Find Ancestors

I have an indexed CD with a transcript of Linton, Cambridgeshire Parish Records and can do lookups.

Hi The parish records are from 1559 to 1950. The CD is fully searchable by surname. Sue

Hi Jean I had a quick look but couldn't see any Prudence but I'll have a better look tomorrow. Sue

Hi Sue Great to hear someone else is looking up family in that area, they actually lived in West Wratting but Linton is close enough for them to have moved to. The name is Vale and I would be really grateful for any info you could find especially marriages and deaths. Good luck with your search Rosemary

Dear All I am not going to get a chance to look until Sunday as going out tonight, and busy tomorrow. But, I will get back to you by the end of the weekend. Sue

Hi Rosemary I bought the parish records to look for Thomas Gatward but he is not there! He actually married at West Wratting to Mary Ann Smoothy on 24/03/1824.

Hi, could you look up the birth/baptism of Henry Brown born in 1843. Does it give any details of his parents? Thankyou very much. Vanessa

Hi Vanessa Sorry, no-one of that name. I checked a few years around that date but still nothing. There are other Browns, if you are interested. Regards Sue

Hi Sue Do you have any mention of the surname TWINN? Sorry to be so vague but I'm not sure what area of Cambs they originated in. Thanks very much for looking - much appreciated. Jenny

Hi Jennifer There are about 10 TWINN baptisms going back to the 1600's. Have you got any names specifically that you are looking for or do you need a list of them all? Regards Sue

Hi Sue would be very grateful if you could list all the TWINNs as I've not not got very far with them. A cousin promised to let me have what research he'd done about 2 years ago but it never materialised! Many thanks Jenny
