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

[Keith Sherwood]

and Dolly,
There really was no sign of any of those 3 baptisms and 2 marriages in Linton for SAMMS/SEAMAN/HILL/HILLS/KITTERIDGE, anywhere near the approximate dates you gave me...
Sorry, keith

[Keith Sherwood]

...and Wendy (wdurham) although they had a book published by the Cambridge Antiquarian Records Society called "Isleham Church Book - The Church Book of the Independent Church (now Pound Lane Baptist)", it only went from 1693 until 1805. (There WAS a Susan KING mentioned in the church minutes in 1706/7).
Couldn't find a mention of James KING anywhere else...

Yep- grounded in more ways than one! Hillsides slipping, roads closed for days and Kiwis cannot fly!
I'd be very grateful indeed to get the answers to the questions if you can get them! I could then systematically work through the marriages. I have the baptisms until early 1900s from an LDS film which finishes about then.
Hope the sun is still shining for the wedding and that you have a speech prepared!
Many thanks
Marlene

Yes, Matlock does have the registers of Ripley Wesleyan Methodist Church.

m Gladys Kate Fairey 21 spin Dom serv of 26 Peas Hill Rd Ripley father George Fairey bricklayer

And just in case you haven't got them in 1901

RG13/3229 folio 17A
Wood St Ripley

George Fairey son single 23 bricklayer b Fritchley Derbys
William Hy Fairey son single 17 Gen lab b Ripley
Bela Fairey son single 16 Coal (not Cole) Porter b Ripley
Joseph Fairey son single 14 Coal porter b Ripley
Lawson Fairey son 12 Errand boy b Ripley
Hilda Fairey dau 7 b Ripley

(in 1891 Bela was shown as daughter, but if she really was a coal porter in 1901 I think she was probably a he!)

In 1891 the family is indexed as Fanny, so Thomas's wife is Fanny Fanny!

Regards

David,
Now there's a nice surprise for Marlene when she wakes up in N.Z.!  Afraid I haven't been to the CCRO this week to check that list of burials for you, and I'm hopefully heading for Derbyshire myself at the end of the week.  In-laws in residence for a couple of weeks from tomorrow (celebrating their golden wedding on Friday), but I will get up there when things quieten down.
Hope you enjoyed your time in Matlock...

Hi Keith

No sweat, whenever you happen to be next up there. Derby/Matlock was good thanks, got a lot done. First time I've handled 500 year old documents. Somehow brings these long dead ancestors much closer. Spent a lot of money on photocopying as I went into the Local Studies Centre in Derby as well. Already planning my next trip!

Enjoy Derbyshire

David

Keith -

Yet another small request when you next toddle up Castle Hill.

Having acquired a transcription of the Isleham Parish Records on CD from the CFHS, I had hoped not to have to worry you about them!

However, I have a burial recorded on the CD as follows:

"1826 Aug 30 SCARF Ann otp 66"

Would you be kind enough to check the original record for me and confirm that the age was indeed 66? Might it conceivably have been a badly written 56?

Many thanks,
Wendy
