Brenda, Maybe you have already added these names to the My Surname Interets the link to which is at the bottom of this web page... if you haven't that is a good way to go as it stays there until you remove it.
Just a suggestion.

I hadn't noticed that link Charlotte, thanks for pointing it out. :) I'll hop on over at lunchtime (US lunchtime that is!) and add my names to the list.

Brenda,
It's a long term investment but worthwhile and while you're looking at it you may just find another Rcer who's looking for some of your lot... optimistic me.. ;D
Good luck.

Hello just joined Rootschat, Maybe I can be of some use I am researching the Swaffham Bulbeck Levitt family
Keith

Hello Keith
I think half of my husbands family came from Swaffham Bulbeck! I'm probably going to have to get the Parish Records on cd from the Cambridgeshire FHS, it's going to be very helpful.
Mt first Livett in the village is John, bn 1797 d1879, he married Elizabeth Skeel and they had 9 children, I've traced some marriages etc for his children but he's my starting point. You can also send me a message or an email if you'd like to swap info, or just reply here.
Regards,
Brenda

Have Emma and Hephzibah Hancock at Bottisham/Lode in the 1830s. Next village to yours I believe. Any use to you?
-
Hello Redroger
My main Hancock line is an Elizabeth Hancock, bn in 1797 in Swaffham Bulbeck. I have her parents listed as Benjamin Hancock and Hannh Adams, I don't know yet if they had any other children or if they were from SB or elsewhere, but I'm just about to order the PR for the village as I have a lot of people to track down in this area, and that may tell me a different story to what I believe! I have a number of families from the area (SB, Bottisham, Horningsea, Lode and Stow cum Quy) who seem to move between these local villages every couple of generations, so I'm hoping the PR will help out.
Have you come across a Benjamin Hancock at all in your research?
Regards,
Brenda
-
Hi Brenda
Benjamin Hancock and Martha Adams are on my direct ancestors as well, One of their daughters Martha b 1796 in Swaffham Bulbeck. Martha then married John Fordham of Stow-cum Quy.

Hello Ben
Just how many ways are you related to my husband???!! ;) Is your Benjamin Hancock in your Golding or Noble tree that you sent me, or is this another, separate line?
Brenda
-
Hi Brenda, Welcome to the House of Fun! which is the extended family tree of the inhabitants of Bot/Lode, Swaffham B etc. etc. The only Hancock's that I have found so far are the two I mentioned yesterday, no Benjamin, but keep in touch, we are ovbiously looking at the same extended families. By the way, I am not sure about the number of generations I have in the link, as one of my mother's sets of 3great grandparents, were also a set of her 4 great grandparents!
-
Brenda, Have just remembered I also have 2 Goldings, Mary Ann b 1875, probably Bottisham, and Rice b 1897 Bottisham. Any use to you?

Brenda
I'm sure there are plenty of other ways I am related to your husband as I have Butlers as well! This is on the Golding side of the family. Martha Hancocks granddaughter was Sarah Fordham,b 1844 in Quy, married Alfred Golding. Alfred and Sarah Golding are my GGG Grandparents and they are on the list of Goldings I sent you. How is your husband related to the Hancocks?
Regards
Ben
-
Hello Roger
Yes it's certainly fun, looks like the entire villages were related in some way. I saw your earlier posts re Rice Golding from Bottisham but they're not on my tree.... yet! They might be on Ben's though.... if you do turn out to be related to my husband then you're probably also related to Ben too!
I didn't see a link in any of your posts about the Hancocks? Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.
Brenda

Hello Ben
My husband has a direct link to the Hancocks. Elizabeth Hancock, bn c1797, to Benjamin in SB married John Howard in SB on 3 Dec 1818. John became the publican of The Royal Oak in SB, now a private house. The Howards then married into the Livetts, the Livetts then married into the Butlers all in SB. I think the Butlers were originally from Bottisham by way of Horningsea.

Reason Brenda, I have concentrated on the two main family lines so far as I am concerned, Ayres and Cornwell, when I started out, shortly after my mother had died aged 99, with no living relatives who knew more than I did about the family I decided to concentrate on these two family names, little realising that the entire village (and area!) seemed to be self related. I saw a tree a few years ago of a similar situation in Lincolnshire, my father's family had only lived in the county 50 years, and not in the village concerned, yet we appeared on two of the lins researched!This though seems more complicated than the Lincolnshire one.

Hi Brenda
You will find these on your tree , Mary Ann Golding is the the daughter of Alfred Golding and Sarah Fordham, and descended from Benjamin Hancock and Martha Adams. Alice was her daughter. You will find Mary Ann in the Golding file I sent you.

Hello Brenda,
I know that through a Shipp Tree that I have access to that Avis Hancock b 1847 in Swaffham Bulbeck married Isaac Peachy 11th November 1869 and that Isaac's father was David Peachy and that Avis's sister Flower Hancock b 1845 in Swaffham Bulbeck married Thomas Butler 3rd December 1868.
Flower and Thomas had the following Children Amelia b 1870 Swaffham Bulbeck died 1895, Benjamin b 1871, Alfred b 1873, and Flora b 1874.
The tree also has some Muggleton's from Stow Cum Quy in it.

Hi Brenda,Thanks for that info, it seems to confirm what I already had. I am a John's GG Grandson. I think Johns father was James Levit bn Abt 1758 cant find a death for him yet, he I believe was married to an Elizabeth Fabb (1751-1824) so they were my GGG Grandparents. It looks like his father (my GGGG Grandfather) was another James Levit cant find any dates for him yet though and he was married to Frances Root(e) I think they married in 1750 in SB.
I dont know if any of this is of use to you at all.
I have a copy of the Parish Records on CD if I can be of any help in your search.
Regards

I have an Avis Shipp in my Ayres/Cornwell tree, also some Hancocks; the principal village being Bottisham/Lode

Hi Redroger,
There are several Avis Shipp's in the tree starting with,
1, Avis Shipp b 1787 Bottisham Lode she was married to a William Warren.
2, Avis Shipp b 1821 Bottisham died 1838.
3, Avis Shipp b 1831 Bottisham she was married to a Job Benstead.
4, Avis Shipp b1834 Bottisham Lode she was married to a William Cornwell, which is your line.
5, Avis Shipp b 1853 Dapto NSW Australia she was married to a George King.
6, Avis Shipp b 1876 Bottisham Lode
According to the tree Job Benstead who married Avis Shipp born in 1831 was a brother of Maria Benstead who was the mother of Avis Shipp b 1834.
Also Avis Shipp b 1831 her eldest sister Mary b 1817 was married to a Benjamin Hancock.

Hi Brenda,
I forgot to ask you which Bowers line in Cambridgeshire are you connected with as my great grandmother was a Bowers by birth.
Regards
Lyne
-
CharlotteCH, Where are your Burton's located? Mine are in Lincolnshire, Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire, definitely; I suspect links to those in Notts, but have not yet attempted to prove these.
-
Hello All, sorry I haven't been around much lately.
Keith: Thanks for the extra info on the Levitts and the Hancock siblings, I only knew about Elizabeth and her parents from a contact on Ancestry who left a note on my tree! I may take you up in the offer of help from the cd as I've been so busy I haven't had chance to order mine from CFHS yet, I won't burden you though!
Lyne: Although I have Hancocks, Peachys and Butlers on my husbands tree I don't have the names you mention.... but as RedRoger pointed out when I started this thread, they've all turned out to be related to each other through inter-marriage, so I'm sure it will be just a question of putting a few pieces together.
I only have one Bowers so far, but it's a direct relation. I have a Sarah Bowers who married William Howard in Stow cum Quy on 18 June 1797, but I don't have any birth/death dates for either of them and just have their birth places listed as Cambridgeshire so far.
Brenda
-
I thought it would be just a question of putting a few pieces together Brenda, that was nearly 12 years ago! I'm still putting them together.
-
Hi Brenda,
There are two lines of Bowers families in Cambridgeshire as of yet I havent found a link between the two.
Some of my line lived in Histon and Landbeach, the other Bowers line lived around Horseheath.

Hi Brenda,
I have links with Muncey family in Cambridgeshire wondering if it is the same family you are researching
T

Looking at reply No.21 again, I had missed at least one possible connection; my great aunt Elizabeth Ayres b1887 married a John Benstead, so that is anotherprobable twist in the spiral.
-
Hi Brenda,
I have links with Muncey family in Cambridgeshire wondering if it is the same family you are researching
T
Hello T
Sorry I didn't see this sooner. My Muncey/Munsey family are from Stow cum Quy. I have:
Benjamin Munsey c1740 married Mary Muggleton and had 4 daughters, Mercy 1764, Susan 1767, Mary 1770 and Sarah 1773. Sarah married John Golding in SQC, not sure about the other daughters.
Regards,
Brenda

Hi Brenda,
Not the same then mine were from the other side of Cambridge.
-
Swaffham Bulbeck - Butler, Livett/Levitt, Howard, Hancock, Skeel, Weatherall
Anyone else researching the same names?
Brenda
Sorry I'm late - but yes!
Skeel and Levitt for me... I would ~guess~ that your line is:
Gen 1. Job and Elizabeth Skeels
Gen 2. Elizabeth Skeels -m- John Levitt/Livett
Gen 3. John Levitt -m- Sophia Howard
I'm not a descendant of John and Sophia, but of John's oldest sibling, Emma Levitt who married Charles Newman of.. yes you've guessed it, Swaffham Bulbeck.
A little more at my site: http://www.familytreeuk.co.uk/skeels and http://www.familytreeuk.co.uk/levitt

Emma Hancock married Charles Cornwell at Bottisham 30 October 1857. No further info about her.
Hephzibah Hancock married William Harvery at Bottisham 8 December 1854. No further info about her either.
-
Hello Andrew
Correct guess on my husbands line, he is descended from John Levitt and Sophia Howard. I have quite an extensive tree on Genes Reunited if you're a member there. I had a quick look at your website. I have quite a bit more Levitt, Skeel (but not before Job sadly) and Richardson lines.
Regards,
Brenda
-
Hi Roger
Thanks for the extra info. I've got the Bottisham PR's on order, should be here soon.
Regards,
Brenda
-
Wait the outcome with interest Brenda.
-
I had a good look over my tree at lunch Roger and the only Emma Hancock I have was born in 1851 and so couldn't have married in 1857. The closest I can get to Hephzibah is a Hezekiah who was male, so I don't think she's mine either, at least not a direct Hancock at any rate, probably still mine though. Be interested to see what else the Bottisham records show when they get here.
Cheers
Brenda
-
Brenda, my major interests in the Cambridgeshire area are the surnames Ayres and Cornwell, you will find once you get the Bottisham records that the degreee of intermarriage between these families and including Hancock, Hart and Harvey and many others is quite staggering. Virtually the whole village is related to itself, my research has shown that as a result of this situation I am my own 4th cousin. No doubt you will find many similar interconnections.

Hello I have a Caroline Palmer married to a jeremiah Parr and a Margaret Palmer married to a William Parr. Caroline was married in 1862 in the Newmarket District and Margaret was married 1752 in Burwell. An Emily Watts who married a James Butler in 1871 at Bottisham. A Priscilla Levitt who married in 1857 in the Newmarket district. Ann Parr born 1800 at Exning is my 4 x Great Grand Mother. Please contact me if you are interested in these people
Sheila

Hello Sheila
We do have some of the same people in our trees. Margaret Palmer and William Parr and direct ancestors of my husband, their dau Ann married Edward Petchey (Peachey). I don't have a Caroline Palmer yet, but I haven't traced all the Palmer line forward as there are so many of them it becomes a bit complicated and I don't want to end up just guessing!
Don't have the James Butler from Bottisham, but he could be related. Priscilla Levitt married Henry Mansfield and I have four children from them. She's the dau of James Livett, my husbands line goes through James' younger brother John.
Regards,
Brenda

Hello Brenda, Jane Mansfield daughter of James and Emma married William Reynolds (my single name) in 1879 at Newmarket district cambs. They had one daughter Maud Florence Reynolds. Caroline Palmer married another Jeremiah Parr in 1862. He was the son of William Parr and Jane Sargeant.
-
Hello Sheila
Do you happen to know who the other children of James Mansfield and Emma Peachey were? I've only got Jane (1858), Saul (1864) and Watson (1865).
Thanks
Brenda
-
Yes I have a few more children. Edward John Mansfield 1847 (his parents were married in 1850) wondered if James could have been married before)
1850, James Lauleus Mansfield 1851, Luke 1853, Jane 1858, Saul 1864 and Watson 1865.
On the 1861 census there is an Edward Peachy born abt 1850 son in law. This is a little confusing.

Sorry its James Zaccheus Mansfield
