Hello Listers I have just joined this list, as I have recently discovered that my wifes first cousin once removed, "James Edwin CRADDOCK" was a POW in the far east during WW2. He was with the Royal Engineers and unfortunately he died in singapore in 1944. He was married to a school mistress called Jean Freda who lived in Cambridge. I do not know her surname, and would appreciate any help with regard to her family name and their wedding date. James was also a school master, who went to live in Cambridge. According to 1837online.com a James E CRADDOCK married a CRADDOCK in the March quarter of 1937. I have tried a search on FREEBMD without success. I live in South Staffs so do not have access to local Cambridgeshire records. Please could someone help.

Greetings, Does anyone have access to the church records for Parson Drove? Emanuel Church I think is the local church. I am seeking the maiden surname of Elizabeth Hawkins, wife of William as shown on the 1851 census, aged 28 therefore born ca 1823. She was born in Parson Drove and possible date of marriage to William 1847, presumably in this church. Any help very much appreciated. Best wishes, Mary, Lower Hutt, New Zealand. Researching Hawkins, Frear, Brown in Cambridgeshire.

Hello Listers, Does anyone familiar with the area know where Rays or Hays Lane was in Cambridge ? It appeared in a will written in 1828. No doubt the lane was absorbed into another highway as the town expanded, Any help appreciated by Tony at Chiswick

Hi Denise, Thankyou for taking the time to look. It could be her as my Lilian named 2 of her children Jessie and William. From her daughters birth cert. it states that she was age 25 in 1896.

Hi, This is my first posting to this list. Looking for any information on the family of Alfred Nunn and Emma Saunders. Their daughter Lilian (my 2xg/grandmother) was born abt 1871 Chesterton, Cambridgeshire and died 10 Jan 1931 Atherton, Qld, Australia. Lilian married 1st William Adams 1893 (have yet to confirm this marriage date), 2nd John William Titlow 20 Nov 1919 Qld, Aus. Have no idea when Alfred Nunn and Emma Saunders were born or married or if they also came to Australia. Any information would be most appreciated. Cheers, Sharon

Here is the David Nunn family on the index for the 1851 census in Whittlesford. The two children shown here are not enumerated with the family in 1881. They had obviously married and were no longer at home. There are 73 people with this surname indexed in Whittlesford in 1851 so getting and reading the microfilm might be fun, should you decide to do it. Note that the index indicates David was enumerated away from home the day of the census. Might be interesting to see where he was (2 pages away). (Of course, could be an error, and he is really on page 79A.)

Dear Listers, Much to my surprise, I have discovered that my GGrandfather, Joshua Samuel WOOLLARD (1844 - 1929), lived at 'Home Farm', Tadlow, Cambridgeshire, at the time of the 1871 Census. (By 1872 he was at Hatley St. George, and by1874 he was at Church Farm, Croydon). It appears from the Census image that he then farmed either 109 acres or 189 acres (it's difficult to read), but what I can't work out is where 'Home Farm' was/is. Does anybody with better local knowledge know the answer, please? Yours, etc. Geoffrey Woollard in Cambridgeshire.

I can't help you with this Mary Ann ADAMS, but I am researching ADAMS from Ely. Do you have any other names?

Hi David, The lose end I was tying up was, in fact, the Leet family of Histon where Jane Huckle was William Leet's second wife. I agree that she was probably baptised in Bourn in 1821. I know she died early in 1851 but I was interested to see 12-year old William Huckle living with the Leet family when the census was taken later that year. He was recorded as a son-in-law but I suspected that he might have been Jane's illegitimate son. I think Julia has now confirmed that from the Comberton parish registers. I haven't found young William in the 1861 census of Histon so I don't know what happened to him. Since that part of the Leet family are peripheral to my tree (and William Huckle is peripheral to them) I doubt if I shall investigate any further - I was just curious to see if my hunch about him was right (cue smugness).
