Find Ancestors

Hi to every one,
here I am again after a long week with school productions etc
Its saturday, and the rain has set in again
Supposed to be the start of spring and we have flood warnings today.!
so, so sorry to confuse you all by not stating my sources.
the number one error for all historians. I know you cant read my mind, so I dont know why I omitted it.
So here I go at trying to correct my mistake

I have not got any CD of parish records
so
using the words Eye and Peterbro' district
I have been looking in Pilot search, yes it is online.
found this reference in another thread and decided to check it out.

pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
this is where the, batch no and volume/ page numbers, I got are from.
I was doing this to find who was connected to who, and I began to like the way it is set out, quite easy to decifer.
Then I went back to
free reg.org.uk
to check for the marriages of my ggg fathers siblings, and found out that one can click on the highlighted page number and people on the same page come up.
Then I used this same idea in the deaths, and then births, and found Rebecca and Susannah.

The helps info then suggests that a cross check be done against the various census to confirm the marriage partners, families.
and that's where I'm up to today.

so lately the main sources I am using are:
Online
1.Free bmd.org.uk
(freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search/pl)

2. Free reg.org.uk
3. Family search IGI
and children of the same parents facility
4. Pilot family search
5. Genesreunited census records
6. parloc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk (which clarified parishes within radius of a location)

I did check out "find my past" but didn't find anything extra that was useful to me.

Hard copies
PDF Info on the family tree sent from Torney Heritage museum in UK
PDF Family tree info sent from a Sutton family member in QLD Australia; similar details as THorney listed. confirming most connections.

I'm still waiting for a reply to my request from Marilyn Ponting of Northants, but it did say it might be about 2-3 weeks before I got a reply.
Chris, thanks for looking in Cambridge records office, thomas is in the Eye St Matthews parish church records

regards from Annette

Sorry Folks, didn't mean to confuse! :-))
The only Parish Records online are on CFHS online Database, Baptisms and Burials, 1801 - 1837. some Parishes are on Find my Past BMD's, but not all.

I'm not familiar with Thorney, Eye, Peterborough area, but can see how it seems to stretch over the different Counties, with it's location, Huntingdonshire nearby too, not an easy one! :-)) Fenland I call it, lol.

Irene, that was my same thought. No wonder I can't find the Turners I am looking for.

Hi Annette

re your last post -
can you tell me the source of

Batch no. 104906-9
sub district registrars Peterbro' Vol 15 page 284

Please

Irene in Spain

Hi hilary
when you went to the newborough cemetery, did you by chance see a grave for Rebecca Sutton buried in February 1847 age 19 years?
I think I have her as my ggg fathers sister
and it looks to me as if she was unmarried, yet had a daughter Susannah, buried same time as her,
both females under the same reference
Batch no. 104906-9
sub district registrars Peterbro' Vol 15 page 284

Hilary I sent a PM to you this morning. Thanking you so much for the photos of the Sutton graves in Newborough cemetery.

Thanks also to Marina, who sent a PM, your info was very helpful confirming that St Matthews is indeed the parish church in Eye.
Im so glad you had not thrown out your book by Rev Randall on the history of Eye.
William could indeed be Thomas' brother. Yet to confirm if they both had the same parents. Still waiting for reply from Northants Lookups.

best wishes to all
Annette

Hi Annette, the English death certificates don't give parents names. It will tell you his death date, husband of etc, where he died, what cause of death & the informant. Scottish ones much more informant. Did'nt get away for a few days because of lousy weather so let me know if you want me to send you photos.
Hilary. x

Hi
havent been able to check in the last few days as things have been frantic.
Ive been thinking that I need to get the death cert for Thomas 1877
and was wondering if it would give info on his parents.

Network connection to genesR is so slow to day.

Ladies
using the source from A vision of Britain one can access old maps.
I looked at the earliest one "Ordnance Survey and Ordnance Survey of Scotland First Series" and closed in on the Thorney/ Eye/Newborough area using zoom and I found Great Towers Fen.

It was/is located on the road that went from Eye to Thorney.
On the left was an oblong shape tract of land just as the road came into Thorney. that land was called Great towers Fen.

Above that was Little towers Fen and to the east was Cobblers Fen and north of Cobblers Fen was Fish Fen.
This map is very interesting.
The olden days were pretty interesting heh?
Annette

Hello Hilary, I'll send the info. by PM, soon, when I have looked at my file of wills for exact dates.
Many,many thanks for this offer

LOL Irene, mine are strictly Camb., Northants., and Lincs.

Take Care Now

All the info addresses

Irene

Hi Julie, no problems looking in Eye for you, might take me a few weeks. Are you after any Turners or particular ones. Away for a few days but will look in when I get back.
Hilary x

Morning Hilary, and Moonbi. Hilary I wished I had know you were going to Newborough, so soon. I would have asked you to look for some Turners buried in Eye. Maybe when you go that way again.
Speaks later
Julia in Derbyshire

Thats awesome Hilary
really appreciate your generosity.
will send PM in a week after you get back

annette

I Googled Great Towers Fen, comes up with some info. It probably was a cottage in the middle of nowhere, lots of them in those days.

,Evening Ladies, well, I went to Newborough Churchyard today & BINGO, found Thomas's grave. Ann is also buried in same grave. Not very easy to read as it really weathered. Also found grave of Isaac Sutton & wife Myret. A Richard Palmer Sutton & wife Charlotte, this one more recent, 1935., so sad as they died 4 days apart. I have taken photos of each grave if you would like them Annette. You can PM me & send me your e-mail. I am going away for a few days tom. as I have a week off work so can send pics when I get back.
Hilaryx

Sorry Moonbi, nothing showing on my map of the area, for Great Towers Fen. Maybe someone else can see it.
Time you was in bed, you'll have square eys LOL
