I also am researching RICHARDSON in Warboys, but much earlier
than yourself. My great great great grandfather was William CLACK
born at Warboys in 1789, son of William & Hannah CLACK (nee
MIDDLETON). William CLACK born c.1752, son of Jonathon and
Catherine CLACK(nee RICHARDSON), who were married at
Warboys on 13 July 1742.
Catherine CLACK died 1769 and her son John CLACK inherited
family property at Turf Fen that year.
Catherine RICHARDSON was baptised at Warboys on 1 April
1722, daughter

There is a Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire.... is this possibly a phonetic

Would anyone be kind enough to look up any Woolf or Wolfe or Wolfe family
in the 1891 census for Stretham, please? I know that the family was there in
the early part of the 1900s and am wondering if I can see them there any
earlier. I'd much appreciate any help as I'm a long way from cambridge!

Is there anyone out there that would be able to do a lookup on Samuel
Green's will?
The info can be found in the Consistory Court of Ely Probate Records
1449-1858.
GREEN, Samuel, March, Doddington, miller, farmer, VC56:81, 1840 CW
It is said that his will is dated September 23, 1939 and proven in the
Consistory Court of the Lord Bishop of Eli on the 16th day of June, AD

need to know who he mentions in his will and what relati

Hello:
Someone some time ago was asking about a rector of Thorney Abbey. Not sure
either of these are the one, but...
"Tombstone Inscriptions in Thorney Abbey"
"The Rev. John HUNT, Master of Arts, Curate of the Donative of
Thorney...rector
of Benefield in the County of Northampton. He died M...1807 aged [looks
like 65] years"
"The Rev. Thos. WHICH, A.B. sometime curate of this parish he died [some
woodwork connected with the west door covers the remainder of this
inscription.]"

Hi Listers:
I have just viewed the OPR transcripts from Gamlingay and Burrough
Green,
Cambridgeshire, England and noted the following entries for BURTON.
Note the following abbreviations: bac = bachelor, spins = spinster (i.e.
previously unmarried woman), otp = of this parish, botp = both of this
parish.
Hope you find some of your "rellies" here.
Happy hunting,
Hilary near Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Hi All
Would like to publicly thank Wendy Doyle of this list for sorting out my 2
Henry Barnards mentioned earlier this week. Wendy found both Henrys on the
1851 census, one of them with his father and his wife, so now I know which
Henry is which. Didn't think it possible, so it proves where there's a will
(or a census).......
