im looking for information on the speechley family of yaxley, my 4 x gt grandfather is a william speechley in the census he is living in whittlesey,cambridgeshire with wife ann and son william working as a farm labourer but states his birthplace as yaxley,the census would date him to being born around 1802,he married his wife a widow by the name of ann crawthorne from ramsey on 26th november 1832 at ramsey.
but i cant find any birth/christening for a william speechley in yaxley around this time.there is another william born around the same time in yaxley but hes been proven not to be the william in our speechley tree.

Yaxley parish register has been filmed by the LDS, unlike many Hunts parishes, so is available to order and view at your nearest LDS Family History Centre if that's closer than Huntingdon

Dear David,
Hope you don't mind my jumping into the middle of your chat. I see from the net that you have done some research on the Rogers of Bedfordshire. I am descended from one John Rogers who (I believe) married an Elizabeth White in Potton in 1778. He may have been from Campton (B. 1753) but not confirmed. We have a copy of his will dated 1828. You can see my tree on ancestry (Rogers032009) and at http://andrewfr.tribalpages.com/ (password ailsa). I am in Bangkok, so depend on the net for much of my research.
There was a John Rogers, vicar of Potton in the 1500's, but no idea as yet if he was related.
Any further information or leads you may have on earlier history of this family would be most welcome.
If it is useful I can send you a copy of the will by email.
Best regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew
Welcome to Rootschat!
We have exchanged messages about John Rogers on another board, where I thought we'd decided that John was unlikely to have been from Campton. Weren't they married in Croydon Cambs, rather than Potton, which is where they baptised their children?
I'm on holiday at the moment but will be home tomorrow, where I'll have a think, but I have a feeling that I'd gone as far as I could go - did Croydon parish register add anything?

Dear David,
I don't remember a previous contact. Could have been my cousin Richard, or his son - also Andrew Rogers.
Any ideas would be most welcome. So far we have not been able to find old John's parents or place of birth...
Best regards,
Andrew (the Bangkok one!)

Hi Andrew
There was an andrewfr from Bangkok on http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28072&page=2 which I assumed was you. That thread sums up what we found about the Campton John Rogers, but all the indications were that your John Rogers was probably from Cambs
Leaving for the airport in an hour. I'll have another look when I get home

Hello Patsy,
bapy at Yaxley.
1800 William son John/Mary Speechley.
1800 William son Phillip/Mary.
Margaret.

Fatman,
Hope you are still following this line,i'm looking for marriage of George to Lucy Coles around 1830 in Yaxley.I have traced this line to Australia and the lack of online data has slowed me considerably.
-
Hello found in Yaxley George Speechley=Sarah Dent in 1834.
Margaret.
-
There is no marriage in Hunts of George Speechley and Lucy Coles on the Hunts Marriage Index
What's the evidence for the marriage?
-
I have no evidence of the marriage,their daughter Judith is the link to my family through marriage to William Woods in 1854
-
I have gone back over this again;now appears Geo and Lucy didn't marry but had one child,Judith, before Lucy dies.Geo then marries Sarah Dent in 1834 and has 6 more children.
1841 and 51 census reflect this, then Judith reverts to her mothers maiden name.
Thanks all.
