KING- Melbourn

[bedfordshire boy]

ETA, Why can't I find this entry on the normal IGI? 

Because Melbourn hasn't been extracted by the LDS. But the Layng transcript is on the BVRI, which can be found on Ancestry and on the pilot LDS site, as well as on a CDRom set

I am having probs loading whats needed for the pilot search that welsh lady suggested.

It worked fine for me using the welsh link

Hi,

This Mary seems the right age but her death seems a bit late,

Mary KING   
Date of burial: 1807
Age: 38
Place of burial: Melbourn
Dedication: All Saints


There are children born in Melbourn to James and Mary so it could be her instead.



Do you have this christening?

Mary KING
Birth:  15 Jan 1789
Baptism:  11 August 1792
Melbourne, Cambridge
Father:  Robert KING
Mother:  Mary


Regards,
Daisy

Hello Daisy, thank you so much for helping. The Mary King that died age 38 in 1807, was I believe Mary nee Hicks. She was a spinster otp when she married James King (bac) otp on 15 Oct 1798 at Melbourn PC. Their children Mary ( b sept 1799) Charlotte ( b Dec 1801)
Joel ( b Mar 1806) were all baptised at Melbourn PC.

James ( wid) otp then married Sarah Huggins (sp) otp 22 Feb 1808 at Melbourn PC

No I don't,  has this information come from the same source as Robert Kings baptism that I was querying ?  I must admit I'm becoming a little paranoid thinking that this information may of been missed be me when I used to spend days at Cambridge record office making notes of all the Melbourn Kings

My sanity has been restored by a lovely lady archivist at Cambridge. She very kindly undertook a search for me for the baptism of Robert King in 1766, Melbourn.

The original parish register
Layng transcript that includes Bishops transcripts
Melbourn Baptist Church......no records for that period.
Melbourn Independent Chapel......no records for that period

Nothing found!

So along with my original searches and whatever source the Cambridgeshire Family History Society took their search from to produce the Melbourn CD, we have all come up with nothing.

Could someone please point me in the right direction as to who I need to get in touch with from the LDS to try and authenticate the entry that is on their site?

Hi,

Yes I got the info from the same source used by welsh lady,

http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start

I've found that this is becoming a great resource for records I haven't been able to find on other internet sites.

The BVRi has 9 children of Richard and Mary baptised in Melbourn, followed by four of Richard and Elizabeth

Thank you again, I think I need to go and have a lie down in a dark room!  I am sure someone somewhere is inventing these entries

If you look at my original post you will see that I have the six children listed of Robert and Mary and then the four of Robert and Elizabeth.

On the record search pilot ( have finally managed to get into it) there are another 3 children listed that really do not make any sense and are not on my records. These are Mary ( b 15 Jan 1789) that Daisypetal pointed out, John (b 23 June 1790) both baptised on 11th Aug 1792 and Lydia ( b 30 Oct 1793) no baptism date given.

I will get the bottom of the supposed baptism of Robert King if it kills me. Any pointers as to how to do it will be gratefully received

Id contact the LDS with the film number David ,Bedfordshire Boy found in earlier post and ask what Church/Chapel the records are transcribed from?
Submitted entries can obviouly be wrong but not usually transcribed records maybe spelling mistakes etc but i wouldnt expect a whole family to be wrong and the dates look correct for the children?
Theyve been transcribed from some source
you say in previous post that records for the Baptist and Independant are not in Record office did you ask if they exist and they havent got them.Record offices dont always hold all the non conformist records .In my local one they didnt have the Chapel records for where i wanted but The Chapel did which is where the verger let me read them.
Worth a shot contacting LDS
