Need baptism record in St Minver for Samuel Arthur born about 1750

[prairiegypsy]

Hi. Samuel Arthur was supposedly born in St Minver around 1750, but I haven't found a baptism record. I am looking for the BAPTISM RECORD and the PARENTS' NAMES so I can continue my ARTHUR lineage.

I've looked on Ancestry.com, FindMyPast, and FamilySearch without luck.

Samuel Arthur married Catherine Eplett in 1775 in Little Petherick, Cornwall. I have that record. They had about nine children all born in St Minver. I have their names.

Public records showing a baptism record for my Samuel Arthur on Ancestry.com are INCORRECT. They are using a Samuel Arthur from St Keverne, Cornwall, which is a different person.

THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE. I will be forever grateful! -- Jane

The only other one I can find was baptised at St Eval on 18th February 1749, son of Francis and Wilmot.

Francis Arthur married Wilmott Mean in St Eval on 6th February 1749.

Also Elizabeth baptised on 25 February 1753, buried on 25 July 1754, and Eliz. on 25 February 1753.

Marriage
Samuel ARTHUR to Catherine EPLETT
24 Jul 1775 Little Petherick : St Petroc : Phillimore's Transcript

This baptism place is less than one mile from the above for Samuel Arthur but about 4 miles as the crow flies from Minver.

William Arthur, mother Ann
Baptism 12 Jan 1752  St Issey : Parish Register

William ARTHUR   to Anne LOBB
Marriage   27 Dec 1748   Cornwall   St Issey : St Issey : Parish Register

Sadly Samuel baptised 1752 may have died but no record. A second Samuel baptised below.

Samuel ARTHUR   
Baptism   05 Mar 1757   Cornwall   St Issey : St Parish Register

He would by DCB be 18 when married unlikely but not impossible, so only one left, as posted DCB only 3 miles from the place of marriage and 7 miles from Minver.

This is a great site for Cornish research Jane.
All free! and having used it, I would say pretty comprehensive.

https://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/

Not just births, marriages and deaths, but Heath Tax, muster rolls, wills index etc (go to 'extra searches' to see a whole range of interesting databases)
