Norman, I'd like to know that too. (How to approach the CRO). Cookie, Florida, USA << GreystokeB@aol.com >>

The Cambridge Record Office very kindly did a lookup for me and gave me all the information I wanted including the witnesses. Equally helpful was a reply from Julia Henderson who gave me two possible baptisms for Sarah, the second was proved correct. The marriage details from the fiche of Ely St Mary was the same as the CRO with the exception that no witnesses were recorded. Researching in the originals often shows additional important details as this example shows. My thanks to the CRO and to Julia for their valuable help.

Yes and individual names would almost certainly clog up the list even more. Though it might be a good idea to put names in the subject line in CAPITALS./ There is absolutley NO NEED to put huge lists on these roll calls. All you need are the main lines 4 @most surely. Places and dates that correspond to those dates, not every individual you have in your tree. Honor PS are you sure you meant this to go the this list rather than the Suffolk list???

Hello Janice - there is a Hannah Poulter born at Knaresborough in 1857. (Sept 57 Knaresborough 6a 103) . It might be possible that her family moved to Kirtling (which is in the Newmarket registration district) when she was very young, and she has given that as her birth place because it is the first place she remembers.

Mildenhall is in Suffolk, but very close to the Cambridgeshire border. Liz

It tells people nothing about the families you are researching. It would be much more useful to put the family name (in capitals) the place and the date in the heading, with a separate post for each name. This makes it much easier for people searching the archives, and those who read messages in the digest form. Incidentally, having just been searching the archives, putting a list of all the names you are researching at the end of all your messages means that anyone researching any one of your names will keep coming across your messages, and may well decided to ignore all of them - you could miss that lucky break!

MUNNS may not be angels, but were they certainly saints! My ancestor's sister, Elizabeth COLLIS of Orwell Cambs married James MUNNS, also of Orwell. Most of the family converted to what was then called Mormonism. Their children George and Emma were on one of the first ships of Saints to leave Liverpool for Utah via New York on the Steamship Nevada, arriving 21 May 1874. Elizabeth and James followed soon after and the family eventually settled in Lehi, Utah.

Does anyone have access to ELM baptisms? The original registers are at Wisbech Museum; Cambs. Record Office has a film copy. I don't know if any other copies are available. I am looking for baptism of: SUSANNAH (or SUSAN) JOHNSON, b. about 1791. She died at adjacent Outwell in 1830 , "age 39" - could be she was born five years either way from 1791. She married in 1813. It would be lovely if someone could check for her baptism at ELM. Ruth USA
