Hi John
1841 and 1851 census indexes are available on the Cambs FHS website http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html
If you find who you want and need full details just put a post on the Cambs lookup request board and I or someone else will look it up.
For later censuses just post a request - folks are racing to do look ups!
Regards
David

Hi David
Wow - I had no idea that folk are so keen. I'm so pleased to get some help.
It looks like the 1841 entry is
SKIPPAGE Charles 20 West Wratting HO107/71/12 13B
SKIPPAGE Eliza 20 West Wratting HO107/71/12 13B
Perhaps they got married just days before the census! But they are missing from 1851.
and this one looks interesting for 1851 - as potential parents of Charles (but where were these 2 in 1841?)
SKIPPAGE John 62 West Wratting HO107/1761 422A
SKIPPAGE Susan 62 West Wratting HO107/1761 422A
Thanks for any help
regards John K

Hi again, Koromo,
Last week I had half a dozen separate look-ups for various people, and one out of those was unsuccessful. This week again I had six or so requests, and the bad news for you in sunny Cyprus is that yours was the one this week that yielded hardly anything in the way of fresh results, I'm afraid.
I suppose hoping that one could look in the parish registers for Wisbech St. Peter, where James Martin was living in that Census, is rather wishful thinking.
I did indeed look in the Wisbech St. Peter Parish records, but could find no reference to a marriage, or baptisms for any of those MARTIN individuals (children and possibly grandchildren) that you listed.
I also looked for that period in Boyd's Marriage Index for Cambridgeshire, and found only 2 possibly entries for a James MARTIN:
An 1805 marriage to a Mary Waters in Coveney in 1805, and
an 1809 marriage to an Elizabeth Edwards in Wicken in 1809, though this last would probably be too late to fit with a child, Ann, born in 1806.
Perhaps if you can get hold of this family in the 1851 or later Censuses for Cambs., there might be details of where exactly they were born (and raised).
Extremely sorry,
Keith

Kia Ora from the South Pacific
It takes a long time for we Kiwis to wake up so I sincerely hope I am not too late for your offer!
I have a Wiliam Fairey who married Mary Unknown and they went to live in Great Catworth. Mary was born 1776 in Swavesey and I am hoping the marriage took place there circa 1796-1800. They had a son in 1806 in Gt Catworth so possibly had other children earlier. Is that too vague a request? I am aware that I have very little information so don't hesitate to let me know!
Thank you very much indeed for the offer.
Sincerely
Marlene

Hi Marlene, (or Kia Ora to you too - sounds much more exotic!),
As you may have seen I spied a loophole of opportunity yesterday and took it, by visiting the CCRO a couple of days before I had intended this week. The nature of my existence at the moment is that I'm not really very sure about even a few days in the future (sounds rather ominous, doesn't it?), so I try to do my research when the chance presents itself.
However, I will certainly have a look, probably next week now, for your FAIREY's in Gt. Catworth or Swavesey. I must admit I've not come across Gt. Catworth before - is it close to Swavesey?
Very best wishes,
Keith

Hi again, Juddee,
I'm going to PM you presently with all the HAYDEN baptisms, marriages and burials I found in the 1538-1996 Thriplow Parish Transcript book.
Suffice to say, I could not find that 1799 marriage to Mary King, so perhaps it did indeed take place across the county line in Barley, Herts. I hope that amongst all the info I send you you might be able to piece together a bit of a HAYDEN tree...
Very best wishes (and give me about half an hour to word-process it all!
Keith

Hi again, John (as in 47jonno),
Finally got to your look-up, and I looked at West Wratting, Balsham and Burrough Green parishes for your SKIPPAGE's yesterday. Hopefully, some of your questions will be answered by the following:
In the West Wratting 1579-1889 parish transcript book I found:
A marriage: John SKIPPAGE bachelor to Susan STARLING spinster b.o.t.p. Witnesses: Mileson Poulter, Sarah Baker.
The following SKIPPAGE baptisms are to John (a labourer) and Susanna (sometimes Susan) SKIPPAGE, presumably the happy couple:
03-02-1814: Mary (but her burial entry: 06-02-1814 aged 6 weeks)
10-07-1815: Mary
02-05-1819: Charles
17-03-1822: Caroline ( but her burial: 22-03-1822 aged 5 weeks)
25-05-1828: Caroline ( then, sadly, presumably her burial: 30-09-1832, Caroline SKIPPAGE, aged 5)
There's another burial, for a John SKIPPAGE, aged 68 on 21-04-1854.
There are only 2 more baptisms for this family in West Wratting: 02-01-1842: Charles s. of Charles (labourer) and Eliza SKIPPAGE
and: 26-01-1845: Caroline d. of Charles and Eliza SKIPPAGE
No sign of a wedding for Charles and Eliza in W.Wratting, though there is a burial: 03-08-1852 Eliza SKIPPAGE of Town St. aged 31 (Charles's young wife?)
Then to Balsham where is a marriage on 14-05-1819 for:
Charles SKIPPAGE bachelor to Lucy DICKERSON spinster b.o.t.p. (My remark now - could this be the same Charles, earlier in his life?)
There's a gap of 10 years from the date of this marriage until the first recorded baptisms in the Balsham transcripts - barren years, or did they live somewhere else for a decade?
22-11-1829: Jasper s. of Charles and Lucy SKIPPAGE
09-12-1832: Ephraim s. of Charles and Lucy SKIPPAGE
15-05-1836: Nathan s. of Charles and Lucy SKIPPAGE
10-02-1839: Una d. of Charles and Lucy SKIPPAGE
24-06-1842: Mary Ann and Melinda daughters of Charles and Lucy SKIPPAGE
Burials in Balsham: 02-02-1849: Charles SKIPPAGE aged 50
06-04-1851: Jasper SKIPPAGE aged 21
I looked for the Charles/Eliza marriage in Linton, but there were no SKIPPAGE entries there at all. I looked them up in the Boyd's Marriage Index, and found an entry that simply stated:
William SKIPPAGE and Han. ALLEN 1812 Burrough Green
Extremely fortunately for you they have just begun to transcribe the Burrough Green registers - they were in a special place, and there I found:
Marriage: William SKIPPAGE bachelor and Hannah ALLEN spinster b.o.t.p. on 12-10-1812 Witnesses: George Price and Ann Gray
Subsequent Baptisms there: 05-07-1813: Mary d. of William and Hannah SKIPPAGE
28-01-1816: Sarah d. of William and Hannah SKIPPAGE
In both these entries William's occupation is given as labourer.
Finally, a burial: 13-04-1834: Sarah SKIPPAGE o.t.p. aged 19
That's it - hope it helps. I'm going for a lie down...
Keith

Dear Keith
Thank you so much for looking. I'll search in the later census and see if any of them feature. Seeing as how in the next generation of Martins there are illegitimate children, I get the feeling that maybe this family were not too concerned about registering births ... probably gave their parish church a wide berth!
Best regards
Koromo
... and a Kia ora to that fellow kiwi, Marlene.

Hi, John and Koromo,
Glad I was of some assistance - and I see that you've had quite a bit of good help elsewhere, Koromo, on the Censuses with that MARTIN family of yours. Great!
Very best wishes,
keith

Hi Keith
When I was a boy kia ora was a de luxe orange squash, which even if it was still on the market today I wouldn't be allowed to touch as it's non-alcoholic!
Enough frivolity, down to the serious business - genealogy.
Next time you amble along to the record office could I trouble you check out the following, very specific, events:
Stapleford Cambs -
11 Dec 1758 Marriage John FORD - Anne IS(S)ON Any detail/witnesses would be of great interest.
24 May 1759 Baptism William FORD son of the above
Milton Cambs - 15 Nov 1761 Baptism John Ford (my 4 x g grandfather) 2nd son of John above. This date I found on a US website and would love to be able to verify it, as it's the only instance of this family appearing in Milton. They must have been in transit between Stapleford and Fenstanton, Hunts. where son number 3 was born
No rush
Many thanks and best regards
Bon weekend
David

David,
I thought exactly the same thing as you when the first of those Kia ora's came up from across the world from our two Kiwi Rootschatters. Nearly mentioned the orange juice thing there and then, but held my council. (Actually, I've had an impossible time trying to track down my Del-Rivo Italian roots - all I ever turn up when I google hopefully for them is that d**n Del-Rivo juice that sells so widely in the shops here)
Am presently on a (so far) strict regime of no alcohol to try and lose some weight, but 6 weeks later I'm beginning to realise that other drinks really are a boring alternative...
However, lighter and more sober, I shall certainly climb Castle Hill, Cambridge, in the near future and hunt out those pieces of genealogy for you. Just a little patience, in case I don't get there next week...
Keith
p.s. Amazing - the Rootschat site has edited my 4-letter mild expletive, I've noticed...!

KIA ORA guys!
Very useful expression as it is both a greeting and "thank you'!
The orange juice was probably from Rarotonga not Aotearoa!
Gird your Loins (?) fellows the All Blacks are coming and you'll definitely need fortified intake of some sort!
I'm trying to make sense of what my Faireys were doing for Keith and it's too early for such talk.
Upside down & down under

Marlene,
Those FAIREY's are down on the list for next time at Shire Hall as well- but of course if you can find any more details or clues before I go, then let me have them...

David,
I've just re-read your details for those look-ups I'm hoping to do for you next week, and I notice you mention the 3rd son of John and Anne Ford being born in Fenstanton, Hunts. Do you realise that Fenstanton is now in Cambs, and would you like me to verify that baptism as well at the CCRO?
Keith (The Del-Rivo Kid - bit of competition for those Kia ora Kids - sorry, it's geting rather late...)
