David, it's when I see detective work like that I realise I still have so much to learn!

A team effort, but flattery will get you everywhere!

Hi Dave
I've just found all the postings re John Levis.  Reuben Levis born 1824 was my  GGG Grandfather.  I have his marriage certificate - he married Mary Taylor on 09 Nov 1846 at Sawtry All Saints.  His father is recorded as John Levies, Labourer.  Both Reuben and Mary "made their mark".  Mary's father was John Taylor, but I haven't got any further back with that branch.
You may be interested in the Ramsey St Mary Index (Hunts Record Office) which lists the children of Reuben and Mary Levis.  I can give you that information if you don't already have it.  I am descended from their daughter Rachel who married Thomas Cullup.
I also have Reuben's death certificate:
Died 07 Aug 1864, Horn Drove, Ramsey.
Male, aged 40, Farm Labourer.
Carcinoma (Stomach) 12 months certified
Informant is Sarah Lay, present at the death [not identified her yet, perhaps a local nurse?]
Hope this is helpful.  We must be related!
Good luck, and keep posting!
Ruth.

Ruth, I'm sure Dave192 will see your post and be in touch with you, but as I tried (but didn't succeed) in helping on this one, can I say welcome to Rootschat - it's brilliant that you have all that information.

And a warm welcome from me too, Ruth.

Like Maggie, I didn't get too far with this one but there's always someone on here who can help.  Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Ruth

Amazing i never thought I would find a distant relation.  Rachel's brother Reuben is my GG granddad.  Following the family back from myself to John is seven generations.  I have my family tree on another site if you wish to look.  any info about Rachel's family would be great.

Dave   :) :)

Am trying to find out how to respond to your PM to send you my email address...  it doesn't want to let me reply!  Any clues would be helpful...  or perhaps you could send me your email address as I seem to have received your PM and then I can email you mine.  I think we must be fourth cousins as we share Reuben Levis (1824) as a GGG Grandfather.
Ruth.

Hi twywell.  I believe you have to post two or three times before you can send a PM.  You can try again now or make one more post and then try again.  It should then go through to dave.  Good luck !!
