> Hello All
>
> I am so pleased to have heard of this list and would be happy to help
things along by looking up names on the 1851 census for Leverington. I will
also be able to do look ups for Parson Drove and Wisbech, 1851 census
again, when I unpack my fiche for those areas (recently moved!). I will
post a message when I find them.

> I am interested in John and Elizabeth STANCER (nee BURROWS) who lived
Parson Drove in the 1860s and George and Mary Ann STANCER (nee GRANGER) who
lived and died Golding Street and Prospect Place, both in Wisbech, in the
1860s. John and Elizabeth moved to Lincolnshire. Mary Ann died 1863 aged
25 and George died 1868 aged 40. They had three children, Mary Ann 1856,
George 1860 and John Thomas 1861. Following their father's death in 1868
the boys show up on the 1871 census in Wisbech Workhouse. John Thomas set
up a tailoring shop with his aunt's eldest son in New Walsoken - Stancer and
Granger. I would love to know what became of his brother George and sister
Mary Ann. Both George and Mary Ann's deaths (the parents) were notified by
a Mary JARRAD (wife of John) and she was of Golding Street and then Prospect
Place, so they may have shared a house.

> I would love to hear from anybody who has come across these names.
MARRIOT was another name which married into the STANCERS.

> George, the elder, was a corn porter. Does anybody know if this would be
at the Corn Exchange in Wisbech or what the work actually involved?
