England / Re: The Mystery associated with Lancelot (Capability) Brown
« on: Thursday 02 October 08 08:28 BST (UK)  »
Just to let all persons interested in Capability Brown that the article on him in Fenstanton and his descendants in Huntingdonshire will be in the November issue of "The Huntsman". I was able to negotiate a good price for reproducing the Dance portrait of him from the National Portrait Gallery & it will be on the cover.

The Fenstanton parish register transcript has been extended to 1990 & this too should be available on CD in November - see the Huntingdonshire Family History Society website if you wish to order it.

Best wishes,

Mike Stephenson

Huntingdonshire Lookup Requests / Re: James Farrington in Winwick and Sawtry

I have just looked at our transcription of the burial registers still held in Winwick church (1813 - 2000) and there are several Farrington/ Farringdon burials, the last in 1990.
I will log those up to 1924 in case they are of use.
1) John Farrington bur 9 Apr 182 aged 12 weeks
2) Susan Farringdon bur 22 Feb 1863 aged 85.
3) Frederick Farringdon bur 14 Aug 1864 aged 1y 9m
4) Ann Rebecca Farrington bur 4 May 1881 aged 26
5) Susan Farringdon bur 12 Apr 1884 aged 25 days
6) Mary Farrington bur 2 Dec 1884 aged 68
7) James bur 10 Aug 1894 aged 83
8) Elizabeth Ellen bur 17 May 1898 aged 14
9) Rebecca bur 4 Apr 1900 aged 79
10) Mabel Elizabeth bur 28 Apr 1900 aged 2m
11) Vincent Charles bur 1 Apr 1908 aged 1
12) Louisa bur 13 Oct 1921 aged 46
13) Thomas of Oundle bur 13 Nov 1922 aged 71
14 Sarah Elizabeth bur 12 Jan 1924 aged 66.

No Hilsons noted but in Huntingdon Marriage Index they seem to be around Stow Longa, Upton, Steeple Gidding and Catworth, all within a few miles of Winwick. Note that Winwick is on the border with Northants - in fact until quite recently several acres were in that county.

Best wishes,

Dear All,

Just to let you know that we [Huntingdonshire Family History Society] will soon be issuing a CD of the Winwick Parish Registers up to the year 2000 and the MIs + coloured photos of the church etc. The final burials are being checked at the moment.

Several registers, including the burials from 1813 are still in the church, but by using a digital camera, were able to complete the register transcription in June 2008.

Keep your eyes out for the CD on our bookstall at www.huntsfhs.org.uk very soon. It will be advertised in our journal "The Huntsman" in this November's issue.

Hi all,

I am not getting into a lot of the previous discussions re. mysteries re. Lancelot Brown, but just to inform you that an article on Lancelot Brown, his association with Fenstanton, Huntingdonshire and his descendants who lived in our county is to be published in the November issue of "The Huntsman", the journal of The Huntingdonshire Family History Society - see www.huntsfhs.org.uk
This is to coincide with the publication by us of the parish registers 1604 - 1920 on a CD, which should be out soon (if I was not typing this message I would be indexing the last few burials!). We already have the MIs available & these will be combined with the registers on one disc + photographs of the church/ village.

Mike Stephenson (Huntingdonshire F.H.S.)

P.S. Has anyone the burial date/ place (Pimlico)  for the Rev. Thomas Charles Brown?
