Hello I will be unsubing later while I am away on holiday if anyone needs to contact me regarding some of my postings please do it direct to my e-mail address I will be back after my rest good luck in all your researching Regards Janice

As I had become intrigued by your Kezia, and it being an unusual name, I looked through the complete birth certificates index at a commercial site, and find the following Kezia King births registered around 1840: 1839: 1st qtr none 2nd qtr Kezia King Sherborne VIII 98 3rd qtr none 4th qtr none 1840: 1st qtr Kezia Scorey? Storey? King Farnham IV 134 2nd qtr none 3rd qtr none 4th qtr none 1841: 1st qtr none 2nd qtr none 3rd qtr none 4th qtr none Despite the fact that this is supposedly a full list, it doesn't include the birth certificate of the Kezia L. King born in Melbourn in 1841 (available from the Cambridge Records Office site) so I don't think we're any further forward from this!

HI again Cretia This has crossed with my reply to you. You don't give dates, but I think you mean that this is a 20th century marriage at St Mark - usually known as Grantchester or sometimes Cambridge. I have not seen it named as Newnham, but it is certainly in that area. This was a new parish formed in 1918, though there are some baptisms registers from 1884 -one source, 1872 another. You will not find an LDS film for this date, nor does Cambridgeshire FHS have any plans to transcribe - at least not until we have completed the ancient parishes. Early registers are at Cambridge Record Office Doesn't really help at all.......

Evelyn, If you look at a map you will see that Essex touches the southern edge of Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire the western. Some civil registration districts spanned the borders, and covered several parishes or towns. Check FreeBMD for the King family (All Districts, All Counties) for the year range. (They may have been married in Essex, just over the border, or the district spans into parts of 2 counties.) Then check out the "District" link that directs you to a Rootsweb web page that lists the districts, and what villages or parishes (in larger cities) are covered and where the UK civil records are located. Then go to FamilySearch.org, search the Family History Catalog by subject (village, county, ...), and follow the resulting web pages for the district (or village) until you can view the Film Notes to see what films are available. (See earlier email reply to another for similar hint.)

Have you tried searching for your person in FreeBMD? (I find if not known, use All Districts and All Counties. Otherwise to limit search, select either the known Parish (and year range) or known County (Cambridgeshire).) Allow a little time for a new window to open - BEHIND the search window. Select "District" link and it will go to a page that lists the District and what parishes or towns are within that district. This will open in a new window. http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/REG/hrt.htm "Hitchin Created 1st July 1837. Mainly in Hertfordshire, but included parts of Bedfordshire. Sub-districts : Baldock; Hitchin. GRO volumes : VI (1837-51); 3a (1851-1930). Baldock, Bygrave, Caldecote, Clothall, Codicote, Graveley, Great Wymondley, Hexton, Hitchin, Holwell (from 1897), Ickleford, Ippollitts, Kimpton, King's Walden, Knebworth, Langley, Letchworth, Lilley, Little Wymondley, Newnham, Norton, Offley, Pirton, Preston, Radwell, St. Paul's Walden, Shephall, Stevenage, Walsworth, Weston, Willian.

Cheers all, I am having trouble tracing my ggrandmother's family. From what I have she, (Kezia KING) was born c1840 at MILTON HALL SUFFOLK with parents Edward KING and Maria (nee SMITH). I have been told that there is a MILTON in Cambridgeshire which is quite close to the Suffolk border so that is why I am listing here in the hope that SKS could lookup census for 1841 and 1851 to find my KING family. Edward was a blacksmith. MILDENHALL in Suffolk didn't find me a Kezia with the right parents. TIA Evelyn

In checking the fiche of Milton parish in Cambridgeshire, I find no Kings listed in the index. Good luck!

Dear Evelyn, I understand you problem - the nearest "Milton Hall" I know is in Westcliffe, Essex!

Hi Cretia Newnham is a part of Cambridge. It is not a parish so will not appear on familysearch. Depending on the exact area and date, it was probably either in Grantchester parish, or in St Botolph's parish Cambridge. However it is only a few minutes walk from the centre of Cambridge and its dozen + churches..... plus if they were university people, the 30+ college chapels. Hope that helps In message <9a.14b02df0.2e79bd1a@aol.com>, Mama2see@aol.com writes >I am trying to find out the film number for Newnham,Cambridge..When I try to >find it on familysearch nothing will come up for a Newnham,Cambridge..I >know there is one..but only other places show ..Is Newnham a part of another >community or am I looking in the wrong place?

Does anyone have links to a STANTON family who lived in Leverington? Samuel and Mary STANTON had a son Stephen bap at Leverington 3 April 1792. He married and Elizabeth TODD who was born in Irthlingborough. They had three children, Stephen (b1817) Samuel (b 1818, d 1819) and Elizabeth (b1819). Elizabeth, the mother, died after having Elizabeth in 1819. I have not been able to track the family any further. Young Stephen and Elizabeth are mentioned in the Will of a Mary CONWORTH and Elizabeth, the mother, was a niece of Mary's. Young Elizabeth is supposed to have married a John TYARS (according to Mary C's will) but she is NOT the Elizabeth Tyars who appears in censuses of Wisbech - that Elizabeth was older and not born in the area. There is a large STANTON family tombstone just to the right when you come out of the door of Leverington church. I look forward to hearing from anyone who knows of this family.
