Help finding a PR image?
« on: Friday 08 December 17 12:50 GMT (UK) »
This should be easy.

I have a baptism:

BICE    Percy    son    William    Thomasine    Wm Bice died 17 Jun 1879    Tywardreath    Mariner    5 Aug 1879

from this site:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~staustell/Data/TywardBap/1860-1879AC.htm

This site:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~staustell/Structure/Genealogy-LDS.htm

implies that quite a lot  of the Cornish PRs are online. Sadly, the instructions on that page are wonderfully detailed, but out of date.

Can anyone either point me at the PRs for Tywardreath, or (even better) tell me how I could have found it myself?

It is possible that images of the Prs have not been published on line. Familysearch have filmed the registers, according to their catalogue, so you should be able to order and view them at your nearest Family History Centre.

They are not available on microfilm.

Just search from the catalogue for the parish of interest, then follow the links:

That's perfect - a general method, and my particular example. Thank you!

Sorry I should have said that not all events are indexed but are image only.  You need to click on the link "Browse through 202,325 images"  from this page:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1769414

Then click through to your parish.
