If I want to find someone in Lansallos, Cornwall on 1841 census, where should I be looking (out of the list of parishes for Cornwall?) Neither Lansallos nor any of surrounding villages seem to be listed. Many thanks. Bev x

Hi Bev! The parish of Lansallos, anciently called Lansalewys, is situated in the deanery and Hundred of West. It is bounded on the north by Pelynt, on the east by Talland, on the south by the sea, and on the west by Lanteglos-by-Fowey and Lanreath. The parish name means 'Church site (lann) of unknown name'. Lansallos is a small village on the south coast of Cornwall between Fowey and Polperro, situated above the scenic Lansallos Cliffs. When Talland civil parish was abolished in 1934, the area was distributed between Looe and Lansallos parishes. The village of Polperro is covered by two ecclesiastical parishes, Lansallos and Talland. ************************** Hope this helps! Kim

If you go to freepages.genealogy.rootsweb*com/~kayhin Cornwall on line census project you will find Lansallos transcribed on there. It is enumeration district 5 of the hundred of west HO107/153. Hope that helps.

Thanks Kim, but no!!!! The only place you mention that is on 1841, is Fowey - not even Polperro gets its own parish - and not a single one of my lot are there - - you see my dilemma, lol??? Bev x
