Looking at what Margaret has offered i would also like to offer my services. I live in Haddenham in Cambridge. If anyone would like me to visit any local cemetery then mail me and i will try to help out. I will not charge for this help just happy to offer as i know how frustrating it can be when you live so far away having been helped myself by a kind lady on the Isle of Wight. Let me know if i can do anything. Nick Cambridge

Hello Nick. A slightly different request. My great GM, ann Pettifer, (nee ?) was born in Royston, Cambs. in 1837. Cannot find Royston on the map. Can you tell me if it exists and roughly where it is? Thanks, John Ranger

John, there's a Royston in Hertfordshire and is just outside Cambridge. Go to www.multimap(.)com. You will have to remove the brackets I have added. Crista

I can cover most cemeteries in the Cambridge area and also the American Cemeterty in Cambridge where the WW1 & WW2 American service men are honoured. I would be able to take pictures and mail them as well. Nick
