Gentlemen, may I join the queue?

If time permits, may I ask for two lookups?

1 The birth of Mary Ives sometime in 1825 +/- 1 year at Hemmingford Grey. Daughter of Thomas Ives (occupation sawyer or wheelwright) and Rebecca

2 The birth of Rhoda Ives (Mary's sister) at Ellingtonthorpe in 1827 +/-1 year. Same parents.

thankyou for your consideration,
g a r

Thanks DaveT

I am looking for baptism of Jane Bull born abt 1793 or 1794

Censuses give her birth as Godmanchester

It would be fantastic if you were able to find this

Thanks

Bob

I'll try my best

By the way I am looking into the Bull family too. No idea where mine are from tho. I'm researching the Shepherd family from Eynesbury, James married Sarah Bull in 1755 Eynesbury. It's so hard researching Hunts due to the local Bishop not giving permission to have parish records published. This will be my first attempt at research not done on the internet so I have a lot to get through before the wife gets bored.
Regards
Dave

It's odd Dave as there's no 1755 marriage between James Shepherd and Sarah Bull in Hunts Marriage Index. Where did you find this marriage?

It wasn't so much that the bishop refused permission to have the PRs published, but rather that he refused permission for the LDS to film many of the parishes within his patch.

Bear in mind that whilst Hunts is pretty thin on the ground on the IGI there are more parishes extracted onto the BVRI, and the NBI is actually pretty good for Hunts. Check also Hunts FHS website which includes their list of transcriptions available on Fiche, including the invaluable Marriage Index, the coverage for which seems to be complete

Enjoy Huntingdon

Regards

David

Hi David
Thanks for the info. Made a mistake on the marriage date should have been 1787. Someone sent me a list of marriages in Eynesbury and a list of burials. 8 weddings and plenty of burials going back to 1704. The baptisms I'm more interested in at the moment.

Hope to get as much done as I can and looking forward to the experience. I have no Ancestors to search for in Manchester, they're all in the far reaches of the country.
Cheers
Dave

I can see the marriage now!

Somebody in Huntingdon might well describe Manchester as being in the far reaches of the country!

And as for poor old GAR in Manitoba EVERYBODY describes him as being in the far reaches of Canada.

Hope you have a successful trip, and that it's stopped raining in England

No, just the two parties, parish if other than otp, and widow/widower, if these extra details are shown

Hi G A R and Stonechat

Been to the records office today and didn't find Mary Ives in Hemmingford Grey 1825 plus a few years either side. Didn't have time to do Ellington. Might try again if I go again later in week.

Found Jane Bull in Godmanchester feb 9th 1794 daughter of Joseph and Sarah

The wife actually did the look ups while I did my Shepherds. She found loads of Bulls in Eynesbury if anyone is interested.
Regards
Dave

Thanks Dave, I appreciate your time and your wife's effort to find Mary. I wonder if she was in fact born in Hemmingford Abbey? (It can wait)

I look forward to news of Rhoda in Ellington/Ellingtonthorpe.

cheers,

Lady at records office says no Ellingthorpe, just Ellington. Can't promise another visit as it's hours drive from Ely. A14 gets gridlocked. Will have to persuade the wife with a days shopping. what a sacrifice.
regards
Dave
