Doing it Hardin Falmouth

[spikeharwood]

On some Falmouth burial records available through OPC I have found transcriber notes that refer to "Gay and Fox Transcripts".
Two for examples are
Thomas Hardin 4 April 1810 and
George Hardin 27 March 1810.
According to Wiki, Susan Gay wrote a book in 1903 entitled Old Falmouth with the assistance of the Fox Family. I don't think it contains burial lists.
I've had a bit of a poke around the interweb without much luck.
Has anyone bumped into an online listing of these burial transcripts?

Hi, Spike,

The book about Old Falmouth doesn't contain burial lists, but it can be viewed online at archives.org: Old Falmouth (Click on Old Falmouth at top left to open.)

The burials are in a book published by the Devon and Cornwall Record Society. )". the Hathi Trust has that one: "]The registers of baptisms, marriages & burials ... pt.2. Falmouth, Eng. (Parish

Have fun!

Thanks Zib...I've downloaded Old Falmouth for when I get time for a spot of light reading!
Hathi seems to be about inter University Library lending (and downloads??). A few hoops to jump through. Will give it some thought to see if there is a workaround.

It is, but if you click on the part of my message that's in blue, that is the link and the Library of Michigan's copy of the book should open right up.

And for copies of the Fox and Gay Transcripts of Falmouth Baptisms, Marriages and Burials 1663-1812 go to FamilySearch where you will find the images in two parts.

Baptisms, Marriages 1663-1812
Burials 1664-1812

The following link should take you to the Falmouth Collection on FamilySearch:-

familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffamilysearch.org%2Frecapi%2Fsord%2Fwaypoint%2FM6NX-5P8%3A138123201%2C138710201%3Fcc%3D1769414

There are 350 images in the first set and 146 in the second. These two collections are actually the one volume split into two parts and you will find the Index at the end of the Burials.

Zib,
When I go to the HATHI page I get a message telling me that the book is not available online but I can search inside the text. The results tell me (for Hardin) how many matching terms I get and on which pages (3 pages and four matches).
The problem seems to be that the book is in the public domain in the States, but my ISP indicates I'm not in the States and because they don't know what the copyright laws might be where I am they wont let me have access to the book.
I have found a local genealogy shop that can get a CD of the burials for $30 OR I can get an ISP fudger for a month for $5 OR I can find someone who uses same for Netflix OR I can see the book on Family Search....THANKS CT!!
