Completed My Visit to Cambridgeshire County Record Office - will do simple Look-ups

[Keith Sherwood]

Hi again, David (Bedfordshire Boy),
Well I visited the CCRO yesterday, as you can see, but I don't think I've pushed forward the frontiers of your FORD family very much.  However, there might be one or two extra bits for your eagle eye:
Stapleford: Marriage on 11-12-1758 :  John FORD, bachelor of Milton and Ann (x) ISSON spinster o.t.p. William Bell, curate, other witnesses Robert Williams and Matt Moule
Baptism: 24-05-1759: William FORD s. of John and Ann
Now, in Milton: Baptism: 15-11-1761: John FORD s. of John and Anne admitted into the congregation Nov. 22nd.

Frustratingly, the Fenstanton records were nowhere to be found, though I KNOW I looked in them when I went earlier in the year.  The main archivist was away on Friday, and her stand-in wasn't as familiar with where everything was.
Then I looked at Papworth St Agnes (1558-1975), and noted down the 8 FORD baptisms to John and Anne between 1788 and 1806, but then came home and read that you'd already got these, so I won't trouble you with those!
I'm just a little bit disorganised this weekend...
very best wishes, (and hope those Fenstanton records turn up again for next time)

Hi Keith

The Stapleton and above all Milton entries were the ones I really wanted, and you've confirmed what I was looking for.  Don't go out of your way for the FenStanton ones - they're more nice to know rather than need to know.

Thanks very much once again for checking these out for me

Best regards

David

Right you are, David,
I had fun for a few hours there on Friday, anyway...

Hi Keith,

I'm back again with another request (or two!)

When next at the CCRO and time permits could you check the following death entries for me please?

Ann Hayden died Mar 1/4 1852 Royston  Vol 3a  Page 126
Henrietta Hayden died Mar 1/4 1853 Royston  Vol 3a  Page 150

The image on FBDM for Henrietta is very hard to read but I believe I have the right Hayden.

Any info dates etc you can supply on the mother and daughter will be much appreciated, Keith.

Cheers Juddee

Hi again, Juddee,
I'd be very to happy to look things up for you again next time I'm at the CCRO, but I think you'll find that Royston is in Hertfordshire...
Very best wishes,
Keith

[juddee]

Sorry Keith   

     Got all excited when I found them listed under county Cambridge as they were living in Thriplow in 1851 according to the census records  ......I've now found them in the Hertford deaths as well soooooo....
I will go post a topic on the Hertford Lookup Board. 

Thanks Keith

Regards Juddee

Dale,
Did you in fact want me to get the details of those baptisms to Thomas and Mary FAIRY from 1814 to 1829 inclusive - I didn't at the time think they were significant to your research...?
Keith

[Dale]

Kia Ora Keith!
if you have time I would love ANY details of Faireys in Great Catsworth but only if you can spare the time!
I am very conscious that a lot of others are seeking any info too and feel very greedy!
This is what I have (open to debate of course!)

1. Thomas Farey was born c. 1789 in Riseley Beds. His baptism was not recorded there as the relevant  pages are missing from the Parish Records. Info as to birthplace assumed from later censii.

2. I have him marrying Sarah Mitchell Nov 1808 in Bletsoe. Sarah was born Eynesbury according to later censii.

3. I have as their children;
Thomas Mitchell Fairy bap 1810 in Riseley to parents Thomas & Sarah
William Fairy 1812 - (assumed parents to be Thomas & Sarah as he says he was born Gt Catworth.)
George 1826
Charles 1828
Phoebe 1829
George , Charles & Phoebe are with parents Thomas & Sarah Fairy on the 1841 census.

4. Later I have Thomas Mitchell Fairy 1810 marrying Mary Warren Nov 1834 with the following children:
Thomas Mitchell Fairy born 1833 died 1833
George Fairy 1836
Priscilla Fairy 1838
Charlotte Fairy 1842
These dates are approximate as they are taken from Censii.

5. I have William Fairy 1812 marying Ann Dickens? no dates and having:
Amy Fairy 1835
Eliza 1837
Joseph 1839
Thomas 1840
Henry 1843
Charles 1846
John 1849
Again the date of birth has been approx.
There wil be other Fairys but if you can clarify any of the above I will be over the Southern Cross and heading for the moon!
I appreciate some wives may have died and been replaced!
A huge thank you mate!
May the Farey/Fairy/Faireys be on your shoulder!
Regards
Marlene

Dale,
This is going to be worse than discovering Fairies at the bottom of my garden...!  They'll be positively flitting on gossamer wings around my head next time I open those books at the CCRO.  Not sure when at the moment, but rest assured I will indeed jot down everything FAIRY/FAIREY/FAREY that moves...
Very best wishes,
keith
