Rosalie,
Just had a thought, and therefore a question for you - should I be looking in Whittlesey St Andrew or Whittlesey St Mary, as I think they were both busy parishes, then...?

Hi Keith
Looking back I have the marriage as Whittlesea St Marys and
the baps as Whittlesea.  This is all I have to go on.

Hope this does not complicate things.
Regards
Rosalie

This probably isn't the right board for this but you did look up the information for me and on the register marriage of William Whetstone to Elizabeth Sandiver it say b.o.t.p.
What does b.o.t.p. mean??
I have tried to figure it out and came up with:

becaue one thought pregnant
being of the peasants
best of the pick
but the thought I had that makes the most sense is both of this place.

Is that correct?

Hello, I am researching Joseph Mustill b. 1798 and Sarah Ann Johnson Mustill b. 1804 who married 1827 according to Pallets in Over, Camb. then came over on the Ship Woodbury from London to New York:
Caroline Mustill     Apr 18, 1833   5   F  London    Ship Woodbury
Elizabeth Mustill    Apr 18, 1833   3   F  London    Ship Woodbury
Frederick Mustill   Apr 18, 1833   9   M  London    Ship Woodbury  (Stepson)
Jane Mustil           Apr 18, 1833   5   F  London     Ship Woodbury 
Josh. Mustill         Apr 18, 1833  34  M  London     Ship Woodbury 
Mary Ann Mustill  Apr 18, 1833   7   F  London      Ship Woodbury  (Stepdaughter)
Sarah Mustill        Apr 18, 1833  29  F  London      Ship Woodbury 
Jane Mustill was born in Over, Cambridgeshire and the family settled in Akron, Ohio and had more children here. Jane Mustill m. Alvin Rice of Taplin & Rice Co.
I would like to find out more about the family over in England, baptisms, marriages, etc.  and how I would begin to find out about those things....
Thanks so much,
Jeannine

Hi, Jeannine,
And welcome to Rootschat...The earliest I can get to the Cambridgeshire County Record Office is next week, from Jan. 3rd.  I have quite a few look-ups to do at the moment, but will certainly have a look in the Over Parish Records there for details of that 1827 marriage for the bride's family name, and entries for the MUSTILL family name prior to 1827 (and Sarah Ann's family if there is time).  I just hope they stayed in Over for a while, otherwise it might become difficult to track them down!
Very best wishes,
Keith

Hi Jeannine

A good place to start for this period in Cambridgeshire is the Cambs FHS website at http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html which has baptism and burial indexes. Unfortunately none of the children you mention appear to have been baptised in Cambs, so possibly the family was non-conformist. There were however children of John and Rebecca Mustill baptised in Over.

The 1827 marriage on the Pallot's index between Joseph Mustill and Sarah Johnson shows that Joseph was a widower - the same index shows a marriage in 1820 at Willingham between Joseph Mustill of Over and Lydia Smith (although no Lydia shows in the burial index).  You show that two of the children were described as stepchildren, so it's possible that Sarah too was a widow in which case Johnson may not have been her maiden name - but doubtless Keith will be able to clarify this from the Parish register entry.

Regards

David

Thank you gentlemen...! I know research is difficult and time consuming... so please take your time... the info that Keith had on Joseph being married before is what I have as well but you had more info and I will add it...
