Stangate Hill, Huntingdonshire
« on: Friday 07 August 09 20:02 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone could tell me where Stangate Hill is.  One of my ancestors was born there about 1847.  His father was a woodman/forester -  was there an estate or similar around the same area?

Any information will be very welcome.

Hi Tramroad

Welcome to Rootschat :)

Thank you - Samuel Tomlinson with son Sherard are my family.  Do you have any connection?

Bit late to the party ;)  but Sherard Tomlinson married Annie Hunt who is in my tree.  They had a son Sherard who I believe went to Canada with his grandfather Thomas Hunt and is in the 1911 census there as Thomas' son named Sherwood Hunt.  Annie remains in England but think she must have remarried.
