A further attempt at tidying up loose ends, although I still haven't found the link to my own tree.
Tracey above spotted mother and daughter Sparke visiting the Fleets in 1871.
freebmd suggests Caroline Collin & James Sparke married June 1844 which would be a possible for Rebecca born 1850. I ordered the birth certificate and this confirms parents James & Caroline, birth for Rebecca 10 September 1849.
GR finds Rebecca in 1851 & 1871 census, the 1871 is the record we have already seen with her visiting Martha Fleet, in 1851 she is with her parents Caroline 1825 & James 1824, and sister Elizabeth 1848.
I have yet to find a link between the Collin / Sparke family and the Parrs / Fleets.

Ah the witnesses! How useful, thanks Chris! But it's Mary Ann Collin, and not Rebecca or Caroline, I wonder how she fits in!! Rebecca's sister was Elizabeth ...
And then there's John Collins & William Collen - same family maybe?
So what's your guess? Friend of the family or related?
Thanks again Chris, these records have added to my tree, I'd only found partners for James Royal & Martha so far.

Might be worth a google Keith, as FMP usually have free trial offer going...think you would be busy!.
Quite a few Collins?Collens about, also in Soham, as you look around on Census.
Chris :)
