Hello Helen, My first husband's aunt was called Impey. She lived in a village called Eversholt near Woburn. I'm pretty sure her son Donald Impey is still alive, but he may not be part of the family you are looking for. Do you have any more up to date information? I could then give my ex husband a ring and make a few enquiries for you.

Helen, IMPEY is not a very common name but we do have one family with Bedford connections: Thomas IMPEY was a farm bailiff in Hertfordshire. His son Peter was born Well Head, Herts 1851. Peter married Martha Alice HINSBY 8 May 1873 in St.Neots Wesleyan Chapel. They had four children: Samuel James IMPEY b. May 1874 St.Neots Martha Alice IMPEY b. November 1875 Kentish Town Frank Peter IMPEY b. February 1878 Eaton Socon Sidney Thomas IMPEY b.November 1881 Kentish Town We believe that at some stage there was also a Biggleswade connection. Regards, Reg

Hello everyone, I am looking for any information on John and Eleanor (Rowson) Endersby who might have lived in Bedford during the early to mid 1700s particularly their parents and any siblings names. I am trying to connect my line of Endersbys from the US with the line that is in Australia and finding John's parents and siblings will help in our search. Thank you, Scott Dorschner

Dear Eve, Thank you very much for your detailed reply to my posting. I very much appreciate your valuable time and opinion. We have visited Bedford, Huntingdon and London trying to find Richard Hyde's forebears. you have added to our information. We think Edward (son of the Lord Chancellor and brother of Anne, the Duchess of York) who predeceased his father, and was probably unmarried, may have fathered a child. We have no proof of this. A note, written by Wilma's forebear, in failing health, about 1820, and found among papers in Australia, referred to Catherine, Duchess of Queensbury, as Aunt Kitty. Catherine was a great granddaughter of Edward, Lord Chancellor. Richard Hyde, barber and Gent of Biggleswade would have been ten or more years older than Catherine. According to ?The Dictionary of Biography, read in London in 1999 Catherine was "quite a lady" (my words). The given name Chancellor was used for one of Richard's descendants. Several years ago you helped my husband with a query he had on anther list about Cold Bathfields Hospital/Gaol in London. He is fairly certain hefound his forebear in the gaol, in 1754, albeit with the shortened surname, Marsh.

Edward Hyde was Lord Chancellor (eventually) but while he was in Holland in the 1650s with the exiled royal princes, the younger, James (II), took advantage of Anne Hyde, Edward's daughter, and for once did the decent thing and married her -her father was a respectable lawyer, of an old minor gentry family, which probably made all the difference. The family were originally minor gentry in Cheshire, but the sons got around. Lawrence Hyde (who had an estate in Dorset) was the father of Henry Hyde, father of Sir Edward (who became Lord Clarendon and *his* sone Earl of Rochester); and of Sir Lawrence who was Attorney General to Anne of Denmark, wife of James I; and of Sir Nicholas, Chief Justice of England, who condemned the MPs who protested against the unconstiututional behaviour of Charles I in 1631. It sounds feasible that your Richard could be linked to this family, if correctly referred to as 'gentleman', at a time when they were distinctly picky about correct use of the term, could be descended from a younger son of this family. Barbers at the time were usually Barber- Surgeons (and belonged to the livery Company of that name).. It was quite usual for the younger sons of gentlemen to go into the professions (lawyer, doctor) or into the better end of trades, where the money could be made. The knowledge of a connection with Anne, Duchess of York (she died before her husband became king) could well have been preserved in the family. The male line of the Hyde Earls of Clarendon and Rochester failes and the heiress married a Villiers, who was granted the title of Earl of Clarendon. -- Eve McLaughlin Author of the McLaughlin Guides for family historians Secretary Bucks Genealogical Society

If anyone is looking to pop some additional flesh on the old family history bones from the village of Wilstead you may like to know that a series of booklets on the parish containing a lot of genealogical information ( some from unique sources) has now been finished.

Further ot the postings of David and others about William HIDE born about 1780, I would agree with Mike Strange that here does not seem to be a Bigglewade connection. However, David, should you disover a Bigglewade connection, please e-mail me. My descent is from Richard HYDE, Barber and Gent of Biggleswade, who married Mary COLLY at Biggleswade in 1704. I have not been able to find the birth of Richard. Family lore suggests a connection with a Hide family who married into the Royal family! I would be interested to hear from any listers who know the connection. Wilma Marshman NORDS WHARF NSW

Dear David and Audrey Thank you so much for these helpful ideas.I think the non conformist idea is right - as you say all Louisa and John's children were baptised in the Magdalen St Primitive methodist church in Cambidge and her second marriage was in the Zion chapel in Cambridge. Theis 2nd marriage in 1844 gave me her father's name and profession. It would be good to find evidence of James being Louisa's brother. I had found him on the 1841 but as you say no baptisms in Family Search IGI records to put them together. i have been thinking that the Lucy Carter baptised 31 Oct 1806 in Potton is probably Louisa, but again difficult to be sure. This would suggest her mother's name could be Elizabeth.

I wondered if James, the father of Louisa chr 1812 might have been your Louisa's elder brother. James and Sarah produced a succession of children in Potton, and they appear in the 1841 census in Potton. He gave his age as 50 in 1841 but I cannot see his baptism either. If you're really stuck, as you appear to be, it might be worthwhile trying to follow James on the offchance that he is Louisa's brother - naming his daughter after his sister? I see John and Louisa's children were all baptised in the primitive methodist church in Cambridge. Possibly the Carters were also non-conformist which is why their baptisms don't appear in Potton parish register.
