Hi Liz & Mary, I can't tell you about the addresses in Cambridge that you require, but We use the Cambs CRO regularly and can tell you that they have a wealth of material including old Maps, a good source for Photo's is the Cambridgeshire Collection in the Central Library Lion Yard Cambridge, again a wealth of information, the Staff at both places are excellent and very helpfull. Sorry not to have info on your addresses but I hope you enjoy your stay in Cambridge. Best Wishes, Julie & Tim Webb, Soham Roots. >From: "Liz Kirk" <eakirk@tiscali.co.uk> >Reply-To: ENG-CAMBRIDGESHIRE-L@rootsweb.com >To: ENG-CAMBRIDGESHIRE-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [ENG-CAMB] Reasearch in Cambridge >Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 18:11:53 +0100 > >Hello all, >Have just resubscribed to this list, after a break of around two years.
