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

[wdurham]

Hi, Gail -

I am sure Keith will see my post - he keeps his eye on this thread!

The county boundary thing is a nuisance - complicated by the fact that although Walsoken is in Norfolk, it registers in Wisbech which is Cambs.

Pre-1837 baptisms, marriages and stuff MAY be in the Norfolk Parish records - post-1837 stuff MAY be in Cambs.

Keith will know, I am sure!

Hello Wendy,

Thanks again.

If you need to trace any ancestors that came to Australia (especially New South Wales) you know who to ask - would be more than happy to help out.

All the best,
Gail

Hi
Is it possible to view marriage entry on 30 Dec 1829 of Stephen GOLDING and Frances Gee, at Longstanton, Cambs Eng.

Am interested to find out if it lists anything about them witnesses etc?

Also interested what other lookups are available for Oakington.
Is there such thing as a death register?

John GOLDING m Ann FLOOD and had
William 1777 m Agnes Stittle 1802
John 1779
James 1781
Charley 1786 d. 1786
Thomas 1788
George 1791 m Ann Linton
Joseph GOLDING 1783

Wondered if they had any other children?
marriage reference of William and Georges marriages and if John, James, Thomas or Joseph married?
Is there usually other info in register or is it better to just order certificate?? I don't have much idea about this stuff can you tell?
Sorry if it's too much I got a bit carried away.
Would be happy to just find out what records are available for Oakington and Longstanton and how they're most easily looked up.

I wish Cambridge wasn't so far from me I'd love to get in there myself some day.
Thanks in advance

Hi Lilygirl

Not sure how far you are from an LDS Family History Centre where you live down under (these are listed on www.familysearch.org) but if one is not too far most of these parish registers or the BTs have been filmed and can be ordered for viewing at the Centre. Wherever a centre is in Oz it's got to be closer than Cambridge!

Regards

David

I've just found Keith's last post dated 19 Feb on the Common Room board which I hope he won't me copying here

"Because, I'm afraid I'm going away myself for a while, am sadly unable to deal with any outstanding queries that may have just been put to me.  A very difficult time at this very instant within my own small family.
But as a larger extended family, all you Rootschatters have been absolutely wonderful.  I shall miss you all, and hopefully I'll be back on line in a few months time...
Keith"

Hope everything works out for Keith and that he'll be back soon.

All the best

David

Until we know that he's back in action I suggest we all suspend requests for Keith to rush up the hill to CCRO to do look ups.

[wdurham]

Many thanks for letting us know, David.

After all the help Keith has given to so many of us, I am sure he will know that we are thinking of him.

Kia Ora Keith
I shall miss all the banter on various juices etc and do hope all comes well for you & your family.
I hope you're going somewhere nice with a wee hill to ensure your daily constitutional (!) is maintained.
Let us know when you're back!
Thanks for letting us know Beds BOY!
Ka kite apopo

Hi again, Everyone,
So good (and what a relief) to be back, so will presently be looking into those unanswered queries here re Cambs records at the CCRO for the likes of LilyGirl, for one... After the weekend, I'll comb through and see what needs looking up before Easter...
Very best wishes,
Keith

Welcome back Keithy Babe- missed you and the banter!!!

Have you seen the Australian TV Advert which is too shocking for the genteel English? Every time I saw it I thought of you! It finishes with a bikini woman on  an empty beach saying "Now where the b@#$% hell are ya?"

Apparently your watchdogs have banned it from your screens which I thought rather ironic as my predecessors probably learned the expletive from the Pommies in the trenches!

Now I wonder how many of my Fairys are missing......
Ciao
