Many thanks for your reply. It is a pity that the dates are not compatible.

My thanks to you all ! They are all a vast improvement on the original. I'm not quite sure how to get a higher resolution on the photograph, I'm afraid.

THANKS TO EVERYONE ! Your efforts have saved me from some added expense !
David, I've been nowhere, just pursuing the elusive Villiers clan and its Australian branch. Still no luck with William Henry Villiers.I might try a post again on the Staffordshire page.

Cambridgeshire / SUSANNAH CRAFT probably CROFT
« on: Thursday 11 October 12 12:02 BST (UK) »
I need help finding previous records for Susannah CRAFT. The 1851 Census for Abbotsley lists her in the household of William Craft 62. She is listed as Relative and widow age 31 lacemaker born in Gamlingay. In the next Census she is remarried to a James Rook aged 41 born Little Gransden. I feel sure this is her as William J Craft aged 3 born in Abbotsley Hunts and described as grandchild is living with them. He is likely to be the son of William Craft aged 15 in the 1851 Census. I may not be explaining this very well but I do need help !! I need help finding the birth of Susannah, her marriage to a Craft and subsequent marriage to James Rook. I also need verification of her relationship to 'the grandson' William J Craft
