Where is "this" parish?

[Steve Hayes]

I found the following record in FamilySearch:

William Sandercock
England, Cornwall Parish Registers
Name William Sandercock
Event Type Marriage
Event Date 23 Dec 1754
Event Place Cornwall, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom
Residence Place Of This Parish
Gender Male
Spouse's Name Mary Symons
Spouse's Gender Female
Page 95
Citing this Record

"England, Cornwall Parish Registers, 1538-2010," database with images,
FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2Z4-Y6MD : 30
November 2016), William Sandercock and Mary Symons, 23 Dec 1754;
citing Marriage, Cornwall, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, Cornwall
Records Office, Truro.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2Z4-Y6MD

I can't find any record of a parish called "Cornwall" in Cornwall, or
anywhere else in England for that matter, so I can only suppose that
the person who was typing the index had a bad night, and typed
Cornwall twice instead of typing the name of the parish.

Does anyone know of any way of finding the name of the parish?

View the image from the link and reset the page number (top left) to 1
and start from there. Good luck with the handwriting!

The heading above the image says "England, Cornwall Parish Registers,
1538-2010 Cornwall Withiel Baptisms, marriages, burials, 1567-1786" so I
guess it's http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/Cornwall/Withiel

Ah, thats where I got 'lost' in Lostwithiel,
when the mayor and the local garage owner were still one and the same.

Interesting. I've been to Lostwithiel many times, but had never heard of
Withiel, so had to look it up. It's quite a small place - mainly
scattered farmsteads - just to the south-west of Bodmin. It does appear
(from Google Streetview) to have a church - which is probably where the
marriage in question took place.

[Incidentally, churches don't now appear to be shown on online versions
of Ordnance Survey maps. How long has that been the case?]

Where are you looking online?

www.streetmap.co.uk, search for Holmfirth.

It shows a church with tower (Holmfirth parish church) in the middle of
Holmfirth, another to the west (St Johns, Upperthong), a church without
tower at c 11 o' clock from the parish church (Holmfirth Methodist) and
another further north (Wooldale Methodist). Scrolling up shows 2 more
in Wooldale including the Friends' Meeting house & the parish church in
Netherthong. Scrolling right shows another adjacent to the main road to
New Mill (Lydgate Presbyterian) and New Mill parish church with tower.

All present and correct.

Zooming in they do disappear at the intermediate scale but at the
largest scale they're marked PW.

[Roger Mills]

You are absolutely correct - I was getting confused - sorry!

I was looking at the maps on the Walkhighlands site and hadn't noticed
that their 1:50k maps are now provided by OpenStreetMap rather than OS.
Their 1:25k maps are genuine OS, and *do* show churches, as expected.

[Ian Goddard]

That's why I always recommend streetmap.co.uk. Ironically they are real
OS maps whilst Google & the rest are just street maps!

Some years ago, the Ordnance Survey took the decision only to mark
churches where they are landmarks. This tends to mean that some smaller
churches in urban areas, especially when they're without a tower or
spire, are now omitted.

May I recommend https://www.fonant.com/osmap.html

Real OS maps, search on NG or place enlarge as required etc.

Thanks, Terry. Very impressive. However, after a little zooming in and
panning around it told me I'd used 15% of my daily allowance of tiles.
There also didn't seem to be any print mechanism although one could take
screen shots and print from that. Is it simply a sampler for their
services or a prototype for a commercial site?

Actually Ian I have no idea! I was introduced to the site on another
group. I have used it quite a lot for reference but have never had a usage
message so was not aware of any daily allowance. I am not sure how much
you did to use up 15% but I suppose the plus side is that you still had 85%
remaining. I will try and find out more and will report back.

Some are now very ordinary buildings looking no different from the
neighbouring premises.
