Did you check the IGI which has to be the first place to look for any baptism/marriage? Cupid's baptism is on the IGI (controlled extract) - Balsham parish register up to 1875 has been extracted. You can access the IGI and isolate the Balsham entries using http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle

According to the marriage entry on the IGI Emma Plum's father was James, and her baptism in 1834 is also there

You can also find a lot of information on the Cambs FHS website at http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html   The baptism index includes Cupid (just put in Fuller and Balsham), but his parents are John and Amy.  The site includes census indexes for Cambs as well as baptism and burial indexes.

Morning,  I did see the IGI entries with Cupid's (& other Fullers of Balsham) parents being John & Amy.  Which threw me a bit, after the 1841 census has his mother as Emma.  Cannot see family on 1851.

yes it does get confusing..i have seen some records with Amy,others have Amey, and others still have Emmy....her surname was apparently Morley so that might help track down a proper first name for her ...possible anyway....
