 1566 this goes down to Edward Philp bpt about 1736 but to to his 5th child John Philp bpt 15th Aug 1775, then to Peter Blamey Philp bpt 1st April 1804.
At present I am updating my wifes other FT the Lean/ Leane and so I can not recall the line down off the top of my head as the Philp FT has been widened to include as many branches as possible. This has at present 364 persons on the FT.
If this is of interest to you we will need to comunicate somehow ?

Okay I have just read the posts, and I have been intrigued by the note that this name was made up by the Bishop of Exeter (?) but also I had seen that the name was connected with the ship the "Bounty".

My interest came from researching the Philp/ Philpe Family of my wife`s Mother and as someone has already advised, Peter Curgenven bpt 1712 married Jane Langdon bpt 1714 on May 1st 1766 in Veryan & had 8 children including Frances bpt 1739 who married Edward Philp.
I note the web site: cornwall-opc has 18 Curgenven`s in the churchyard but there does not seem to be any record in the 1500`s, this web site is Fantastic & is leading the way in the Uk (from my experience) opc stands for online parish clerks.
If anyone is interested last year I had a Philp headstone relocated back to the Veryan cemetery and refitted it to its original location.

While searching the Philp family tree in Cornwall, there is an event where Edward Philp married Frances Curgenven in 1766 in Cornwall, UK, Francis was one of eight children of Peter Curgenven

However I note some details to be incorrect on the Shaw family tree.

If this e-mail reaches you (SHAW), please respond and I will provide details and advise you of a Recent FREE local County website that has a great database for searches back to 1500

Regards,
