Thomas' sister would appear to be Ellen born Stuntney circa 1844 married to James Minett a railway carman born Ely - same age according to the 1871 census in Ely.

I can't find any member of the family on the 1861 census not in Cambridgeshire or anywhere else!

The 1861 census for Ely was almost entirely destroyed by flooding before it had been filmed. So unfortunately it's missing from the Ancestry records and from any Cambs issued on CDrom. Lost and gone forever!

Bringer of doom and gloom

Thomas Fretwell was my Great Grandfather his father was William Fretwell born 1813 Wretten Norfolk his father was John Fretwell also Wretten married 14/04/1813 his father was Thomas again Wretten dies 1798 .  I spent a day at the Norwich record office to get back a bit further . I also have taken photographs of the church at Wretten . I have photos of Tom marrying Mabel on June 17th 1911 which was taken at The Dunstalls with all the family members present . My grandmother was a bridesmaid. . I also have other family photos . I only live just down the road from Stuntney .
Hope this is helpful

Hi
Thank you for that.  It has been so long since I've touched my family history but it would be lovely to see the photos you have.   My grandad Fretwell died a couple of years ago and I have some of his photos of the Fretwells which I can forward to you.  Can I forward my email address to you?

Thank you
Kim

 :)Kim, I have some family information which may help you with your family tree
work. My aunt was Minnie who married Jack Fretwell and lived at Ben's Farm Stuntney.
Minnie was sister to my father Arthur Fretwell. Let me know. I am in Ely often.

Hi Vernon
Thanks for your post.  It would be lovely to hear from you again.  Minnie was my great grandmother, her son - John - my granddad.  His son, my dad, is also John and lives in Soham.
Look forward to hearing from you
Kim

Hello Kim, Thanks for your reply. By now you may have all you need for building your family tree
but if not I can send you what I have about the Fretwell family relating to your great nan Minnie
(my aunt) I will be in Ely tomorrow (Thurs) and could meet up if you like and then hand you
a copy. Alternatively I can e.mail it to you.
Of course I knew your grand father very well but probably only met your father once or twice
at Ely City football. Let me know if you can meet or if you want me to send it to you.
Cheers Vernon F
