Hi I'm new to this so please be patient with me.
I'm interested in the Surmame of QUINCE mainly from Benwick, Doddington, and March. Also GUTTERIDGE family from Whittlesey.
Any info gratefully recieved

Welcome Nannie
You might like to look at the LDS website which has extracts of some Parishes ...
try searching it with Hugh Wallis useful 'front-end', which allows you to go via County to the places in question.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/
You'll see pre (and some post) 1837 baptisms and marriages there.
You can then look at the Census from 1841 onward - ask for a lookup ...
Hope this helps, N

Hi NannieK and welcome to rootschat.
There are Cambridgeshire baptism records on http://www.cfhs.org.uk/BaptismIndex/index.html and all sorts of other Cambridgeshire indexes that may help.

Thanks for the welcome and quick replies, will follow-up your links. Do have some sketchy info already. If anyone else has a link to these families I would love to hear from you.

I have recently found a Quince link in my family tree - Rebecca Quince b 19 Feb 1743,March Cambs daughter of Henry & Elizabeth Quince (details not known) - does this link in with any of your Quince family?

Hi Smadgett
Could well be, all my research points to this part of the country but I've only got as far back as John b? married in 1768 to Elizabeth Freeman. If you happen to come across this information in your travels, please keep me informed it would be very much appriciated.
Happy Hunting.

Hi NannieK,
Thanks for your reply. Alas, that is where my connection with the Quince name starts so I have no further info but will keep an eye out for those names and let you know if I find anything more.
Interestingly though, I also have a Freeman in my tree - Sarah Freeman b 1803/4 Houghton d 1891 March Cambs married John Setchfield b 1802 Wimblington Cambs d 1891 March Cambs. Bit of a long shot but do you know much/any about the Freeman name in this area as I haven't been able to find out anything more.
Thanks!

Haven't looked into the Freeman side yet but if I do unearth anything of interest will certainly pass info on to you.
