...in other Parishes such as Sennen and St Levan you will find nothing before 1699/1700...
Regarding Cornish records, available or not! - You could start with the fact that in 1538 Cromwell (I believe) issued the decree that the recording of births/baptisms, marriages and burials should be undertaken in a manner with some form of order about it. Mark this as the beginning Parish Registers.
Whilst 1538 was the date all this was supposed to officially begin you should be aware that not all places were happy with the news of all this extra paperwork and so recording of these events did not actually begin when it was supposed to. And even if the keeping of such records did commence 'on time' many of those records have not survived or many that have survived are so badly damaged that they are unreadable.
In Cornwall you will find records in some Parishes that do begin quite early - 1560 for Redruth and 1563 for St Erth are examples - whilst in other Parishes such as Sennen and St Levan you will find nothing before 1699/1700.
But don't assume that because records in a Parish begin at a certain date you will find ALL records thereafter!
