It wasn't the language, it was the partially clad Sheila that shocked us.

Too cold in your neck of the woods for that sort of gear?

...and still pretty nippy for the time of the year here in Cambridge, but just the weather for puffing up Castle Hill on Wednesday (hopefully), and getting to grips with some of the requests made by Lilygirl on here and by PM for the parishes of Longstanton, Oakington, and Knapwell.
For those who don't know (this is the anorak in me, now), Knapwell is the only Cambs "Thankful Village", i.e. the only village in the County who sent men and women to fight in the 1914-18 War - and they all returned safely...

Kia Ora Keith!
I have one request which you might be able to help me with!
I asked earlier for you to find the Baptism of an Amy Fair(e)y born c. 1835 in Great Catsworth.

Amy is on the 1841 census aged 6 with parents William & Ann Fairey. I have now identified that her mother Ann was married previously to a SAMUEL PASHLER  which probably explains why you couldn't find Amy Fairey!

I think Samuel Pashler married Ann Dickens 26 December 1826 in Gt Catsworth and Ann remarried to William Fairey.

Are you able to confirm that Ann Pashler, Widow, married William Fairey and a baptism date for an Amy Pashler for me please? Hopefully Amy's baptism will confirm her biological parents!!!

GGGRREEAATT to have you back! Hope all is well.
Ka Kite

Marlene,
I'll have a look in the Great Catworth registers on Wednesday for those...
N.B. Talking of those Thankful Villages just now re Knapwell, I've looked up in my book about all 32 of them in England.  The ironical thing is that the village that sent out the largest number of all-surviving combatants (44) is in Gloucestershire and is called Upper Slaughter...

You're pulling my leg!!!
I had never heard of the "Thankful Villages"  but I bet they were!
Perhaps one day when it is too wet or too windy or snowing (!) you will be thankful to stay home and type up the list!
Probably a new topic under "resources"? It's a wonderful wee extra "gem" if you're lucky enough to have the villlage in your Family Tree.
If uou post all the locations you won't be beseiged by eternal questions!
Many thanks for mentioning it!

O.K. Marlene, you asked for it...
The phrase was coined by Arthur Mee in his King's England series of county books
Bedfordshire: Stanbridge (33 men went to war and all returned...)
Cambridgeshire: Knapwell (23)
Derbyshire: Bradbourne (18)
Gloucestershire: Coln Rogers (25)
                          Little Sodbury (6)
                          Upper Slaughter (44)
Leicestershire: Willesley (3)
Lincolnshire: Bigby (10)
Northamptonshire: Woodend (19)
Nottinghamshire: Maplebeck (2)
                           Wigsley (7)
                           Wysall (17)
Norfolk: Ovington (14)
Rutland: Teigh (11)
Somerset: Aisholt (8)
                 Chelwood (4)
                 Rodney Stoke (17)
                 Stanton Prior (4)
                 Stocklinch (19)
                 Tellisford (3)
                 Woolley (13)
Suffolk: South Elmham (11)
Wiltshire: Littleton Drew (22)
Yorkshire: Catwick (20)
                 Cayton (43)
                 Cundall (12)
                 Norton-le-Clay (16)

Now, I've just counted these entries up, and there only appear to be 27 listed, and Mr Mee wrote about there being 8 villages in Somerset alone, not just the 7 I have... So the list doesn't seem to be complete - does anyone know what the other 5 village names might be?
Such a carnage, no wonder a mere handful of villages were unscathed...
Keith
p.s. for some bizarre reason, Aisholt in Somerset with 8 men safely back is showing as a smiley in sunglasses...

Annie,
You always seem to have everything at instant recall at your fingertips...so what WERE the other 5 villages, then - my own digits are too tired to look now!
