Hi all, Bit of a cheeky request, but is anyone in Cambridge willing to visit a churchyard on Newmarket Road and take some photos for me? I've found my Gt Gt Grandfather and a few of his immediate family buried at the same place, and I'd like some photos of any headstones that remain. But according to the DruidIC.org website, the churchyard is locked, I dont want to get anyone arrested! I am willing to cover any petrol costs and any reasonable time costs. I visited the area in January and drove straight past it, I didn't find out they were buried there until I got home! Gutted :( Cheers :) Tony

you could also try fibis.org and google for "cathy's list" (some are even on the IGI though there are shortcomings and mistakes).

Hello everybody, With reference to my original enquiry I have now received some messages with the information that I sought and I have sent my thanks to the persons concerned. As this was my first foray to this list I must say how impressed I am with the assistance I have been given. Rod in Andover.

Hi Judy If you cannot get help, as the IGI entries are from extractions you could order the film in or order copies of those two entries for not a lot from the LDS. As a side issue, I have a Samuel DAY who married Dorcas LEADER in Balsham 1772, their daughter Mary b1773 Balsham married James HAYLOCK, who were the parents of James Taylor HAYLOCK b1797 Balsham Any connection?

AND if you are looking for them at the Family Records Centre they are known by the name of "Chaplain's Returns" and are filed with all the other 'sundry' indexes such as "Consular Returns", "BMDs at Sea", etc. IF the marriage took place while a regiment was out in India you should also find it at the "India Library" at "The British Library" at St. Pancras - but you will have to know where they were stationed as the whole system is divided up into 3 'Presidencies' :- Madras, Bombay and Bengal. (I found my great-grandfather's 1st marriage in the "Chaplain's Returns" at the FRC and in the 'Madras Presidency' registers. I hope that this helps !

You should be aware that the GRO index for Army & Navy marriages (that it is ones conducted in a barracks or naval yard) are held separately from those in the main index. Adrian

Does anyone have access to Balsham births in the original register? IGI has apparent discrepancy for John Day , son of John and Mary, being baptized in Jan 16, 1780 and Jan 29,1781 I believe, unless there was an infant death and an immediate pregnancy and birth, then these are the same person but need to get the date right from the original source. This may be the missing John Day at Linton link that I have posted queries about here recently ! Thanks ! Judy

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any information on the WILKINSON family in the Stetchworth area in the early 1600s? I am trying to find a marriage of John and Elizabeth WILKINSON between 1635 and 1645. They arrived in Ugley, Essex in 1646 with the baptism of their 4th child. Their 3 eldest children's names were Henry, Sarah and John. These children were born before they moved to Ugley so I am trying to find their baptisms as well. The reason I am looking into WILKINSONs in this area is I noticed a Henry WILKINSON in STetchworth on the IGI and as John named his eldest son Henry it is possible that his father's name was Henry. I would really appreciate any information or advice anyone could give me on this family. Thanks for your time, Donna

Hello Everybody, I am new to this list and I am seeking details of a birth/baptism for a William Harding who in 1861 census in Shoreditch has his place of birth as Ely. In 1851 census he was also in Shoreditch and has his place of birth as Haddenham. His birth appears to have been about 1802. By occupation he was a tailor and my wife is descended from him and his daughter Mary Ann Harding, born in London and who married Nevil Hanes Danes Sheepwash in Shoreditch. Amongst William Harding's children were daughters named Sophia and Mary Ann both born in London. I am hoping somebody on this list is also descended from the Harding family of Haddenham or that there is somebody on the list who can please identify William. I note that the Hugh Wallis website has baptisms for Haddenham for the period in which William would be expected to be baptised but the names listed are only for females so it appears not all the register has been transcribed. During the period in question one couple had seven daughters baptised at Haddenham between 1796 and 1808, that couple being William and Ann Harding/Harden. It appears likely that the mother was Mary Ann Sperry who married a William Harding at Haddenham in 1794. Amongst the daughters were Sophia and Mary Ann and those names appear above in the London family. In 1841 and 1851 census for Haddenham there is a Henry Harding, whose birth appears to have been about 1812 and his occupation was shown as a tailor, again the same as William in London. Henry appears to have been the one married at Haddenham in 1834 to Mary Ann Horster. I suspect that Henry and William were sons of the couple who married at Haddenham in 1794 and I hope somebody is able to confirm my suspicions please. Additionally I note that at Haddenham in 1822 a William Harding married Sarah Leavett and I suspect he might be my wife's William and that she later died and he remarried. When in London his wife was Mary Ann (maiden name unknown) but whom on census returns was born at Leominster in Herefordshire. It might be a co-incidence that in Herefordshire in 1832 there was a burial for a Sarah Harding for whom as yet I have no further information. Although this is not a short message I have tried to keep it simple and if anybody can answer the queries regarding William I shall be eternally grateful. Thank you, Rod Whale, Andover, Hampshire.

Hi, Geoff ! It certainly was NOT clandestine ! - I suppose the nearest equivalent nowadays would be the Territorial Army ? - and let's face it some of them have been out in places like Iraq ! It would not just have been in Ely - there were militia units all over the country ! I hope this helps ?

Hi Listers Go to the 1881 census and put in" militia recruit "into occupations nothing else and watch what comes up very very interesting , Margaret Notts

Hello Donna, I did not see a marriage for this couple in Little Gransden, Bourn, nor Litlington. I do not have access to the records of the other 3 parishes mentioned.

Hi listers Could anyone give me more information on the meaning of the term militia recruit? While trawling the 1881 census in Ely, Albert Loates (not of direct ancestry) was listed in Bernard Street as such. He was back with his family by 1991 and I'm just curious. Why Ely? What did he have to do? Was it a service like the army as we know it or some kind of clandestine movement? Many thanks Geoff Loates

Hello, I am trying to find the name of the father of Elizabeth Sarah Curtis who was christened on 1 August 1852 at Westley Waterless, Cambridge. I cannot find a birth registration for her. Her mother's name was Rebecca Curtis who was widowed in 1849 when her husband Charles Curtis died. I am anxious to find who the father was. If someone in that area could help me I would be most appreciative and could offer help to records in Sydney that might be required. Elizabeth Curtis was listed as age 3 years in May 1855, when she sailed on the "Ramillies" to Australia with her mother and older siblings thereby supporting that she must have been christened very soon after she was born. On the ship records the "religion" was listed as Wesleyan. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kerrie Sydney, NSW

Hello over the last 6 weeks or so I have been inundated with a strange kind of spam.. .there are some 60 words that say nothing... but the heading is always 'hi' so I delete some 15 a day.. Unread. .. I opened one in error to find it was a proper post. So I dont know what the others were about and Im not sure if they will all be archived and sorted? too... IF any were Rickwoods of Cambs Id be glad if the poster will contact me off list Thank you Josi

Hi Kerrie, I've a similar problem with a few of my distant cousins. The only place where the father's name was mentioned for me was on the child's marriage certificate...
