Hello -

I would read the first three letters as 'Per' and I think that Perranzabuloe is probably the most likely parish.

I think it says "Per quin libellor", which is Latin for "by that certificate". Without seeing more of the entry, I'm not sure what document it refers to.

It is possible that someone copied the wrong text from a previous baptism or birth record.

Hmm I'm a bit dubious about that Steve

We've got .....born in the Parish of  (then unreadable word(s)) in or near the Town of Truro

I wouldn't have thought latin words would have been used for a birthplace??!!

As you said we really need to see more of the document.

That's how I read it too before I saw your answer...but it's written as Perquin Libellor and I googled it!

There isn't a Truro parish that come close to what is written that I can see.
