That's all it says on the transcription on Cornwall OPC Database?!
What more were you expecting to see? ;D

KGarrad, thanks for reply. My drill is to find a baptism/marriage or whatever on eg FamilySearch, go to the County archive, bet out the fiche or microfilm copy of the original register and verify that I've seen the actual entry. About 90% of such checks are positive, but the remaining 10% fail. So no, I'm not looking for more info, only to verify that the actual archive record confirms the computer database entry. Does the transcription you are quoting show a copy of the parish register entry?

No it doesn't!
But check out www.cornwall-opc-database.org yourself.
You could contact the OPC for Morwenstow?
The page for Morwenstow says:
REGISTERS:
The OPC has the following resources:
The Parish Church of St John and St Morwenna Morwenstow
Births 1558 - 1901
