Where is St Ginnis?

Posted by Dianna on 12/2/2023, 5:12 am

Good afternoon
I'm requiring a bit of help regarding a possible historic Parish of St Ginnis. My ancestor - PARMENAS WATTS was 'of St Ginnis' when he married Elizabeth HANGER at Holsworthy, Devon in 1777.
If anyone could possible assist that would be great thanks - my google search have no resulsts!
Thanks in advance,
Dianna of South Australia

The actual register reads: resident ..in the parish of St Gennis in Cornwall. (And yes, I agree with St Gennys).

Probably St Gennys, on the north coast of Cornwall.

Thank you so much for the confirmation- this is interesting! What I got to view didn’t mention ‘Cornwall’ - so many transcripts!

Thanks for your prompt reply! If it’s Cornwall then perfectly fits in with my theory! Your a champ
