Longthorpe
« on: Sunday 21 October 18 04:14 BST (UK) »
Folks,
I am having trouble finding any records for Longthorpe,Genuki does not recognise the name nor is it listed on Archersoftware list of parishes.Google Earth shows it  just west of Peterborough.
Can anyone throw some light on it,please?
Looking for baptism of Ann Brown c 1833.

Only a few miles from city centre of Peterborough.

Also, says Cambridgeshire, not Northamptonshire

Do you have her on the 1841 census?

Do you know of any younger siblings?

The mighty wikky (not always 100% accurate!) has:

LONGTHORP, a chapelry, in the parish of St. John the Baptist, Peterborough, union and soke of Peterborough, N. division of the county of Northampton, 2 miles (W.) from the city of Peterborough.

Thank you both.
Checked St Johns without result,may be one not baptised.
No sign on census up to 1861 either.On the backburner for now!

If you haven't found it on line, I can go to the archive in Peterborough an have a look, but I won't get a chance to go there for about a fortnight

I may have this wrong but did Ann Brown marry William Newman in 1872?

I can see what seems to be them on the 1891 census, Ann born in Longthorpe. I can't find a baptism of Ann Brown there. They are in Kent in 1871.

A William Newman also married Ann Grossmith in 1868 and she appears on the 1881 Census as the step-sister (actually sister-in-law) of Thomas Brinsley. She was born in Longthorpe in the same year as Ann on the 1891 census.

Elizabeth Dicks on the 1881 census was also Grossmith of Longthorpe.

DCB,The marriage you found is the one i was using,but it now appears to not be connected as 1871 census shows married.
1881 census is the one i need.
Mvann,Thanks for the offer as it may be a year or two before i get there.
If you can check the marriage of Ann Grossmith to William Newman,his father John,a labourer,that will tie things up.
