Hi
I know that Huntingdonshire records are hard to come by on line, but have recently come across a possible link to Kings Ripton does anyone know if these records are available on-line any where or is this another mysterious parish

Thanks davidft
At the moment its one name I've found and its a hunch so not sure it worth buying the CD just yet, but they definitely have a lot of useful stuff a great link to keep hold of.

Kings Ripton baptisms and marriages are on the BVRI, which is now available online on Ancestry.

If you're not a subscriber to Ancestry or can't reach a library which has a library subscription, post the name and dates and we'll take a look.

But why not check https://familysearch.org/search which appears to have Kings Ripton baptisms and marriages up to 1877

Hi
Thanks I currently do have a subscription to ancestry, that is where I found a possible link but I didn't see any baptisms. I have family in Somersham last person in the line is Wakefield Woods b1837 no further link and not a common name But I recently found a marriage record for a Wakefield Woods marrying Elizabeth Bayes 1 Oct 1733.  This is only 8 miles away and dates fit nicely to be his parents. so I wanted to know if there was any details on the marrage records, or a baptism for Wakefield 1837. I cant seem to find anything else.
