I am descended from Charles Cecil and Judith Raby too and I thought for a long time that Charles Cecil and Elizabeth Lumley were Charles' parents mainly because Charles indentures show him as having been born in the parish of St. John the Evangelist Westminster. Further research has revealed that the Charles Cecil married to Elizabeth Lumley was an Anglican cleric DD at Christ Church Oxford - one of the chaplains ordinary to the king and Rector of Hatfield. Then in Feb. 1732 he was consecrated Bishop of Bristol and transferred to be Bishop of Bangor in 1734. He died in 1737. That being so I think we can safely rule out the connection as the indentures would surely have referred to Charles as Rector of Hatfield or given him the title Rev. but there are still a lot of trees around connecting these 2 families.
If you put up Charles Cecil & Judith Raby on Google search it will take you to Judith's profile on Wikitree, if you then click on Charles you will be able to view the image of his indentures with his fathers name.
I still don't know who 'my' Charles Cecil's father was, only that his name was also Charles Cecil!
Can anyone add to this?
