Can any one point me in the right direction. I am trying to find ALBERT COOPER s/o ALFRED COOPER. Albert would have been born around 1893. He Married FRANCES ALICE PLUMB. We think Frances came from the Boxworth area. Would be most grateful for any help/suggestions. Can one get access to the '91 census.? or better still the '01. Honor

No immediate connection springs to mind - mine seem to have stuck to the Doddington/Wimblington area. However someone in Australia is reseaching Fishers in the Terrington area If I find a connection I'll get in touch Pam West Sussex

Hi List Sorry if you've seen this saga before... Thomas WILLSON was born in Ely Cambs around 1841. His son George Herbert WILLSON was born in Boston, Linc in 1864, the mother being Mary Ann WILLSON, formerly SMITH. Mary Ann died in 1865. I have both the birth (George's) and death certs. What I can't find is any trace of the marriage between Thomas WILLSON and Mary Ann SMITH. FreeBMD has barely started transcribing the marriages from 1860 to 1865. I have searched the IGI in vain. I had hoped to find them in 1861 census, but so far with no luck. If anyone stumbles over this marriage would they please let me know. My head is sore from hitting against this brick wall :<)) Gail in NZ

Pauline, found the following birth at Ely on the LDS Church site.

As an old girl of this school, I can tell you that the County School for girls in Cambridge, became the Cambridgeshire High School for Girls following the Butler Education Act (1944?)- but it was always known as "The County", and we were known as "County Girls". In your grandmother's day, it would have been in (I think) Collier Road (off Mill Road), and it moved to a new purpose built building in Long Road in the 1930s. The building is now Long Road Sixth Form College. One piece of trivia you might enjoy: When it was at Collier Road, the playground was overlooked by art students at the next door art college. One of the students was Ronald Searle - and it is said that St Trinians was inspired by the County Girls - perhaps your grandmother was one of those that he watched! ----- Original Message ----- From: <kingfive@fish.co.uk> To: <ENG-CAMBRIDGESHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 9:25 AM Subject: [ENG-CAMB] County School Cambridge > Does anyone know if the County School Cambridge still exists, possibly under a > different name? > My grandmother attended the school, leaving in 1926 at age 16 to start work at > the newly opened branch of Sainsburys in Cambridge.

Hi All I am new to this area and suspect I am chasing after a wild goose, but nothing tried, nothing gained. On the IGI there is an entry for a marriage between Samuel TEESON and Agnes McKune on 28th October 1788 at St Mary's the Great, donated. There is also an entry , same date with a batch #, for St Andrews the Great,so I am assuming that the latter is the correct entry. I wonder if anyone on the list has access to the records of St Andrews who could kindly check that entry. The children for this couple appear on the IGI at St Mary's the Great, with a batch # so I am tempted to believe those entries to be correct, last child listed 1793. There is a 5 year gap and then another child appears to a Samuel and Frances in 1798. There is no death for Agnes listed on the IGI or marriage for Frances but I am wondering if either of the events would be in the records of either of the 2 churches. If so could some kind person check, if they have access. I gather that many of the records have not been filmed in Cambrdgeshire but there are CDs available. Normally I would buy the CDs but if the second wife Frances is not mine I have no connections to the county. Hopefully her surname would have been John. I have a marriage in 1811 in St Mary's Stoke Newington and 2 of the witnesses are a Frances and Priscila Teeson, hence the wild geese. The groom was Robert Hunt, elder brother to James Henry Leigh Hunt, the writer.Their family is bad enough to follow, but the brides family seems even worse though I have just gone off at a tangent and am keeping my fingers crossed. Happy hunting to all beth in a cold and dreary Toronto

I have been trying to find a marriage for a Wm.Nightall or Knightall from Ely to a Rosetta Sheppard from Market Harborough and have not been able to find it anywhere..Am beginning to think that either they never married and just said they were (after all 10 of their children..) or they ran off to Gretna Green .. Does any sks out there have the addresses where I can write..One genealogist told me that there are about four different places you have to write as there is no one clearing house for their records..It would be either 1846+.. They are not listed in the GRO Index at all..and I can find nothing in the Ely H.T.marr.records not Mkt.Harborough Parish Records for them..and not where they were living when the first child was born..in 1847.. Would appreciate any help with the addresses for Gretna Green marriages... Thanks.. Cretia Olsen in Alaska..

Does anyone know if the County School Cambridge still exists, possibly under a different name? My grandmother attended the school, leaving in 1926 at age 16 to start work at the newly opened branch of Sainsburys in Cambridge. Her reference when starting work was given by a Miss Bingham from the school. Thanks, Andy King Milton Keynes

I am researching Fishers as well. I have Sarah Fisher born to Edward and ? in Elm in 1803, She married John Hunns in Newton in 1836 I think. Sound familiar? Isabelle

I have a name and address of a late cousin of my grandfather's : Alf and Kit WALLIS 69 Guntons Close, Soham , Cambs, CBY 5DJ. I think that Alf died in the late eighties and he may have been an ex navy man. Did anyone know of him or know his family? Anything no matter how little could be helpful.... I'm trying to find my Wallis's but had been put off track after an uncle got his two great-grandfathers muddled up and thought that it was Henry WALLIS that came from DISS and not the William GIRLING...... Henry came from Louth but moved to Hull and should have been this Alf WALLIS's grandfather. Thanks Annette ZOLA SHEPLEY in Sardinia

Hi Derek I have transcripts of the PRs on microfiche (courtesy of Cambs. FHS), but there is no baptism for William CHAMBERLAIN.

He was living in Skirlaugh ERY on the 1881 census. I found who I believe to be his father at Syleham, Suffolk : Head Abraham Girling aged 61 b Syleham occ Brush maker Wife Emily GIRLING aged 60 b Wilby Grand daughter Emily Chenery aged 12 b Syleham occ scholar census place: Syleham Nearby there was an Albert Chenery b Thorpes Abbotts, Norfolk aged 38 with wife Emma Chenery aged 36 b Hoxne, Suffolk and daughters Lousa aged 2 and Ellen aged 1 . Could they be Emily's parents and sisters?and could they be found on the 1871 census please. Also if there is anyone who knows or is researching these families. I was told that William had walked all the way from Diss to Holderness (nr Hull) looking for work. Thanks Annette in Sardinia

Hello Listers. Does anyone have access to the full entry of the 1851 census for Philip CORNWELL aged 53 and family.The place of birth is required please. The reference is HO107/1762/312B I am also searching for the baptism of Philip CORNWELL 1798/1799 possibly Bottisham depending on the information from the census. I have checked the IGI and the CFHS baptisms on their site, I have also sent for the fiche...... They were possibly non-conformists. Can reciprocate with look-ups at Derbyshire Record Office or Sheffield Archives.
