Yaxley is well represented on www.freereg.org.uk but the burial of Wm Sinclair is the only entry for that surname.

Many thanks, Bev. I have that link in my bookmarks and I'll take a look later today. I'll also see if I can find any parish records for Yaxley.

That must have been a very long job Bev. I've used FreeReg for checking out other names, but not for Yaxley before. Previously I even checked from 1700 to 1800 +/- 10 years under Birth, Marriages, and Deaths for all the places in Huntingdonshire, and used Soundex. I think I'm going to get a CD with all the records that are available for Huntingdonshire. I looked at those from the other links below that people were so kind as to post. But it will have to wait until I can afford it  :)

Same here :)
I have lots of ancestors in Warboys and the lack of online records is very frustrating.
I live abroad so can't pop round to the records centre.

I have a few ancestors in Warboys too. Mostly Gowler relations and, with that surname, so much easier to research. Like you I'm not able to get to record centers, in my case because I'm housebound. I did try a letter to some of the local newspapers re: Sinclair, but had no response at all. I do wish all the records from Huntingdonshire were online but it seems to be one of those counties where not a lot of permissions for that were given. I live in hope it will happen someday soon  :)

I've got a transcript of the Eynesbury Parish Records from the 1500s onward -- if it'll help.

Many thanks, that’s an extremely kind offer and I’d like to take you up on it. I’m looking for anyone with the surname Sinclair up to the first real census in 1841.

Hi.   Went through Banns, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials looking for SINC* but found no occurrences.
