Thank you John for the information on where to find the wills. I'm new to the list and new to researching in England, What other kinds of records were kept between 1500 and 1700 that might be of some help researching my STUBBLEFIELD family here. Are there any kind of land records or tax records for this time period. I have found the Family History online database and they were very helpful with some birth, mariage and burial records. Thanks again for all your help Deb

Hi im new to the cambridge bit. My main interest is Berkshire, and people down that way help me, by looking up things. So i thought i would offer my time to anyone needing things checked out, ie finding grave stones in Cambridge uk. Seeing as i live in Cambridge and I need the exercise and an excuse for a walk, i thought i would offer. But not too many at once though i'm still weaning myself off the car !

Hello Cath, Thank you for your kind offer on Rootsweb. I wonder if you could help me if you get time? This is my "Brick wall" My paternal Grandmother had a cousin but I cant find out which relatives he was related through. If I could find out his mothers maiden name, that might give me a clue. He was born before the BMD records were started and didn't have any children which makes it worse. Also, I have a marriage cert for him but her name is completely different from his wife's name on their gravestone in Old Humberstone Churchyard. I cant find any record of him becoming a widower and marrying again. His name is Elliot John Norman Galer, according to census he was born in Cambridge but I don't know the Parish. I cant find him on the CFHS. Although I have found info on the internet and in his Will, I have had no luck in finding out who they were related through. According to the IGI,he was Christened on 24 AUG 1823 in Toft, Cambridge. I cant find him on census 1841 to1861. He turns up in Leicester in 1871. He married Mary Ann HODSON nee BASSETT in London 1858. They were both actors and opera singers and his wife''s stage name was Fanny REEVES and her name on their gravestone (in Humberstone, Leicestershire) is Annie Reeves Galer. They did not have children which makes them more difficult to trace. Elliott''s father was George Galer, a farmer according to his marriage cert, and I think he had a sister Anne who is somehow related to the MALLANDAINES. Somehow Elliot is related to the WADSWORTH and/or ODAMS families of Cambridge/Huntingdonshire Sorry if this is a bit garbled but I thought it might help to put down all I know.
