The Online Parish Clerk for Probus is Lorna Leadbetter, who can be reached via Email.
Visit my website for more information.
Although born in Probus parish, I have not lived in Cornwall for over 40 years but I visit as often as I can.
My collection of Probus information includes: Church Baptisms 1760-1910 and some non-conformist Baptisms; Marriages 1597-1900; Burials 1690-1910; Monumental Inscriptions; Census 1841-1901; Kelly's Directory of Cornwall 1919. I have assembled a large number of family trees for the parishes of Probus and Cornelly (and these often include people from neighbouring parishes too), and really enjoy answering queries about them.
