Good Morning All
I am nudging this up for Moonbi, because yesterday she had posted on the Surname board, and I asked her to put it on here where, hopefully, it would gain more attention.
Moonbi is one of our new Aussie posters to GR
My interest was that I have had a little bit of a connection to Thorrney, which is the Huguenot settlement in Cambs. But, not everyone coming from Thorney were Huguenot's, and similarly, not every Huguenot had a French sounding name. This is just a clue as an aid to anyone helping Moonbi.
Also, Newborough and Eye, are two separate 'hamlets' very close to Dogsthorpe and Paston, in a little hook of land, which borders Cambs, Lincs, and Northamptonshire, and I have found records being transcribed puttting these places in any of these counties. Baptisms in St John's Baptist, Peterborough, have featured heavily in my searches of this are.
I hope these clues may help someone to help Moonbi
