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

[Keith Sherwood]

Hello again, Di,
Probably making a nuisance of myself, but just had a look at The National Archives site, and there are at least 6 MOULE wills that you can download (all in the area of Whaddon, Saffron Walden and Royston) starting with Stephen MOULE, yeoman on 02-06-1672 and one as late as 1840.
But I expect you've already got these...

Sorry Keith
might be colloquial Kiwi for a rowdy debate, fight, knukcledusting...
Delighted to hear the Beds Boy is back on home ground! LUCKY fellow.

  I still haven't worked out what a "stoush" is ...

LOL!

A good down-under word that has been around for so long, it's standard Newzild:

Hi Keith,

Firstly - you are CERTAINLY NOT making a nuisance of yourself. Every little bit helps - thank you.

Onto the Wills - I haven't even looked at them. Thanks for checking the Nat Archives for them. Looks like I may need to start buying some of those. I have spent so much time on my Medcalf family (in Herts) that I haven't touched this family very much.

Oh - it's so nice to have at least one line to follow - all others are at a full stop/brick wall/going nowhere - you get the picture.

I will be back soon to follow up on my Mary Cole Born Bassingborne c. 1781 (just in case you happen to see the record in passing  )

Off to the Yellow Brick Road - Nat Archives - here I come  

Regards
Di

Remember - ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME re the Moule Family- is ALWAYS WELCOME

Di,
I'll certainly look up Mary COLE in Bassingbourn next week...
Those MOULE will references at TNA were:
Stephen MOULE yeoman of Whaddon 02-06-1672 PROB 11/339
Stephen MOULE gentleman of Saffron Walden, Essex 02-01-1838  PROB 11/1889
Elizabeth MOULE of Gamlingay 20-07-1811 (not sure she's one of yours)
Mary MOULE spinster of Royston 15-07-1826  PROB 11/1714
Elizabeth MOULE spinster of Royston 18-07-1823  PROB 11/1673
William MOULE maltster of Royston 01-10-1840  PROB 11/1935

Last time I downloaded they were £3-50, but perhaps the charge has gone up.  I've also found women's wills usually more detailed than men's, as individual items tend to get listed - but maybe I'm wrong about this impression...

Hi Keith
When you're next in the RO perhaps you could have a look for this gentleman please? All I have is this marriage in Wrestlingworth, Beds

7/4/1805 Wm Carver(Bassingbourn Cambs) to Eliz Bird

I'm desperately trying to link him to my Wrestlingworth Carvers but so far can't find him anywhere - here's hoping he was baptised in Bassingbourn circa 1785.

Thanks in anticipation
Jan

Hi Keith,

I haven't even had time to check the IGI re Mary Cole yet so I'll get back to you with better information if it's available.

I like the sound of the Will of Stephen Moule of Whaddon. Even though it's an early date, it may help fill in the picture.
This is exciting - I haven't been that far back (with proof) on many lines - yippee - this is a MAJOR BONUS.

Thanks
Di

Janan,
I'll have a look for William CARVER in the Bassingbourn baptisms next week - wouldn't it be a remarkable coincidence if I found him on the same page as Mary COLE (for Lady Di...)!

Thanks Keith It certainly would be a coincidence and it would save your eyes from a bit of squinting.
Cheers Jan
