Hi Rosalie
This is what I’ve been able to put together from the research aids at my disposal – unfortunately many Hunts parish registers are only available at Huntingdon Record Office, the LDS having been refused permission to film them.
Baptism John Stacy 14 Sept 1663 at Holywell cum Needingworth, son of James and Elizabeth - not sure if this is the right John, as Holywell is some distance from Glatton where John and Jane produced their children .
Baptisms at Glatton, Hunts
27 Mar 1687 William Stacey son of John and Jane
11 Aug 1689 John ditto
10 Jan 1691 James ditto
7 July 1695 (Birth 17 June 1695) Elizabeth ditto
13 Jan 1700 Thomas Stacey son of Thomas Stacey
The Godmanchester PR entries on the BVRI do not cover the early 1700s so I can’t confirm the 1700 entry for Thomas. There are no Stacey burials in Glatton 1701-1800 so it looks as though the family must have moved en bloc (to Godmanchester?). The first Stacey burial in Godmanchester in the period 1701-1900 was in 1729 – your John, but then nothing until 1755. But I can’t see a burial or remarriage after 1729 for Jane, unless she died in Glatton in 1700.
Gt Stukeley Marriage 25 Sept 1726 Thomas Stacy & Sarah Scodgbrook

(can’t check burials as NBI only starts at 1801 for Gt Stukeley)
Papworth St Agnes 5 Nov 1751 Marriage Valentine Stacy of Gt Stukeley and Dorothy Ingram of this parish
Glatton 1752 (no date) Elizabeth dau of Valentine and Dorothy
Godmanchester 19 Jan 1755 Mary ditto
Godmanchester 20 Feb 1757 Thomas ditto
Godmanchester 2 Mar 1759 Elizabeth ditto
Godmanchester 12 Sept 1762 Richard ditto (buried 14 Feb 1763, infant)

Sarah Scodgebrook
A GenesReunited member named Sandra has Thomas Stacey and Sarah Scodgbrook in her tree. Do you know her? If not, and if you’re not a member of GeRe would you like me to contact her – if so perhaps you could send me a personal message with your email and I’ll ask her to contact you.
I can’t see where Sarah was from – it doesn’t appear to have been Gt Stukeley, which is where the only Scodgbrooks on both the IGI and BVRI were from, and there are no Scodgbrook burials anywhere in the UK on the NBI. Googling comes up with nothing. It’s possible that the name is so unusual that there’s a spelling variation that’s not picked up by soundex. Aha! Scotchbrook
There are baptisms of a number of Scotchbrooks in Gt Stukeley 1702-1711 where the father is Johannis with what appears to be 3 wives – Ann, Elizabeth, and Maria. It’s such an unusual name that Sarah must come from this family I’d have thought. I only have the marriage index from 1701 onwards – perhaps someone else has the pre 1701 index to check for Gt Stukeley marriages. Ruth, do you have this early index??? (Also need marriage c 1685 John Stac(e)y and Jane)
Dorothy Ingram
Can’t find her baptism but there is a gap in the Papworth St Agnes Register from 1731 to 1743 ; and there are no transcripts at Ely for these years. Also married in Papworth St Agnes were Rebecca 1751; Anne 1752 and Hannah 1756, so it seems as though there was a family in the village. But there were a lot of Ingrams in Hunts and Cambs. Unfortunately Cambs burials are mainly covered on the NBI from 1801-37, with not many parishes earlier than this, so reference to the parish register for Papworth St Agnes is needed. If I was still living in London I had this microfilm on permanent loan at the LDS, but I’m now in France!
Hannah Rayner
This doesn’t appear to have been a Godmanchester name – burials pre 1800 were in the Kimbolton/ Gt Staughton area. I can pick up no other leads as to where she might have been from.
Hannah Jackson
No baptism in Chatteris, and nothing obvious there, although there is a burial in 1789 of William Jackson, carpenter, pauper, which may be entirely coincidental. Hannah is described as a spinster on marriage. There’s a Hannah Stacey burial at Ramsey on 13 April 1829 age 60 which would fit.
Ruth – Ramsey isn’t covered on the BVRI – I don’t suppose in your transcript that there’s a baptism of Hannah Jackson c1769 by any chance?
Hope this helps
A merry Christmas to all
David
