Hello,

My ggg grandfather was William Peyton of Witchford, Cambridgeshire dob abt 1811.  My gg grandmother was his youngest child, Julia (dob 1853 in Witchford) with wife Mary (Saberton).  On Julia's birth cert William is listed as a School Master.

Can anyone shed any light on this?  Where and are there any documents about him?  Would like to know more than just dob, census data etc.

I am trying to get as far back in the family tree as possible.  I believe William's parents were William and Susanna (Langford) - but I don't have exact records.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.  In Australia, can't pop into the car and drive to local history/library.

Thanks to you all,

Rosie that is wonderful!  Thank you so much.  By the way, what does otp mean?

Again, thank you 

Hello, wondering if anyone can find the marriage of William Peyton (sometimes spelt Payton) and Mary Saberton, perhaps in Ely?  I think they were both born abt 1811.  I have that the first child was Eliza born abt 1831.  I have census data for 1841, 1851, 1861.  Also the birth cert for my  3x G grandmother Julia Peyton born 4/8/1853 Witchford which states William was a School Master.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.   

Hi Suz,

Well here is some great news

I fished around one of the subscription sites and found Isaac's daughter Ann on some census data.  Then decided to look for a marriage for her and it came up with a match for a Joshua Audas.  I can then assume that the William Audas mentioned in the probate was Isaac's grandson.  Not my direct line as I am from one of Isaac's son's - James. 

So, thanks to you I have found a match for a marriage as well and it all ties in!!

Time for bed for me in Australia.

Aha well that surname spelling is interesting.  I haven't come across that before.  Maybe that's why they go missing in two census years?!

Thank you so very much for taking the time to help me out.
