In case it's of help here's an excellent free rootsweb site carrying thousands of Helston PRs including several Dales, Treloars etc.

I found it when researching our lifelong neighbours in Cinderford, now sadly departed; Wilf HARRY was born in Helston in 1919 but he settled in the Forest and married a Cinderford girl during WW2. I believe his family moved to the Forest when he was a child to find work in the mines following the decline in Cornish Tin mining.

Genuki really surpasses itself for it's Helston pages, very informative especially wrt Family History researches, presumably emphasising just how many men had to leave Kernow for work when the tin was exhausted.

PS UPDATE, oops!
On revisiting the excellent rootsweb site tonite, first time in 2 years, I've just realised it's presumably the same "OPC" database Colin's kindly mentioned, just saw it's described as Online Parish Clerks hence "OPC"...
