Thanks, Estelle, that looks like her. It looks like another mystery solved. I do know a Mahala, now in her twenties. Regards, Heatha

The Cambridgeshire Family Historical Society Baptism Index (http://www.cfhs.org.uk/BaptismIndex/) states that an asterix indicates that there is more than the normal information on the parish record and all the baptisms for my ancestors have this asterix. Is there anyone that has access to the extra information or that can tell me how I could find out what it is? My ancestors were William & Marian BRADSHAW (nee BULLER) and their children (below) were all baptised in 1836 in the parish of Sutton:- William Burrowes (9), Charles Feast (7), Edwin Buller(5), Alfred (3), Matilda Harriett (4m). Charles also appears to have been baptised in the Ely Wesleyan Church aged 2 months in 1829. This record also is asterixed. The family (without Alfred) emigrated to Adelaide Australia in 1837. Thanks Mary - Australia

Hi Heatha, It looks like the phonetic spelling of MARLEIGH to me. Cheers Geoff

There was a restructuring of county boundaries including some name changes some time in the 1960s or 70s. At that time the County of Huntingdonshire, which was bounded by Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire, was renamed as a 'district'. Ramsey was in the County of Huntingdonshire. There is an interesting website with the history of the county at www.huntingdonshire.info Liz

I'm new to the list and have a geographical question. I'm researching Eliza MAYCOCK who, in 1846, was sentenced to 15 years transportation to Van Diemen's Land for setting fire to haystacks belonging to her employer Mr BRIDGFOOT. Her trial was at Huntingdon Assizes and in the news report of the day in The Times her address was given as Ramsay, Norfolk. I can't find a Ramsay in Norfolk but I believe the Ramsey in Cambridgeshire isn't too far away from Huntingdon - would county boundaries have changed or might this just be an error? Any information gratefully received. Paula :-)

Dear Heatha, if transcribed correctly, then Hebrew locative Maaleh = 'ascent', but could it have been meant for Mahalah? One of Cain's wives, her name was used in England in the 18th century.

Because I find it easier to read I have printed out a few areas of the 1861 Cambridgeshire census, I have now finished with them so if anyone wants them I can send them to the first person who sends me their snail mail address, the areas I have printed out are :- Wimpole Orwell Kingston Arrington East Hatley and Hatley St. George Ricky DONALD rickydonald@blueyonder.co.uk www.donald-family.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Chat with me on :- MSN Messenger ricky_donald@hotmail.com Yahoo ricky_p_donald@yahoo.com

Hello David, That's possible. I hadn't realised that Mahalah was biblical. It's not in Cruden's Concordance in either the names or the general section. I always thought that Cruden's is the bees knees - not any more! I shall start rereading Genesis now! Many, many thanks. That makes Maaleh a girl. Kind regards, Heatha

I had ordered the 1861 census film for Fordham from the LDS but today was told it was unavailable (not sure why), so I am hoping someone with access can help with the following please. Sarah BROWN aged c.71 born Higham Suffolk. She is in the 1871 census at Market Street, Fordham living with son-in-law William Bentick. Mary BENTICK aged c.71 widow, born possibly Chippenham (maybe Suffolk). In 1851 she is at Market Street misnamed as Mary Bantie living with son John (20 in 1851) and daughter Martha (18 in 1851). I have searched Mary Bentick in GRO death indices from 1851-1871 with no success, but maybe her surname was misspelt.

Back to Woodditton: having solved Ampillas (Ann Phillis) I am now looking at Maaleh Nunn, twin of Tamar, I presume. I know where Tamar comes from but Maaleh? Is it a male or female name and where does it come from? I have searched the Internet and come up with a load of place names. The name has come from LDS IGI with source information. Many thanks in advance, Heatha

Can SKS advise me as to the whereabouts of Turbysee (various spellings) Thank you Janet

Dear Pam, Yes, the theory that Stephen is the son of John Man(s)field and Jane (Wetherall) has been accepted as a real possibility for a long time, however, there have been no positive links found so far. I would very much like to see a reference to a brother, sister, aunt or uncle. No will has been quoted so far, for instance. My dilemma is that I now have several diverse references that give a close ties to other family names, some within the same parish (listed below). Paul Chapman told me that the local vicar of Swaffham Prior had periodic "round ups" of stray parishioners' children that had not been baptised, and William & Jane's Stephen could have easily been eight when baptised in 1774. We all know that a William WETHERALL was a witness at Stephen & Jane's wedding in Swaffham Prior, but also: William Man(s)field is married to Alice NEWMAN, the banns were in Swaffham Prior, but the marriage circa December 1756 isn't. . William's land in Swaffham Prior adjoins HUNT land. Stephen Mansfield & Elizabeth Watson were married in Swaffham Prior, their daughter ANN married LUKE HUNT there in 1805. Stephen & Jane's granddaughter married JOHN NEWMAN in Burwell in 1859. His parents were Thomas & Rebecca (Peachey). The rest of their children scattered married out of the area which doesn't help us much. James in Isleham, Elizabeth in Little Wilbraham, Sarah in Stow Cum Quy & Stephen in Swaffham Bulbeck. It bothers me greatly that there is no absolute proof!

Hello While I am trying to find my Susannah Lyons I came across this entry on the GRO Births 1860 3rd qrt Lyon Florence Annie Mary Cambridge 3B 441 If any one comes across a Susannah Lyons born about 1860 (give a year or so either side) in Middlesex/ Whitechapel please let me know Regards Janice

Quite a bit of research has been done on the Man(s)field lines - my own interests centre on West Wratting and Weston Colville, though I do have data on other branches as well. I believe that the Stephen Mansfield who married Elizabeth Watson was almost certainly the son of John Man(s)field & Jane Wetherell. John & Jane's son was baptised 12 Jan 1766 at Balsham. This would fit exactly with the Stephen who died aged 70 in 1836. This family of Man(s)fields becomes difficult from here back as there are several lines of thought on where John Man(s)field fits into the bigger family picture. Pam Cooper Qld, Australia
