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

I think he should get a prize - no contest!  (Where are those prize people hiding?...)

Actually, I have a confession to make - the look-up I did for a circa 1734 baptism for a William SWANN was NOT requested by Rosalie (I managed to remember her other request successfully), but by someone else on Rootschat.  I've searched everywhere on here (I think) to try and see who wanted this information, but without success.
So, if anyone would like to claim it as their own, its the posting I made at 15.54 GMT on Wednesday 25th January...(though it does not push back the barriers in any way - I didn't find the actual baptism I was looking for, for William!)

Yikes.....I made a post requesting  a look up and thought I did it on this thread but it isn't here 

I know it was sent because I read it after I sent it.....damn, this getting old is the pits !!!!

If anyone sees a post re a Witchford Parish look up in another area could you please post it here for me??

I am off to search but doubt my odds.....

My turn to blush.....I did it as a new topic.

If I had a brain cell it would be lonely.

Dollylee,
Another aspect of this William SWANN look-up is that there is another Rootschatter who contacted me to tell me that they were descended from this man's second marriage in 1780, so perhaps we could exchange PM's and I could put you in contact...

Hi Keith

When you next wend your weary way up that hill to the CCRO if you have a mo could I trouble you for a lookup in Longstowe parish register for the following:
1818 marriage Ann Gates/William Sparks Any other details eg witnesses would be useful
I'm also looking for Ann's baptism, but I have a problem with her approx birth year. There's a baptism on Cambs Baptism Index in 1801 in Longstowe, which if you can find I'd appreciate details. But her age in censuses runs as follows: 35 in 1841 (which fits nicely with the 1801 entry; 55 in 1851 (which doesn't!) and 50 in 1861 (which is even worse). So if it's not too big a task could you also check for baptisms 1795-1811 for Ann Gates as well. (I'm hoping there'll only be the one in 1801)

As always, many thanks

Kind regards

David

David,
What a great shame about this - I must have gone out of my door literally ten minutes before your message got posted on here.  And guess where I was bound for...!
Did look up a couple of things at the CCRO for people on here - not posted my findings yet - but could so easily have accommodated your query.  Will have to do this one on my next visit, whenever that might be.

No hurry Keith. They've waited 200 years. Nothing is likely to change in the next month!

Especially as it's a short month - seriously though, I'll get this looked up in the next week or so, David...
