I am looking for people who are researching JEFFS and BAGBY families. A marriage took place in BRINGTON in 1805 between a couple with these names. Any researchers out there. Thanks. Elaine (nee JEFFS)

Dear Listers, I was wondering if anyone is researching the WOODS family in and around Fletton-Farcet-Holme areas, if so, would love to hear from you. Kind regards, Sue (Tropical North Queensland, Australia)

Hi listers I'm researching my BONHAM family, mostly originating in North Bucks and mostly being butchers by trade. One butchering BONHAM line moved from Shenley, Bucks to St Neots, Hunts between 1861 and 1870. This was Robert BONHAM, his wife Mary Elizabeth Head (nee GUNN, good solid name) and their children Emma Jane, Winifred Mary and Georgina Maria. From 1870 in St Neots, (a lot) more children were born: William Robert, Albert Edward, Frederick Valentine, John Samuel, Walter Percy, Arthur Ernest and Margaret Alice. Robert and wife Mary E H both died in St Neots district (1900 and 1916 respectively) but it looks as though the kids moved off all round the country. In hope it may help someone recognise the family, here is a sample of their marriages: Winifred Mary married local lad Alfred James LINFORD and they went to London (her sister Emma Jane may have married Edwin LINFORD) Georgina Maria married Ernest Percy WEATHERHEAD in St Neots 1895 - they went to Thornbury, Gloucs William Robert married (1) Minnie Eliza KENDALL who died 1900, then (2) Edith Mary Ann WEATHERHEAD in 1902 - they stayed in St Neots, he was, of course, a butcher Arthur Ernest married Ethel Alice BEAVIS in St Neots 1904 Would love to hear from anyone who links to the family or, conceivably, remembers there being a BONHAM butchers in St Neots.

Oops I pressed send before completing the message!! This below is the complete message Does anybody have a full list of the 112 people who were on the 1801 census for Chesterton (as mentioned on the http://www.chesterton.moonfruit.com/ website)? I am researching the WATTS family and have John WATTS as the innkeeper of Cates Cabin in 1841 (Thanks to Margaret Long for that info). I am now trying to find any other WATTS in the village prior to 1841. Just joined the Huntingdonshire FHS last week, so hope to make many contacts. Also coming to Peterborough and the village on 10 February - BBC Family History day. Many thanks Yvonne (born WATTS)

This message concerns the family of Elizabeth Watts who married John Abbess at Fenstanton Parish Church, Huntingdonshire on 3rd. March, 1800. Until recently, our records showed Elizabeth's parents as being Thomas Watts and Mary (nee Farrington (sic)) and showed that they were probably married around 1771. However, no information was available as to where their marriage might have taken place. During a recent search in the IGI (on-line) we discovered that Thomas Watts married Mary Farringdon (sic) at Lolworth Parish Church, Cambridgeshire on 23rd. September, 1771. Lolworth is relatively close to Fenstanton (the parish in which Elizabeth was born and baptised in 1776) and is just across the Huntingdon/Cambridgeshire border. A search was then made in the IGI for the possible baptism of Mary Farringdon/Farrington somewhere in the same locality prior to c. 1756. This is what we found:- Baptism - Longstowe, Cambridgeshire 10th. December, 1749: Mary Farringdon(sic) daughter of Robert and Ruth Farringdon Baptism - Great Gransden, Huntingdonshire 12th. April, 1752: Mary Farrington(sic) daughter of Thomas and Mary Farrington Longstowe and Great Gransden, although in different counties, are neighbouring parishes, and both are about equidistant from Lolworth. For the time being, we shall have to keep an open mind as to which of these (if either) is likely to be our Mary. Clearly further research is needed, but it would be very helpful to know if any other member of the group has previously researched this family - and with what result. Ann

Hi list, quick visit. The above site ,basically Derbyshire based, contains an increasing number of folks from outside the County who were conneceted with it in some form or other. Yesterdays contains names of individuals and families wh o are mentioned in Bastardy,Removals ,Settlement Examinations and Certificates as well as other records. Take a look at this regularly up dated site ,you never know,your ancestor may be there ,waiting to be found! mike http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm

HI All, If anyone has access to the marriage records for 1846 of St Mary`s parish Church, Eynesbury could they possibly check the marriage of WILLIAM MATLEY and SOPHIA PARKINS on 10 Aug 1846. I`m hoping that the fathers names would be shown as WILLIAM is one of my brick walls I need to break down. Many thanks for any help. Cheers Audrey a.may@ozemail.com.au

Sue Thank you very much for such a prompt reply. You have given me exactly what I was looking for. Unusually, I notice that there are no parish, or any other address / location details on the William & Mary page. Are there any clues regarding where they were living?

Hello I'm new to this list. I am hoping SKS with access to the 1861 census will be able to help me track down my Great Great Grandparents William & Mary Scott. The family were living near Holme, Huntingdonshire (Nr. Peterborough). At least that is where their children George Thomas (1857), Allen Thornton (1859) and Mary Elizabeth (1863) are listed as being born. They did have other children before and after that date. In particular I would like to trace my Great Grandfather Arthur Griffin SCOTT, who was 15 at that time so I don't know if he was still living with his parents. Arthur was born 1st Feb 1846 in Askern, Doncaster. Any help would be most appreciated. Douglas
