Records are also available at the Cornwall Record Office.

The Cornwall Family History Society has indexes available for marriages 1622-1837 and burials 1813-1837. These can be purchased in booklet, CD, or PDF download form. The Cornish Forefathers' Society has published transcriptions of baptisms (christenings) from 1708-1850 on CD. St Winnow has an online parish clerk who can be contacted through their website at Cornwall. This is a volunteer position, and he has access to some parish records, as well as some transcriptions of non-conformist records. He will answer inquiries as time and availability of records permits. Some of the parish records have also been put into the Cornwall Online Parish Clerks database (access through the same internet link) and can be viewed directly. The Cornwall Online Parish Clerks' database does not publish records less than 100 years old to be viewed online, but the OPC does have more recent records (as late as 1971 for baptisms), and information for more recent events can be obtained by contacting him directly.

Non-conformist records up to 1900 have also been published on CD and are available from commercial sources, such as Cornwall Legacy. Most non-conformists were Methodist or Bible Christian. The jurisdictional boundaries for these groups do not coincide with those of the Anglican parish. Records will usually be found in the circuits of St Austell, Bodmin, and Liskeard.

Some records have been filmed by the GSU and are in the Family History Library, but the coverage is far from complete. The Cornwall Record Office collection is much more nearly complete, and is open to the public by appointment. The remainder of the records in the CRO were filmed by Family Search in 2011, but have not yet been made available to search. A few images of burial records from 1684-1782 are online in the Family Search Historical Record collection (unindexed), but they have been transcribed and are in Cornwall OPC database, which could be used as an index to find the record to see on Family Search. There is a possibility that additional records may appear on Family Search in the future and that they would ultimately be indexed and searchable.
