Huntingdonshire / Re: Sarah FAREY b abt 1786 Holywell cum Needingworth
« on: Tuesday 14 February 12 18:08 GMT (UK) »Hi
My name is Peter and I am doing a one-place study of Holywell-cum-Needingworth, including all its people, buildings, maps, documents, history etc. I only moved here 8 years ago, and only started my study a few months ago and so have little to add to what has been said in this thread already about Sarah Farey. There may be more I find out over the years as I manage to link people together and get more data.
I note on the 1841 census there is a John Golding b 1811 living with his family (wife Ann, children Joseph, Maria, George) in Needingworth High Street. He might be one of Sarah's 6 children, as well James who is with her in the 1851 census. (I think James is in Huntingdon on the 1861 census.) Sarah Golding seems to be living with Sarah Ayres in the 1841 census, and it seems the same Sarah Ayres lives next door to her in the 1851 census.
I do not know where this Sarah Ayres fits in but the Ayres are well represented in Holywell-cum-Needingworth records. I have some details on at least 60 of them.
The Hunts Family History Society are publishing a transcript of our PRs soon and I am looking forward to them. Of its nature I am not able to spend as much time on each family and individual as I would like to, so will make more errors than I would like. But I am hoping to build up a fuller picture as the years go on.
I hope this is of interest. If you are at all interested in people who have lived in our village(s) do feel free to let me know at * and I can swap information with you and keep you informed of progress.

Thanks Peter.
I'll keep your offer in mind. At the moment the only Holywell links in my tree are to Sarah Farey & her mother Mary. Sarah (Farey) & James Golding (sometimes recorded as Goulden)'s daughter Ann (b 1806) is my wife's ancestor & she apparently went to live in Hertfordshire. She married a James Tomlin in St Albans on 26 Dec 1826.
Please let me know when the PR's are published. Maybe they'll help track down Mary.
Thanks again
John
