Greetings from down under Any suggestions how I should approach this dilemma? According to the 1851 census (Milton CAM), my Robert THURLEY was born c1802 at Conington, CAM (?). I purposely included a ? beside CAM because I am seriously wondering if Conington, CAM is correct. After much searching I have been unsuccessful in finding a baptism record for Robert THURLEY in CAM for that time period give or take a year or so. He married Mary WOODS at Milton CAM 11 Oct 1829 and was buried Milton CAM 6 Jan 1875. Their children were known as both THURLEY and later as THURLOW. In trying to find Robert a set of parents, I have only managed to find one family at Conington CAM viz John THURLEY (bc1772, bap Swavesey CAM); m Conington 11 Oct 1796; bur Conington CAM 30 Apr 1835. His wife was Ann WARD, b c1775 Conington CAM; bur Conington CAM 1825. All their children were bap at Conington between 1797 and 1817 but there is no mention of a Robert bc1802. In fact there is a gap with no children between James (1801) and Charles (1807) which seems strange. My wife and I leave Australia on Friday, 5 October and will be visiting Cambridge County Record Office and maybe Huntingdon (if that's necessary) sometime between 18 and 24 October specifically to research this matter. Is it possible that Robert THURLEY could have been baptised elsewhere? Maybe some nearby town in HUN such as Swavesey, St Ives, Hilton, Yelling? All assistance very welcome and any suggestions to guide us on our way. ,-"'~ #% ,, Raymond J.
