Just a progress report, I've been PM'ing SB Detective and we certainly do share ancestors through Thomas Cross born in 1811 (my 3rd Great Grandfather - his son Henry was my 2nd Great Grandfather and Charles's brother) Have just looked back further and although I didn't have it before have now reached the Tally Ho myself with the Somerset link to Elizabeth Ireson and Leicestershire to her mother Sarah.
Not overly sure where the Tally Ho is now although have gathered it is a private house now. Am visiting my parents today in Great Wilbraham so perhaps will take their dog for a walk through the village to try and find it. What wonderful infomation to give my Dad before we move overseas (Isle of Wight, lol) Maybe I'll take my camera just in case I find it.
Thanks to you all for such a wonderful thread.

Here is the certificate presented to Harry commemorating his life time achievement as church organist at Little Wilbraham church for 68 years. It would seem a church organ fund was set up in his name, does anyone know if the fund was successful in achieving a new church organ? Or is the original one that Harry played still in service today?
I hope that everyone has enjoyed reading this thread. This hand crafted work of art seems to be a fitting tribute to my Grt Grandfathers services to the church and local community. He lived at The Gate Inn where he was the local baker and publican for most of his life with his wife Martha Susan Fulcher originally of Chesterton. The Gate Inn backed onto the churchyard so his journey to work (hobby) was merely a walk down the garden path and a hop over the fence.
Would love to hear from any one researching the Fulchers of Chesterton or anyone else who may have family memories of the Wilbraham villages.

What a wonderful certificate, S.J.Detective!
And if you want, next time I'm at the CCRO I can see what I can find about Martha FULCHER. Would she have been baptised at St. Andrew's Chesterton, do you imagine?
Regards, keith

Hi Keith,
Thank you that would be wonderful, there is some mystery surrounding the exact date and christening of Martha. I believe she was born June 1882 (Free BMD) and christened 31st March 1883 (family birthday book). I've not got around to ordering up her birth certificate yet and that would help a great deal. So far as I know Martha was the youngest of 7 children born to Benjamin and Charlotte (Asplen) in the Chesterton area. St Andrew's is worth a look, but I'm not sure how big the registration district of Chesterton was at this time?
I look forward to hearing what you might find out, thanks again for your kind offer and continued input to this great topic.

S.J.Detective,
This thread has grown too wide to see properly- I think it's something to do with that large image of that certificate you put on here.
Could someone with a bit more technical nous than me please try and sort it out for us...?
Back to Martha FULCHER, there were no entries at all for Cambs for that name on the IGI when I tried familysearch.org just now.

S.J. Detective,
Yesterday I went to the CCRO and looked up in the St Andrew's Chesterton PR's, but there was only an Ernest Arthur FULCHER, baptised on 13-1-1887 to a Joseph and Emma MERCY.
Possibly a close relative of your line, but then I looked in the St Luke's Chesterton PR's, and there were your lot!
St Luke's is nearer the centre of Cambridge.
I'm going to start a new thread for you with them on.
In the Look-up Requests, Cambs...
Regards, keith

Hi Keith,
Thank you very much for the info on the Fulchers and for starting a new thread. Not sure where Ernest Arthur Fulcher fits in yet, but I'm sure he will somewhere.
As to why the above image is so big I really don't know why it came out that way? I made sure it was the correct file size and type. It's my first attempt at uploading an image so any feedback most welcomed.

Hot news
Visiting my parents today for the last time before we move to the Isle of Wight next week, I found and visited Little Wilbraham Church and Graveyards. Surprisingly the church was open but there was no-one about. We wandered through the graves in the adjoining graveyard and I found Harrys grave. I should have taken my camera but hoped my mobile phone camera would be good enough which sadly it wasn't. The grave is through the wall to the left of the church and if you turn right is about 2 or 3 graves down on the right hand side. He is buried with his wife (died 1953) and his daughter. The grave is partially covered by nettles which if I had had my stick I would have cut down. It was sad to think he hadn't had a larger and more fitting resting place. I have attached a photo of the grave although sadly you can't read it, I am really sorry it wasn't a better photo. I took a copy of the certificate to my Dad who was thrilled and can't believe he has ended up so close to his ancestors.
Hope you find this info useful.
Jenny

Hi Seebee,
Thanks ever so much for confirming that the fund is still going strong today and that it was used to refurbish the very same church organ that Harry played. My family were not sure if the same organ was still in the church or not and it's great to have it confirmed.
I am looking forward to visiting the Wilbrahams one day soon, but looks unlikely this year and will probably now wait until next springtime.
Many thanks, very best wishes

A bit late in the day, but with regards to pub closures in the Wilbrahams -
Gt Wilbraham: Tally Ho 1956, White Swan 1957, Kings Head 1972
Lt Wilbraham: Gate 1935, Greyhound 1969.
If licensing registers for the area survive they are in Cambs CRO as are Quarter Session records for earlier periods, but from memory, I think survival is patchy.
If any brewery records survived then Kings Head & White Swan would have been with the Whitbread Archives and copies should now be in Cambs CRO. Tally Ho was Greene King, good luck, although their attitude to researchers may have improved. Greyhound was Watneys, if there was anything it could be in either Norwich or Cambridge CROs. Gate was Star Brewery/Tolly, doubt if anything has survived but there might be something in Ipswich or Cambridge CROs

Hi Robert,
Great news and many thanks for posting this interesting information, never to late as Keith says.
I'll have to make some enquires with the brewery's in question and take a look at any records if they still exist at Cambs CRO.
Very best wishes

Hi,
I am new to this so please forgive any mistakes. I think that my husband might be related in some way. his Grandmother was Maud Mary Cross (1836) her Father was Fuller John Cross and she was the Grandchild of Henry Cross 1836. Maud Mary was born in Wormley, Ware, and moved later to Roydon Essex with her husband Harold William Brace. I would be interested to hear if our family is connected. mysubee
