He met a very rich girl. ;-) The old letter below explains it. I ever am my dear friend, Your affectionate Lister, S. Reveley ============================================ Crosby, January 16th, 1823 My Dear Brother, We have finished your four shirts which we were intending to send this week in the trunk with the Bible and some other books, but the day being so very stormy that I think Waller will scarce be able to come, if not you'll receive this by the post and we must send the bundle next week. My Mother has at last received a letter from Frank in which he makes a great many apologies for not writing sooner and begs her forgiveness. He tells us the lady he has married is a native of Chatham, the niece of a gentleman of considerable property by whom she has been educated, and at whose death she will be entitled to something handsome, altho at present he is rather in the huff they having married without his knowledge or consent. He says he has the offer of a curacy in May, but he is in doubt whether to accept it, he has been strongly solicited to begin school at Chatham but has not the means at present. We have not sent the letter so we have it to answer this week and you can see it when you come, he is not in the same lodgings. We wrote to George a fortnight since and expect to hear from him on Saturday. We should be very glad if you would send in another volume of the bible when you meet with a favourable opportunity. I ever am my dear brother, Your affectionate sister, E. Reveley

Sarah http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/d.asp has a number of directories for Cambridge. On page 103 of the 1830-1831 Pigot's Directory for Cambridgeshire under 'Academies, seminaries and public schools' is the entry for the Free Grammar School in Free School Lane with James BAILEY MA headmaster and Francis REVELEY BA undermaster. On page 18 of the Cambridgeshire section of the 1839 Robson's Commercial Directory of Beds, Bucks, etc under 'Public Charities & Schools' is the entry for Perse's Free Grammar School with Peter MASON as headmaster and Geo. BARBER as usher. A quick check of the school's prosectus shows that Perse's Free Grammar School was to be found in Free School Lane in until 1890 or so - so these 2 places are one and the same which fits in with Estelle's idea!!!

Frank married Mary Roots of Chatham at Covent Garden in 1818. .....George Francis was born at No 85 Long Acre, 1824. He married Sarah Pullar. .....(Samuel) John born was born at No 85 Long Acre,1826. .....Ruth born at the Perie (?) Grade School Cambridge, 1828 .....Elizabeth born Nov 12 Fair Street Cambridge 1832. I'm not sure where he worked, but in a letter of 1823 he did say he had the offer of a curacy in May, but was in doubt whether to accept it. He had been strongly solicited to begin school at Chatham but had not the means at present. In 1836 the family was still in Cambridge.

John, There is information regarding eleven members of the GOTOBED family listed in the Church Book: St. Andrew's Street Baptist Church, Cambridge 1720-1832, published by the Baptist Historical Society. One family had no less than nine daughters[ just imagine the phone bill ! ] If this is interest, I can let you have the details of the individuals recorded. Regards, Tony Simpson.

I would be grateful to anyone with access to Papworth Everard baptism fiche, if they could forward me details of the Rolls family. I am trying to establish if there is a connection with the Fenstanton Rolls. Stan Rolls

Is this of any use to anyone? I have the death certificate for JOHN HOWARD aged 63, a publican, who died at Swaffham Bulbeck in 1861. I was hoping it was my 'missing' Henry but never mind. Hope he belongs to someone.
