Finding answers in Lincoln

[rkemp]

Hi any Kemp, Campe or Camps out there?
I am looking for any answers about my line. I have a Ralph Kemp 1637-1725, Cripplegate, son of Jeremie Campe or Jeremiah Camp b.1605 Crowle, Lincoln and married Joyce Burton in 1628. His father I believe is Jarman Camp 1573-1616 and married Alis Greenbanke in 1593 Crowle, Lincoln. My Kemp line changes with Ralph who lived in London to Camp or Campe and has become quite challenging. Firstly, is this possible to have spelling changes? Secondly, is it possible to go back any further and find how long the Kemps, Campes or Camps lived in Lincolnshire?

Hi, Just wondered if this is of interest to you.                                                                              http://www.bobcopeland.net/all-o/i33.htm#s1356   Regards Del.

Regarding spelling changes, please see my posting on your other thread, the answer is Yes. Parish records were introduced in 1538 by Thomas Cromwell chancellor of Henry VIII. Few registers date from this date, more from 1558. Prior to 1538 you are into Medieval records, though it is possible to get further back, and it has been done, it is more difficult, the sort of thing you will be looking for is a manorial record, if your ancestors held a tenancy, a farm for instance. It is a subject on its own account and I suggest you do some googling to get an idea what is available. Good luck.
