Hi Paul
I live in Wisbech and I know the library has some of the parish registers on micro fiche, but there is a web site you could try
Wisbech and the Fenlands
I think the web site is http://contueor.com/wisbech/

Hello Paul

The Wisbech & Fenland Museum is designated a parochial record office & holds registers for 28 parishes, too many for me to list here but if you'd like to tell me which villages you're interested in I'll have a look on their brochure. They also hold parish chest material - vestry minutes & accounts, poor law records, tithe ditribution etc for many parishes.

Or you can phone them - 01945 583817 or e-mail them - wisbechmuseum[AT]beeb.net

Hi Paul
The horse fair is where the bus station is now. the nearest church to it is St Peter's & St Paul's , which is near the town centre. who are you looking for?.If I have a few mins to spare I could have a look for you, at the records for you.

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for the offer.

If you could look up Vincent Bouch for me. He was born approx 1814 in Wisbech.

Also, his marriage to Mary Ann ?? approx 1835.

Many Thanks,

Paul.

Hi Paul
I have booked an appointment for Monday afternoon to look at the micro fiche, will let you know if I find anything. If not will see who has the parish records and see if I can have a look at them.
