Can you read this headstone please - Whaddon grave

[Dave Francis]

Hi Di

Whaddon isn't that close to Willingham, but Willingham may have been Robert's mother's parish.

IGI Batch number C073451/ FHL Film 0990297 supposedly covers Whaddon baptisms from 1599-1851 and I see a fair number of Moules are listed, but none for the period you are interested in.

Thanks Dave,

Darn it - why did I ever think this would be easy 

Although I have found many entries on Parish films that have not been recorded by IGI - hoping to find 7 sons is probably a little optimistic 

A minor challenge awaits 

Appreciate your assistance

Have you tried the Cambs FHS website on http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html
which has a Baptism Index 1801-37? This covers all parishes in Cambs.

Hi David,

Thanks for that link. I have visited Cambs FHS web site previously and have found them to be one of the best sites around. They really supply so much information - easy to use - easy to read - and it's all free.

What more could we ask for? 
(well, maybe info from the 1700's might be a bonus  )

Much appreciated

Hi Folks,

Hope I am not closing the door after the horse has bolted but the date looks like "February 20 1833" to me..........

......... looking again you're probably right!

Hi Pam,

Thanks for looking at the headstone. I have found him on the 1851 census (aged 85) - still a farmer with children/adults living at home so I guess the date should be after 1851.

Much appreciate your help

Hi Di,

You might enjoy a closer look at Cambridgeshire.  A really good Satellite image is available on Google Earth........
