Thought I was quite good at noting my sources, but somehow I always miss inputting something.
Lost Cousins is completely free* this weekend (and ancestry's UK census records - registration required) so it's a good opportunity to add a few more relations, and some of the Runciman and Fairbairn families from the One Name Study and DNA project that we don't yet know where they "fit".
The very first one I went to enter from my data, I had to re-check the census entry concerned as I'd not noted all of the information necessary to enter them on Lost Cousins. At least one of the objectives of citing your sources was met, being able to find the entry again easily.
* the basic site has always been free, it is the additional contacting of relations found via the census records you have input that is also free this weekend.

Devon records
Good news for Devon researchers, particularly if you have access to FindMyPast.
Keep an eye on this link for availability of records from the Plymouth & West Devon Record Office (thanks to the LostCousins ) newsletter.
A quick search shows some parish register images available for Plymouth at least, with indexes for other parishes (that have been available for some time).

20th: Cornwall Parish Registers
The Lost Cousins newsletter alerted me to some of the recent additions to Family Search pilot - digitized, but unindexed, parish registers for Cornwall.
To view you have to go into Browse collections, but they are most definitely worth a look.
The marriages for St Germans go up to 1978, with a note from the Registrar saying the register was now closed, by order of the Registrar General.
No wonder the GRO put up their prices, what with the London records on Ancestry and Family Search access.
Quite interesting really. When I bought microfiche of several Devon parish registers, although the marriages continued beyond 1837 in several cases, those fiche weren't available for purchase.
(I continue to add any 1911 English Census families I research into Lost Cousins, one day I hope to actually find a "cousin"!)
