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 ;D

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.

You've lost me! How can a marriage in 1733 be the parents of someone born in 1837, 104 years later?

Hi
Firstly I would like to apologise for my two week absence, I have been poorly, I did get the replies and intended to reply sooner, but have not had the strength to go through my records till now.

Bedfordshire Boy you  make a great point that would be impossible, but I have once again made a type error it should say
Wakefield Woods b1737


Margret I have built up most of my tree from census like you said.
I do have I do have Wakefield and Mary with son William Wakefield 1829
I think she must be the Mary Burgess in the marrage you found I didn't have that THANKS :D
I did look at the huntingdon wakefield woods but as yet have no link.
Great work on all  the marriages.
I'll get together what I do have, see if you can confirm any info

Wakefield Woods 1788-1855 married Mary Burgess? 1795-1873

He has two brothers

Richard Woods  1793-1879 married Martha Payne 1791-1874
William Woods 1791-1847 married Mary 1798-
All in Somersham I believe

Their father was Richard woods 1759-1798 married Martha Wright
His father was Wakefield Woods 1737-1787 married Elizabeth Robinson

I think I have most census details  for the three brothers at the top and their families.
