John Few, born 1802, later became a miller in Norfolk and died in 1875 in Manea, Cambridgeshire. He married Ann Cochrane (formerly Taylor) in Marylebone in 1837 and had previously been married to Martha Butteris.

Thank you Andrea, that is very helpful.

Something to add would be that Ann Few's mother was a laundress to the Royal Family and her daughter was born on the same day as Queen Victoria's first child - Nov 21 1840. The Queen presented her with a silver salver to commemorate the coincidence, now sadly lost.

Ann had two sisters, Emma and Harriett, and later in life started to call herself Victoria.

Hello Victor and Briannicus,

I am a new member and my great grandmother was Ann Few, whose father John Few was born in Ely in 1802, son of Robert Few and Sarah King.

As yet I have been unable to acquire a copy of Gautrey's study but would be very keen to do so. Brian's study sounds very impressive and I would be interested to contribute info/learn more if I can.

Victor's burials lists also sounds excellent and I will contact via pm as he suggests.

Best wishes,
James
