Well I've been searching for James for 11 years and nary a sign except the photo! Without a Regiment it's very difficult from afar. And not a clue left by great grandparents!

I do hope yours is not disappointing! I have one of a little girl with her uncle and I pinpointed her age at around 4/5 seems from other info I now have she might actually have been 7/8 - these photos are very deceptive. Not to mention frustrating!
Best of British!

Hi Marlene et al,

It looks like I am (going to be) disappointed about the age of my photo but that's life   :-\

Keith - All is forgiven  ;D - are you still talking to me?  :-[

There endeth the subject of my photo  :(

Thanks
Di

Di and Marlene,
I don't think anybody knew exactly how old that photo was - they just suggested it might have been taken a bit later than imagined.  And course I'm not in any way upset, Di, I'd have thought YOU would have been the one a little miffed to discover that the snap might not be 1849 or so!
But if indeed it was taken some time later, who do you think the two people are...?
Keith
p.s. Hoping to get to the CCRO on Thursday this week, by the way, if there are any more requests apart from my 3 pending.

Keith - Don't even go there  ;D
 As I have only one ancestral family from that area and they left in abt 1870 - I have NO IDEA who they MAY be (but I'm still claiming them anyway  ;D - don't like seeing lost souls  ;) )

Now - back to the original topic - Cambs Look ups  ;D

It sounds like you may be bored on Thursday so I'm off to see who else I can add on to your list - idle hands and all that......

Hi again, Helen (hlbradd),
Had a look this morning in the original registers for Cambridge St. Sepulchre, first of all in the baptisms 1812-1868, but there was no sign of any BRADD entries; then I looked in the burials, 1812-1866, and there was just the one sad entry: 26th April 1815, Joseph BRAD (sic), aged 7 months.  Abode St Sepulchre.
Couldn't find any other documents in the parish chest that might have given any more clues about why and when John and Sarah might have left this parish...

Lady Di,
I looked up that MOULE marriage in the Willingham registers this morning too:
03-07-1755: Adams MOULE of Whaddon, yeoman, to Mary LIVETT spinster otp. by licence.  Witnesses: Mary Bright and Wm Adams.
That's all there was...

And hi again Enrique (eawz),
You've waited patiently, but today I managed to find a great deal of information about your WILMOT/WILLMOTT/WILLIMOTT/WILLIMOT etc. family in the parish of St. Edwards, Cambridge.  It was nice to see places cropping up that are familiar to me today as a resident myself in Cambridge for the last 30+ years - Covent Garden, off Mill Rd (there's a nice pub in the street!) and Corn Exchange (went with my daughter recently to watch a Rooster concert there...) to name but two...
Will begin to put your info. on here bit by bit, after I've had a little lunch break...
Regards,
keith
