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

[tazzie]

  Hello Keith..

 Would it be possible to add another look-up for your Bassingbourn lookups?

 I have Edward Trustrum c 7 july 1734 Bassingbourn  f Edward
                                                                                   m Ann ??
 & Edward Trustrum c 26 April 1702 Bassingbourn   f Edward ( again!!)
                                                                                m Katherine ?

 Can you see any of the marriages as I would like to check on the mothers maiden names?

    Please let me know if this is possible.

                   Thanks

                              Tazzie

  p.s IGI has children for edward & Katherine from 1694-1702
                                     Edward & Ann from 1732-1743
   might break the years down for looking..

Hi Keith,

I have been looking at the IGI for any info re my Mary Cole (born Bassingbourn c. 1780/1). I don't believe that she is on the IGI  

The reason I think this is because (as the witnesses at her wedding) she has a sister Stephena Ann Cole and a brother Charles Cole. Neither of these show in Bassingbourn (or anywhere together with same parents)
Obviously these two may be her parents   but I dont think so as there is a Stephana Ann Cole married in London c. 1803.

I know IGI doesn't have everything and I apologise if I have just confused the issue.

As you said - trying to make sense of this lot is a bit of a challenge.

Regards
Di


PS - Just to make matter a little more confusing, there is a LDS entry on the IGI for Joseph Moule marr. Mary Ratford 16-01-1748 BASSINGBOURN. This couple had 6 children Baptised at Whaddon  

So it looks like you may see a few Moule Family members in Bassingbourn as well a few Cole family members.

Oh - I just know you are wishing that you hadn't offerred to do Look-ups by now  

Have fun with the Bassingbourn records  

Regards
Di

Di,
The Stephana Ann COLE born on 26-11-1809 in Whaddon and baptised there on Christmas day 1809 is surely the same individual who marries a Thomas MEDCALF in Whaddon on 13-03-1838, from those entries I found for you yesterday...?
The IGI is a very patchy reference, as some parishes were not touched at all - should be used as a starting point only.
But talking of all one's eggs in one basket...(see my recent thread started on The Lighter Side re expressions and cliches!)...
Yes, Tazzie I'll look up those details in Bassingbourn for your family, even earlier in the 18th C.  That book of transcripts is going to get quite worn out...

Hello Keith,

query for you... (while at office on here when should be working  )

does the record office have parish records?

I am looking for a couple of bods but all born pre 1837...

thanks

Mo

   Keith     Many many thanks

                     

                 Tazzie
 p.s.
   sometimes it is Trustrum  or Tristrum.

Kia Ora Keith it's that Nuisance from Down Under AGAIN!
I am seeking the marriage of GEORGE FAIREY & Sarah Unknown (perhaps Baker?) early 1860s in Gt Catworth and the Baptisms of their children viz:
George c. 1864
Tom Baker c.1866
Jabez James Sept Qtr 1867
Charles born July 1870
Florence Mary June Qtr 1872
Lot Horace Dec Qtr 1874
Ernest Jesse June Qtr 1876
Sarah L June Qtr 1878
James J Nov 1880
Priscilla Mar Qtr 1883
Lucy Minnie Sept Qtr 1885
Dora June Qtr 1888
All born Gt Catworth. Dates are from birth registrations or Censii.

SO... if you can bear it my friend I'd be so grateful to get Baptism dates for some more of my Fair(e)ys at the bottom of the garden!

A very grateful KIWI.

Keith,

Well, urr umm - you are correct - almost....
Stephana Ann ...... did marry Thomas Medcalf.
(They are my GGG grandparents   )
BUT I believe that her surname was MOULE  
 - daughter of Robert and Mary of Whaddon.

sorry
Di

[Keith Sherwood]

Hi, Moscan (Mo)
Hope you're not going to get fired on the spot for looking up illicit websites at work!...but can you give me some details of names and dates for the people you're wanting info. on?
Best wishes,
Keith

[Keith Sherwood]

Sorry, Di,
I'm tying myself in knots here!  Of course Stephana Ann was a MOULE, slip of the keyboard/my brain.  I'll try and sort out things by giving 18thC Bassingbourn a good going over next week, searching for COLE's and possibly MOULE's there...
