Hi Liane Many thanks for your reply. I had already looked at this source but it does not give any additional information. Even the university archive does not have anything to help, hence my query regarding criteria for entrance to Cambridge University in 1688 in the hope that it may show where to start looking for him.

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

Hello all. I am trying to find out if there is anywhere I can find the first names of soldiers who were killed in WW1 from Ely. I have visted the memorial a few weeks back but it only shows initials. My LEE family certainly had 1 who died and that was William Lee from Silver Street. son of William and Caroline. There were 2 other sons who may have served and those initials are there. They were Thomas Richard and Bertram Lee. I have looked on the war graves site and found William there. Any help appreciated. Thankyou. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Messenger: Happy 10-Year Anniversary—get free winks and emoticons. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/157562755/direct/01/

I have an ancestor who entered King's College, Cambridge in 1688. After graduation he entered the church and eventually became a vicar in Shropshire. I have found information regarding his time at university and after but absolutely nothing before. Can anyone suggest what the criteria to enter university would have been in those days. Any help would be most welcome. Norman

Hi all I'm researching my gg grandfather William Henry BROWN, who was baptised at Forham on 3-Aug-1800. William is proving to be a very interesting character and I've just uncovered a record that shows he was a convict who was sent to VDL in 1844. On the convict indent there is a notation that he was a constable at Fordham for 6 years and that for two years he lived with Squire Tharp. Does anyone know if there would be records covering local constables? Also, I understand the Tharp family were somewhat famous/notorious and wondered if anyone has come across them in their research? Regards Pete

Hello all, from cold, wet and windy New Zealand. I'm hoping that SKS with access to Parish records, could look up the baptism of Thomas Marsh, baptised Downing Street Independent Church Cambridge on 25 November 1793, along with his sister, Mary, who I think may have been his twin. Parents were John and Mary and any further information re this family would be much appreciated. Thanks for any help. Joy.

HELLO EVERYONE. I am making a short visit to Ely on July 5th for a few days and wondered if there are any descendants of a William & Caroline Lee who lived in Walpole Lane/Silver Street from 1877 to 1911, still in the area. Caroline was my grandfather's eldest sister and was also Lee before marriagre. William and Caroline (CAro) HAD 8 CHILDREN ACCORDING TO 1911 CENSUS. wILLIAM jOHN B 1877, bERTRAM 1880/1, aGNES, wILLIAM 1887, cHARLOTTE 1891. tHOMAS rICHARD 1893 , MADGE 1895/6. I know that William b 1887 was killed in WW1 and is on Ely memorial. Its possible that Thomas died as well but not confirmed. Their father William was a gardener by trade and Bertram a printer. Why 2 sons were called William I do not know. If anyone has info on this family I would be pleased to hear from them. I have made enquiries in other places without success. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Thankyou. _________________________________________________________________ Get the best of MSN on your mobile http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/147991039/direct/01/

So very sorry. My house (and comp) burnt to the ground, also lost paper files, 3 dogs and 2 cats, no people. Will never post here again, with the exception of a lady, and Nivard Ovington, who were quite helpful, as well as polite, (unlike some un-named "gentleman") I found David to be quite rude. So very sorry to have inconvienced you, David. I was under the impression that Englishmen (ladies) were polite and us Americans were the rude ones. Apparently, you shouldn't believe that everything you hear as true.

Hi, I'm new to this list but have been a member of the Bristol list for years, and sometimes pop into the Gloucester one! I wonder if there is anyone reading this who has researched the MURCUTT / MURCOTT families in Cambridgeshire in the 1700's? Or perhaps you know someone of this name currently living in Cambs who might have some interest in their family history? I'd like to hear from either! I have a family by the name MURCUTT living in Gloucester city during the 1700s. William Murcutt (d. 1787), his wife Sarah (nee Jefferis. d. 1802), his sisters Ann (d 1775) and Mary (died 1790). Both Ann and Mary appear to have been spinsters. As they seem to be the only MURCUTT family group in Gloucester at that time I would like to find out where they came from and the most likely places are Bethnal Green-London, Warwickshire or Cambridgeshire. Any help much appreciated. Amanda Kerby Christchurch NZ

Carol, I'm surprised at the answer you got from the Crematorium - I visited their office about 18 months ago and was able to look at the Histon road burial registers. It seems unlikely that they have been moved since and I suggest you contact them again and ask them to re-check what they have. Hope this helps.

Hello I am trying to locate the burial records of the above cemetery which is now a closed one. I have been given an email contact (Friends of Histon rd cemetery) but as yet had no reply. My query is - has anyone else on the list had access to these burial records? The Cambridge Council site guides you to the Cambridge Crematorium for the records but they, in turn, have pointed me to the Friends of...Histon Rd. It seems to have been a privately run cemetery and not a munincipal one. Any help or suggestions? Regards Carol Adams

I actually have to apologise for giving incorrect information as I misread my guide. The Archdeaconry of Sudbury covers West Suffolk only and the records are at Bury St Edmunds office; East Suffolk was served by the Archdeaconry of Suffolk with records at Ipswich. So you will need to contact the Bury St Edmunds Records Office and all the necessary details are available on the Suffolk Records Office website. John B Leic., Eng
