awesome I posted a querie re the Bridewell and Charles cecil and a google seasrch bought me back here
going back over the posts
a Henry Cecil son of Charles Cecil weaver was also granted freedom of the city in 1739 so is to be presumed a brother of Charles who had a son named Henry

I had seen about 4 Trees on Ancestry.com with Elizabeth Lumley and Charles Cecil as parents of out c1718 Charles Cecil, who were they?
FamilytreeDNA has a sale on testing up until 31 December
A good time for any male Cecils to test YDNA
I think we are all too far removed from Charles Cecil to show up on the Family Finder tests, but if any of you have actually done a Family Finder test PM me so we can compare notes

there was a Samuel married Elizabeth Jones in 1846, but I am not sure which Samuel Cecil he is.

Ignore them until we can get a marriage nailed down in the right parish, too many parish records haven't made it online to be certain of anything around Westminster without trawling through the registers at the archives.

Just registered and read your post re DNA testing of Thomas Cecil Earl of Exeter.  My interest is aroused.  I am descended from Charles Cecil and Judith Raby.  I have a photo of GrGrGrandfather Daniel Cecil who is spitting image of William Lord Burghley, given the generational gap.  My brother and nephew resemble the Thomas Cecil line.

I would like a copy of your entry please.  How do we do that, I'm new at this.  I read the Indenture and am pleased we're getting somewhere.  As Charles Cecil has signed the Indenture, is there any other papers signed by ancestral and probably forebears for comparison of handwriting.  There is usually a family likeness - it may be the paternal likeness.  Appreciate the physical efforts at your end as I'm another o/s in Oz.  I just read down further and see you can attach an image, is that how it works?

Hi

Just to let you know you can't attach images to this part of the forum.

May I suggest you use the personal message system to exchange email addresses and send information to each other via that method.

CecilyQ,
              I read Dawns message re passing likenesses  Charles Cecil 1718 silk weaver and his wife Judith Madelaine Raby are my ancestors. I would very much appreciate any photographs likenesses or documents you may have.
 When I first came upon this branch of my family tree I looked at it with tongue in cheek, as it seemed too good to be true. Since I found that I was in the middle of an arguement, I backed off as I live too far from the Archives of proof . I have left the Cecil branch from Judith Raby back into history to the history books and keep a watching brief from the sidelines.
    Your post ,though interested me as it dealt with the period of Charles  and Daniel Cecil and the Hugeunot silk weavers.
Looking forward to hearing fro you
