and now Lilygirl, in no particular alphabetical order, we come to your GEE's...
Marriage in Knapwell: 06-11-1799: James GEE (x) of Longstanton to Susanna MALLING otp.  Witnesses: Robert Woolhard (x) and Samuel Skeggs (x)
I found no burial entry for the GEE family in Knapwell, but when I looked in Longstanton St Michael, there was on 21-05-1860 a burial of a James GEE of Chesterton Union, about 82.
Could this be the same man, having fallen on hard times, and having been housed by this workhouse on the edge of Cambridge.
Also from the Longstanton St Michael's registers (there is an All Saints, Longstanton, but no GEE entries there covering the period you were asking about)
Marriage on 19-02-1825: Susanna GEE otp. to Thomas FLETCHER of Holy Trinity Cambridge.  Witnesses: Melia Fletcher and Wm Neal.
Marriage on 19-09-1826: Maria GEE (x) sp. otp. to Edward GOLDING (x) bac. of Oakington.  Witnesses: John Smith (x) and Sarah Golding (x)
Marriage on 30-12-1829: Frances GEE sp. otp. to Stephen GOLDING bac. of Oakington.  Witnesses: Edward Golding (x) and Maria Golding (x).

Quite a bit of family intermingling here between the GEE's and GOLDING's!
I'll pause for a cup of tea now, and give you the rest of the GOLDING entries I found in Oakington by PM...
Very best wishes,
Keith

Hi Keith
Well.. base born sounds some what better than bastard which I have encountered before on the  registers!!
Many thanks for Amy's baptism it confirms what I suspected but I guess  I'll never know whether William was the culprit or not!
I think Ann/a 's husband died 1829 so anything/anyone is possible!
Many thanks for your help! I'll owe you one!
Still hoping the Bangaldeshis trounce the Aussies...! Now wouldn't that be a celebration!
Cheers

Hi there Keith,

What a legend. Thanks a lot for your help. Have to go now heading away for Easter hope to get in a spot of fishing if the weather is fine! but just wanted to say thanks so much and also wish you a happy easter.
Hope the easter bunny is kind to you!!

And must admit was good to hear ''Punters boys made it even if it was a bit of a struggle. But Gillespie is a fellow South Australian so now he's there it was obviously him that made all the difference!!! LOL
 ;)
Bye for now happy hunting will be in touch.
Lilygirl.

Hi Keith

While you're looking at Croxton could I also trouble you to check the baptism entry for Henry (Henerichus) Madlock on 16 June 1661, son of Jacobus and Gratia. Was there anything else relating to this entry - probably not!

Many thanks

David

David,
If those names are written in the Latin version, then perhaps there'll be a few Latinisms in the details, so I'd better take my classical dictionary with me.  Managed to pass an "O" Level in the subject, but that was 44 years ago.  Sometimes keep my eye in trying to decipher old tombs in churches...
Hope you've had a restful Easter...
Keith

Keith

If its not too late, I would be most grateful for any info on a marriage between Elizabeth Wayment and John Price.

Elizabeth in censuses from 1851 to 1881 is described as being from Barrington, Cambs with a date of birth in the range 1806 to 1811.

The Cambridgeshire baptism index comes up with an Elizabeth Wayment baptism in 1809 at Bassingbourn which seems plausible.

The first child is born in Basingstoke abt 1837 and this would seem to point to a marriage date sometime in the early/ middle 1830s.

Would this be a simple enough look-up, and is it possible via the library to obtain copies of these entries?

regards

Alan

Alan,
Am I looking in both the Bassingbourn and the Barrington parish registers for you? (I'm imagining that the "Basingstoke" reference was a mental slip on your part - or does Hampshire come into this family's equation too?)
I'll certainly look in both Bassingbourn and Barrington for Elizabeth's baptism circa 1809; and a marriage to John in the 1830's...
