| Some pages are very hard to read! |
Inevitably there will be transcription errors - these will be corrected as they are discovered. Many of the original entries are very indistinct and care was not always taken at the time to ensure that details matched those in the Burial Register. Where an entry is thought to contain errors a note is included in the final column.
Regrettably, subsequent interments in old plots have not always been recorded. Comparison with Suezan James's list of memorial inscriptions (see below) can be both fascinating and confusing!
Section A has however been cross-checked with the Burial Register and memorial inscriptions. Where there there are inconsistencies between the data, this is noted. We plan to extend this cross-checking to section B when time permits.
A number in the 'notes' column denotes the reference number in the parish Burial Register.

Many graves do not have headstones, so to find a specific grave it is helpful to know the names of several adjacent graves, hence the inclusion the following lists. To further complicate matters, row numbers are not marked in the churchyard! Our churchyard plan will hopefully get you started.

Suezan has plans to expand this information to include Trevenson churchyard.
Access will be provided initially by OPC look-up but later by making the collected data available on a central website.
The OPC for St Illogan Parish is David E.Crocker
David would especially like to contact people who have transcribed Illogan records (probably at the CRO in Truro) and to a lesser extent their own individual family records.
Further information about the OPC scheme can be found at http://west-penwith.org.uk/opc.htm
