Hello, I am Hilary I am a Rule. While searching for my family on the census records I seem to remember coming accross Thomas and Elizabeth. And although not directly connected I think there is a link somewhere. most of the rule came from Balsham as it was a farming community. some moved into the London suburds like mine they moved to Bromley area. I could never understand why I had a lot of photos of cambridge, especially Balsham with relatives that I know nothing about. I am now beginning to understand the movement of families over the years. But it is certainly worth checking census records as this can tell you an awful lot. good hunting.
