and David, A footnote, looking through what I scrawled down this afternoon. Apart from all those interrals in Meldreth, there were also a couple of marriages: 29-09-1617: Robert BLAINE and Catheren (sic) INGRY 16-10-1617: Henry BLAINE and Dennis (sic) PAMNER. Definitely goodnight now, way past my bedtime... keith
OOPS! How that infuriates me but then I have to be grateful we have the Internet at all! Wonder if he swears in French or Anglais? Hope all is well with yours! Marlene
Thanks very much for all those Blaines Keith. I'll now try to sort them out!
You're right - my home internet dropped just after my last message to Suncrush, and I'm still waiting. Some good old fashioned Anglo-Saxon has been heard in France recently. Merde is simply no substitute, although I'm deep in it!
How people research on the internet in libraries or internet cafes is beyond me.
Hopefully I'll be up and running again within a week - and that's an even longer period in France than it is in politics.
Hope you enjoyed that cold beer - it's been 35Cdown here this week so I've been raising the odd glass.
Thanks again
David

David, Good to know you're in contact with the world beyond those fortified medieval city walls again. Today I was dragged out to a garden centre quite near to Meldreth, so on the way back I got my own back by jumping out of the car and having a quick scout round the Churchyard. Obviously those BLAINE burials were 17thC, but thought I'd have a look - nothing, of course, very few actual gravestones of any description still there, though I did take a snap of the church with a nice blue September sky behind... keith
I am not familiar with Settlement Papers/Removal Orders and wonderd if you were able to look them up in the RO?
If so, I am trying to find a removal order for JOSEPH KETTERIDGE/KITTERIDGE and his family (wife Martha and five children) in 1817 from Linton to Bartlow.
Thanks

I have just found a very small glimmer of a light at the end of a tunnel that you may be able to help me with PLEASE.
I am looking for Baptist records for the late 1600 for the town of Milbourn (which I can only assume is meant to be Melbourn ). Found reference via a Google search and that's how they spelt to town name??
Any idea is CCRO would have these records?
Thanks

Hi again, Di, I'm not sure whether the CCRO would have these records, as nearly all their transcripts of Nonconformist records are between 1800 and 1837, I believe. I'll certainly see what there is next time I'm there - though opportunity is rather limited at the moment due to one or two changes in the pattern of my domestic life... keith
