Title: of the College in Ely
Post by: Grumpyoldgit on Wednesday 17 February 10 21:37 GMT (UK)
I am researching the Few family in Ely and you have kindly given me information regarding the baptism of James Few at Ely St Mary on 13/10/1821 to William, a servant, and Sarah.

I was not getting any of this information from Ancestry where I have a subscription but took advice that CFHS has been providing Findmypast with data and signed up on pay-as-you-go basis.

My first search has come up with the marriage of William Few and Sarah Wells on 27/7/1818 at Ely, Holy Trinity. The residence for both of them is stated as being "of the College in Ely".
I am not sure what institution this would refer to. Any ideas?

I think that one of the buildings off Barton Square -now part of Kings School-used to be a theological college. Perhaps they worked there.
