Hi Keith
If Cambridge has the Hunts transcripts as well then that would be great, if it's not too much additional work - there were 5 Fords baptised at Fenstanton, details of which I took from the BVRI, but any additional detail would be useful:
Thomas 20 Oct 1764; Ann and Sarah 1 July 1770 - Ann buried possibly 8 Feb 1772; Ann 9 May 1773 possibly buried 10 Aug 1783; James 4 Apr 1779; Thomas buried 9 Dec 1792 which I think may have been the Thomas baptised in 1764, although by then the rest of the family had moved to Papworth St Agnes (the parish register of which I have been through)
Many thanks for the offer
Del Monte

Hi again, David,
Right, I've got all that. But it you think I'm going to help you with your Italian (?) Del Monte genealogy, you've got another think coming...I'm up to me eyes already (drowning in 5 feet plus of orange juice) with my Del-Rivo line. And don't even mention the Kia ora clan.
Keith (I think I'm off for a coffee and croissant now, that's really told him...)

Hi again, Juddee,
Very glad that things are beginning to slot together. You must excuse the juicy banter going on between David (Bedfordshire Boy) and I - we both really take this family history thing extremely seriously. In fact, I'm popping up to the CCRO again on Friday, all things being equal, to look up a few details on his FORD family...
Very best wishes,
Keith

Hi again,Marlene,
Went to the CCRO today as promised, and all I've got to do now is interpret my messy notes, so here goes:
I first looked in the 1576-1875 Swavesey Parish transcripts, but the only entries were three marriages in 1722, 1725 and 1748. So I turned then to the book of 1679-1882 Gt. Catworth Parish transcripts. There was a baptism on 19-05-1776 for a William FAIRY son of Mary Fairy. (no father given)
There was a long sequence of baptisms to Thomas and Mary FAIRY, starting with a William in 1812, and continuing in 1814, 1815, 1818, 1819, 1822, 1824, 1826, 1827 and 1829!
There was just one BASSET entry, a marriage on 30-04-1748 between Elizabeth BASSET and John SELBEY
Looking at the VOS/VOSS name, there was a marriage on 14-02-1703 between Thomas VOS and Hannah BEULY, which resulted in the following unhappy statistics:
Elizabeth VOS bapt. 24-12-1704 buried 22-02-1710
John VOS bapt. 04-11-1711 buried 17-08-1714
Thomas VOS bapt. 31-10-1714.
Then, a Thomas VOS buried 31-08-1724 (was this the father?) because: buried 14-03-1731 Hannah VOS widow.
Finally, I looked in the 1608-1967 Ellington Parish transcripts.
Only these baptisms: Sarah FAIREY d. of William and Sarah on 19-08-1761.
15-04-1832: James FAIREY s. of William and Charlotte
30-11-1845: Sarah FAIREY d. of David and Mary
Not a very cohesive bunch of entries, but that was all I could find, I'm afraid...

Whoopsie Daisy Keith now you have really turned my world upside down!
But firstly thank you very much indeed for all your hard work! I'll note all the apparently disjointed bits as I am sure they will all come together one day!
What has completely thrown me is the info from Gt Catworth. The long series of baptisms..!
I have William bap 1812 and then a huge gap to George 1826, Charles 1828, Phoebe 1829, Ann 1835, and Eliza 1837!
To make matters worse I have Thomas married to Sarah Mitchell in 1808 in Bletsoe and their first son was Thomas Mitchell Fairy bap 1810 in Riseley Beds.
Thomas & Sarah are together through the 1841,51,61 censii until Thomas dies in 1866 and Sarah in 1867.
I thought there was something funny about this family having a huge gap between children of about 14 years but thought maybe they moved out of town for a while!
Your sequence is much more logical (apart from the wives names (!)) but I am missing all the actual dates from William (1812) onwards.
I hate to ask you to get them for me because you have already been so very helpful but perhaps you could tell me if I can get a copy of the transcript? And if so where from?
Many many thanks once again
The kia ora kid ....going to get something stronger before midnight!

Dale,
Being turned upside down is one of the problems with living in NZ, I've been told...! But, seriously, unearthing new evidence often upsets the applecart. I've found some of my ancestors quite elusive in the late 18thC and early 19thC, and have turned them up - eventually - in Nonconformist registers, etc.
Take time to digest it all, over that stiff drink you promised yourself...

Hi again, David (Bedfordshire Boy),
Well I visited the CCRO yesterday, as you can see, but I don't think I've pushed forward the frontiers of your FORD family very much. However, there might be one or two extra bits for your eagle eye:
Stapleford: Marriage on 11-12-1758 : John FORD, bachelor of Milton and Ann (x) ISSON spinster o.t.p. William Bell, curate, other witnesses Robert Williams and Matt Moule
Baptism: 24-05-1759: William FORD s. of John and Ann
Now, in Milton: Baptism: 15-11-1761: John FORD s. of John and Anne admitted into the congregation Nov. 22nd.
Frustratingly, the Fenstanton records were nowhere to be found, though I KNOW I looked in them when I went earlier in the year. The main archivist was away on Friday, and her stand-in wasn't as familiar with where everything was.
Then I looked at Papworth St Agnes (1558-1975), and noted down the 8 FORD baptisms to John and Anne between 1788 and 1806, but then came home and read that you'd already got these, so I won't trouble you with those!
I'm just a little bit disorganised this weekend...
very best wishes, (and hope those Fenstanton records turn up again for next time)
Keith

Hi Keith
The Stapleton and above all Milton entries were the ones I really wanted, and you've confirmed what I was looking for. Don't go out of your way for the FenStanton ones - they're more nice to know rather than need to know.
Thanks very much once again for checking these out for me
Best regards
David

Hi again, Juddee,
I'd be very to happy to look things up for you again next time I'm at the CCRO, but I think you'll find that Royston is in Hertfordshire...
Very best wishes,
Keith

Dale,
Did you in fact want me to get the details of those baptisms to Thomas and Mary FAIRY from 1814 to 1829 inclusive - I didn't at the time think they were significant to your research...?

Kia Ora Keith!
if you have time I would love ANY details of Faireys in Great Catsworth but only if you can spare the time!
I am very conscious that a lot of others are seeking any info too and feel very greedy!
This is what I have (open to debate of course!)
1. Thomas Farey was born c. 1789 in Riseley Beds. His baptism was not recorded there as the relevant pages are missing from the Parish Records. Info as to birthplace assumed from later censii.
2. I have him marrying Sarah Mitchell Nov 1808 in Bletsoe. Sarah was born Eynesbury according to later censii.
3. I have as their children;
Thomas Mitchell Fairy bap 1810 in Riseley to parents Thomas & Sarah
William Fairy 1812 - (assumed parents to be Thomas & Sarah as he says he was born Gt Catworth.)
George 1826
Charles 1828
Phoebe 1829
George , Charles & Phoebe are with parents Thomas & Sarah Fairy on the 1841 census.
4. Later I have Thomas Mitchell Fairy 1810 marrying Mary Warren Nov 1834 with the following children:
Thomas Mitchell Fairy born 1833 died 1833
George Fairy 1836
Priscilla Fairy 1838
Charlotte Fairy 1842
These dates are approximate as they are taken from Censii.
5. I have William Fairy 1812 marying Ann Dickens? no dates and having:
Amy Fairy 1835
Eliza 1837
Joseph 1839
Thomas 1840
Henry 1843
Charles 1846
John 1849
Again the date of birth has been approx.
There wil be other Fairys but if you can clarify any of the above I will be over the Southern Cross and heading for the moon!
I appreciate some wives may have died and been replaced!
A huge thank you mate!
May the Farey/Fairy/Faireys be on your shoulder!
Regards
Marlene
