Has anyone done any research into the Great Gransden Baptists registers or has access to them ? ,. My forebears were early dissenters mostly in Gamlingay Cambs . but have lost their track late 1600's early 1700's but know that a marriage occurred in Little Gransden and was hoping that someone could reconnect me with my direct line of Wil(l)sons . Anyway Hello to this list from Mick Wilson .

Hi listers, I'm just wondering if some kind person out there with access to the parish records of Sawtry, Huntindonshire would be willing to do a look-up for me. I'm looking for a baptism for David Hughes b. about 1829 @ Sawtry, Hunts. Parents were William Hughes & Ann Partridge. Thankyou. Andrew Hetherington Sebastopol, Victoria, Australia

I have the following marriages in my tree which all took place at Haddon, Hunts bar the last one. James MADDISON to Sarah CHAPMAN 3rd Ap 1836 George ROWELL aged 46 to Sarah MADDISON aged 43 on 6th Nov 1883. Husband previously married. Father Robert ROWELL Joseph SIBLEY to Mary Chapman Maddison on 20th May 1873 Father Daniel SIBLEY John William HITCHCOCK to Emma Naomi MADDISON on 11th Feb 1875 at St Marys Huntingdon. Husband's father Joseph Hitchcock. Do these connect with anyone? Yours, Elaine

Hi Andrew, Before the Mormons are allowed to film PRs, each incumbent of every parish has the right to veto the matter and historically this was exercised frequently in our neck of the woods. This was more to do with the religious objection to the Mormons acquiring n million devotees, dead or alive, than as a deliberate act to make the lives of subsequent genealogist a misery! These days some ministers have a slightly more relaxed view but still retain these rights, and the Hunts RO will permit access for filming but only when the owners of the PRs (the Church) give a formal release. (This is a simplistic overview because there are many issues which govern ownership vs. curatorship.) As Janet says, most of the Huntingdonshire IGI has been submitted by individuals and at best can only be considered as secondary source, but often an _extremely_ welcome device to point one in the right direction. Always remember that "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"!

Thanks to all the people who answered my query regarding the lack of Hunts. baptisms & marriages on the IGI. Since there in only 15% of the county on the IGI does anyone know how I could find a baptism in Sawtry, Hunts? I live in Australia and I don't know what resources are available here. Andrew Hetherington Sebastopol, Victoria, Australia

Andrew, I recommend that you head for your nearest LDS Family History Centre and order the film for Sawtry - you may end up with far more than you're looking for, as I did when checking out Farcet families :-) Good Luck! Linda Clapp Tatura, Victoria, Australia

To Andrew, The IGI does not have many records for Hunts because the Hunts record office did not allow the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to film the records. Most of the Hunts entries will have been submitted by individuals. Janet

Hi, Does anyone know why there's not much on the IGI for Hunts. and are there any plans to complete it? I'd just like to know why I can't find my ancestors when I try to look them up! FRUSTRATED (Andrew) Sebastopol, Victoria, Australia

Andrew, The IGI is only a partial compiled list of references in essence. Like most other rsearch you should head towards the root sources rather than a reference. As an addendum to the IGI the LDS published a CD entitled British Vital Resources which compliments the information in the IGI and has a fair number of entries for HUnts but is by no means complete. Take a look at the resources available from Hunts FHS. That may help you.

Hello List, I have noticed other requests for Sawtry Look-ups and wondered if there is someone with a copy of the PRs who could please do one for me? My gtgrandmother was Sarah BATTISON born abt 1801 (married William BARNES from Huntingdon in 1824) I would be most grateful for her baptism and parents. I also have the marriages of an Elizabeth BATTISON to Isaac WHEATLY 1815 and Letitia BATTERSON and James FELCH 1817 and would like to know if they were related to Sarah? This is the period before fathers' names were given. Otherwise if the PRs are available for sale I would be happy to purchase a copy and do the look ups myself. Can anyone help or advise me? Thanks, Judy in Gloucestershire Researching BARNES in Huntingdon, Carpenters and Shoemakers in the High Street during 19C.

Hello Listers, I have just joined this list in the hope of finding somebody researching my GRAY family. Until recently I had thought that they originated in either Tempsford or Eaton Socon. However,it now seems this is not the case, and I am turning my attention to Buckden. I have found a John GRAY, age 57, living with his son William's family in Eaton Socon. John, born in Buckden, married a Sarah BARLEY, and settled in Eaton Socon. I think that John may have been the elder brother of my ancestor, Edward GRAY. I haven't managed to find Edward's baptism, but he married a Sarah SMITH in Eaton Socon, had a couple of children, moved to Shoreditch, and eventually died in Barts hospital in 1843. His widow Sarah returned to Eaton Socon with the family. After 25 years away I have wondered why, and I think the link is JOHN GRAY, as the first 4 children born to John and his wife, have the same christian names as the first 4 of Edward's children. My father told me his family came from St Neots, and having rung Huntingdon record office today, I am told it is very close to Buckden. I have been trying to find Edward for over 10 years, and perhaps seeing the above, you will realise I am getting desperate ! Thank you for taking the trouble to read my potted history. Yours in hope.........Wendi Lynch.......Ramsgate..Kent.

Hi all, I am a new member and thought I'd pop in and introduce myself and my Huntingdon connections. I have a Margaret Allen who was born 1864 in Huntingdon to George Allen and Maria nee Baker. Margaret was born Connington and had siblings named Mary, George, William, John, Edith and Rosa. George (father) was the son of William Allen and Martha nee Hill. He was born 1829 and had siblings Thomas, William, Jeremiah, John and Mary. There is quite a story about the Margaret above as she married a William Allis in 1884 in Lincoln and had three children to him before leaving him and travelling to Australia with another man and having a family out here with him. All very interesting and I certainly wish I could have a talk to her and find out her reasons for doing so!
