Hi Kathy, I believe that would be Female Labourer, which you'd see a lot in a farming area.

Hi, Researching the Allen family of Huntingdon. Margaret Allen was born 1864 at Huntingdon the daughter of George Allen and Maria nee Baker. She married (1) to William Allis and (2) James Butler in Victoria, Australia. Her father was George Allen born c1829 Conington and died 1916. He married Maria nee Baker in 1856 at Huntingdon. Children were: Mary c1859 George 1860 Elizabeth 1862 Elizabeth 1863 Margaret - above William 1865 Elizabeth 1866 John 1868 Edith 1869 Rosa 1871 Thomas 1872 He was the son of William Allen born c1791 and Martha nee Hill born c1798. Children I have listed for them to date are: Thomas born 1827 George above William born 1832 Jeremiah born 1835 John born 1837 Mary born 1840 Would love to make contact with other Allen researchers who link in with this family as they have been very elusive to date.

Sorry - Jane Allen Turgoose was born in 1799, not 1899. jill <original post> I have the surname ALLEN appear in my Turgoose family from a few years earlier. Jane Allen Turgoose born Dec 1899 to William Turgoose and Ann //? in Holywell cum Needingworth. No idea where ALLEN comes from, as I have yet to find mother Ann's maiden name. She was already been a widow (surname HORNE) when she married William, which makes the sleuthing more difficult. Sorry I don't have more. Jill Vancouver Canada

Hi all My 8xGPs Thomas Breez and Bridgitt White marriedin the church of St Thomas of Canterbury, Ramsey, 30th October 1677. I've been unable to track their births or baptisms and I suspect it was during that period when records were not kept.(the actual years escape me but I think it was up to about 1655). Was it just a failure of the records or were baptisms not performed. Is it possible to find out this information. Luckily there were Breez baptsms recorded shortly after the restoration so I think i have the parents but it would be good to get the actual dates etc. regards Ted Interests in Ramsey during 1600's and 1700's Ellington, Breez, White Hun(n)s, Read, Rawlins and Potting

Hi there, I am researching the 'Seekings' Family,or name variant, and have now hit a brick wall with Joseph Seekings who would have been born circa 1760. Although Joseph was married in Stretham, Cambridgeshire, I have been unable to locate details of his Baptism there. I have been informed that there were Seekings families living in Hartford, Warboys and Woodhurst in the 1700's. Can anyone please offer any assistance with this family. Unfortunately I will be unable to visit the Hunts Record Office this year. Thank you all for your wonderful work Derek Reay

Thanks to those who did reply to my original message about my great grandaunt, Ann HUNT (nee PAYNE), and her family (William, Annie, Alice/Ada, John, Ellen, Florence, Millicent, and Charles E). She married John HUNT and they lived in Great Catworth, HUN > Kessingland, SFK > Tilbrook, BDF. Ellen married Henry John HELLETT and they lived in Kimbolton, CAM.

We would like to sincerely thank Judy (in NZ), Paula Patterson and David (in France), for all their help with our Mary Elizabeth PHILLIPS' family, plus other PHILLIPS' in Yaxely. Each has been a tremendous help to us. Hopefully, the dozen or so 1, 2 & 3 x great-grandchildren who are working on the family tree, will be able to successfully sort out those who were in Yaxley in 1841 and confirm those who belong to us. All descendants of Edward Bauld STONE (aka Edward BALLS) born 1823 Norwich, Norfolk and Mary Elizabeth PHILLIPS are encouraged (and welcome) to join our group. Warmest regards, Toni ~ Ontario

Hi Listers It's that time again where I remind everyone about the Huntingdonshire Look-up Exchange. For anyone who doesn't know what it's all about, it is an ever-growing list of volunteers who have resources in their possession and who are willing to do "look-ups". Why not take a look? Please take time to read the instructions if this is your first visit - You will find the Hunts Lookup page at: http://members.tripod.com/AztecRose/huntingdon/hun.html I'm always on the look-out for more volunteers to undertake look-ups for fellow researchers in any area such as; tax lists, electoral rolls, directories, census indexes, indexed parish registers etc., etc., and if you are willing to add your name to this list, then please email me, at gagudju@ozemail.com.au your contribution will be gratefully accepted. I would like to thank all volunteers who are listed for their continued support.

Hello Norman, Ann, David & Tracy Thanks to you all for your responses to my query. Silly old duffers like me need all the help we can get. I am clearer now about my geography and Registration Districts. If the only place I can find the info I need is at the Huntingdon Record Office it may be sometime before I get it. It is a long way to travel as I live in the north of Scotland and the only way I go south is to fly from Inverness to Heathrow, and that very rarely, so Huntingdon is never on my route. Mary Ann BARNETT is a recent connection and will have to go on a back burner for a while. Still plenty to get on with though. Once again my sincere thanks Cheersthanoo Raymond
