There is, and was, no parish in Suffolk or Cambridgeshire called Powellton (or Powelltor, which would not be an East Anglian placename in any case). In Suffolk, the nearest in sound is Pettaugh, pronounced Pettor. The only parishes in Suffolk that begin with P and have three syllables are Peasenhall, Pettistree, Pakenham and Poslingford, none of which seem similar. Only Pampisford in Cambridgeshire seems anywhere near similar. Of course, if you changed the P to a similar-sounding B you might just stretch it to Barton - there is a Barton in both counties. It looks as if it might be a transcription error.

Hi Patricia ! I had never heard of a village with this name in the East Anglian region of Britain - I looked on two different very detailed road maps of East Anglia which both have good indexes and there is no sign of it at all; also nothing like it appears in "How to Find Suffolk Towns & Villages" - published by the Suffolk Family History Society in 2000. A useful website for searching for parishes is "Parloc" - the 'Parish Locator' programme which you can find at http://www.parloc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/parlocdl.html I hope that this helps ! Good hunting ! Best Wishes !

Hello List Members, Am new to the list and am looking for any info, or records of the location of Powelltor or Powellton, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire England. Also the Powell families of Robert Powell born 1508, m. Johane Dobson, William Powell, born 1545 Stutney, Cambridgeshire, England m. Jane Jones, John apHowell born 1574, Powelltor, Suffolk England, m. Mrs. apHowell, Thomas Powell born 1600, Powelltor, m. Elizabeth Welles, William Powell, born 1620 in Chickahonniny, Virginia, m. Elizabeth Gorsuch (1st marriage), Elizabeth Lawrence (2nd marriage), & maybe Mary Coghill. Info is so sketchy with the early settlers of Virginia in 1608, and we know a Nathaniel Powell came at this time, and maybe a Captain Powell, with a John Smith, but Nathaniel Powell and his family were killed by the Indians in 1622, and a Thomas Powell, a brother of Nathaniel came to Virginia, to claim his brothers land rights, that another William Powell had claimed rights to, but was found to not being related to the Nathaniel Powell family. We have 11 submitters in the Powell DNA Project, and they are in Haplogroup "T". We are trying to find the beginnings of this family, and are looking for a family connection to the above families mentioned, to a Lewis R. Powell, and his brother Pressly Powell. both born in Virginia somewhere, 1792, and 1787. Am thanking anyone in advance for any records, or info they might be able to help with. Regards, Pat in Southern Indiana

I live in Queensland, Australia with the nearest large town over 120 kms. away and don't have access to the parish record films to look things up myself. That is wonderful. Thank you. By any chance does the marriage record for John and Elizabeth Smee say that he was a widower or am I pushing my luck? Once again I really appreciate your help. Thanks Lyn

This John Jaggard is my 5x gt grand.... I do not think Elizabeth Smee was his second wife as a burial in Wood Ditton gives - 29 June 1795 DEAVE John of Kirtling a married man son of late WILLIAM and Elizabeth late BROWN wid heretofore SMEE 23 Feb 1759 William Deave bac married Elizabeth Browne wid at Stetchworth (botp) they had a son John 20 May 1759 bapt at Stetchworth and a daughter, Ann baptised 18.6.1762 at Wood Ditton. There are previous baptisms for a William Deave & Elizabeth in 1749(Elizabeth), 1752(Dennis(female)) and 1754(William) all Wood Ditton so it gets a bit confusing - Ann may belong to the other pair. Elizabeth Deave (Brown/Smee) was buried 26 Nov 1777 at Stetchworth, wife of William, yeoman and on 3 Apr 1797 William Deave of Tuddenham Suffolk, Yeoman was buried. I think it was Elizabeth Browne nee HUBBARD he married in 28.11.1762 - Elizabeth married William Brown 28.10.1755 in Dullingham and he died July 1759. Elizabeth was the daughter of John Hubbard and Anne Egerton. Hope this helps - or it may not!!!

Hi, Would anyone have access to parish records for West Wratting? I am trying to find if John Jaggard b. 1719 West Wratting married to Mary Prenea/Prewer/Brewer 14 April 1741 and John Jaggard m. Elizabeth Smee 28 November 1762 in Dullingham are one and the same. Perhaps Mary died and John married again. The last child I can find born to John and Mary is Mercy b. 1759. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Lyn

Hi Liane First I must apologise for not coming back sooner. I have been rather busy for last few days and only just got back to family history. Obviously I had done Google searches for him but had never thought of Google Books. I have now done that and there were many hits. Some could be ruled out immediately and one or two related to information that I had already found. This left a considerable number that need further investigation and I shall be doing just that as time permits. Once again many thanks. Regards Norman ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liane Fenimore" <lfenimore@columbus.rr.com> To: <eng-cambridgeshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 26, 2009 3:16 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-CAMS] Cambridge University entry in 1688 There is another source that I forgot last night - have you tried GoogleBooks? I have found a great deal of information on persons who were either public figures, clergyman or who might appear in some sort of official record. For example [though this is a hundred years later], I found several Faulkners who attended St. Paul's School in London, as the school's register is on GoogleBooks. The register also listed the scholarships the boys received to go to university. This was a totally unexpected find as we had no idea they went to that school. This lead also confirmed their father's name. Sometimes it takes some patience to get the right combination when searching but I have had good luck with clergymen or military men. This is purely a guess but if Cambridge did not list a grammar school or other [public]school for him, then perhaps he was tutored privately. Liane
