Good, Garnet,
Didn't have my map of the Cambs parishes with me today, otherwise I'd have had a quick peep in the neighbouring ones to Gamlingay.  Must get more organised next week, as Wendy will probably agree...

Dolly.
Will raise a glass in celebration of our 400th posting on this thread, and will duly after a couple of sips make a note of these in my red notebook; for next week, hopefully...

Hi Keith,
Do you think you could have a look at the Meldreth & Foxton transcripts for Blayne/Blane/Blain burial entries 1599-1670? I’m struggling big time to sort them all out from the IGI, and without the odd burial it’s impossible. Too many Henrys having children at the same period, some with a wife mentioned, others just Henry.

I’ve put them in a spreadsheet (all events at Meldreth unless otherwise stated)

1 Nov 1603    Marr      Henry Blane & Elizabeth Griffin   
3 Mar 1604      Bap   Mary          Henry & Elizabeth   
17 May 1607          Bap     Urseley       Henry & Elizabeth   
1 Jul 1610        Bap      Anthony   Henry & Elizabeth   
2 May 1613      Bap    Henry          Henry & Elizabeth   
4 Aug 1614   Marr    Lt Grans   Henry Blane & Mary Covington   Red herring? No children on IGI
16 Oct 1617   Marr        Henry Blane & Denies Pamner   . Is there a burial of Elizabeth 1613-17?
22 Aug 1619      Bap   Henry   Henry (& Denies?)   
28 Jan 1620      Bap   Thomas   Henry & Denies   
23 Jun 1622      Bap Foxton   Thomas       Henry & Margaret  (No marriage in Boyd)
8 Jun 1623      Bap   Richard              Henry & Dories   
19 Dec 1624      Bap Foxton   Thomas        Henry & Margaret   
11 Dec 1625      Bap Foxton   Alexander   Henry   
31 Dec 1625      Bap   Margaret   Henry & Margaret   Was she buried before 1630?
2 baptisms in Dec 1625, one in Foxton, one in Meldreth, looks like 2 couples.   But neither marriage on Boyd
28 Apr 1628      Bap   Henry           Henry   
3 Jun 1630      Bap   Andrew        Henry & Margaret   
5 May 1631      Bap   Margaret   Henry   Was she buried before 1637?
29 Nov 1632      Bap   Luce          Henry   
31 Oct 1633      Bap   Anthony        Henry   
6 May 1636      Bap   Robert         Henry & Margaret   
13 Apr 1637      Bap   Margaret   Henry & Margaret   
19 May 1638      Bap   Elizabeth   Henry & Margaret   
16 Sep 1639      Bap   Francis (M)   Henry & Margaret   
29 Sep 1641      Bap   Matthew   Henry & Margaret   

I also have another Margaret chr 27 Jan 1627 dau of William – is there any sign of a burial for her before 1659

I have one Henry buried in 1660, but it looks to me as though there should be more. Is there any sign of any others?

I hope this is less complex than it appears! I'm happy with the baptism details I've got: it's trying to work out which Henry is which as the father! Were any of them described as Gent or esquire, which is a possibility, and would make a nice change from my usual ag labs.

No rush, when the weather cools - I'm sure a small records office, probably with no AC, is not the best place to be on a sweltering hot summers day.

Coming over to Derby next week for daughter #2's marriage. Hope it cools down, as I'm killing two birds with one stone and shall be going to Matlock records office to do a bit of research.

Many thanks

David

Scuse me butting in.. but would you mind asking at Matlock whether they have the Parish Baptism & Marriage Registers for the Wesleyan Methodist  Church at Ripley between 1892 and 1940?  And can the marriage entries be photocopied?

Hot on the trail of Faireys again but far too many of them to ask for look ups (about 30!) unless I have the above info! ( ALL the Faireys in Ripley are connected!) There's just too many of them for me to buy all the certs!

I'd get down on my knees but they're frozen stiff on one of our coldest days of the year!
Regards from Aotearoa! Very enviously!
Yours
Marlene

For a frozen kiwi, it would be churlish to refuse!

I'll see what I can dig out for you.

35 here today, but I think it's hotter than that. It was over 40 last Friday when I went to watch the finish of the Tour de France in the town centre.

Need  more sangria!

All the best

David,
Ships that pass in the night, and all that - but I left for the CCRO this morning just before 9 a.m. to look a couple of things up for Wendy (wdurham) and Dolly.  Just missed your message by a couple of hours.  Hopefully next week...
And another curious coincidence in that I'm in the Hathersage area of Derbyshire the week after you're seemingly nearby.  I'm seeking out my COCKER roots in the village.
Very best wishes,
keith
