Find Ancestors

Help please

Edward HANCOCK = Mary CORNWELL m. 17 Oct 1768 All Saints Fulbourn Cambs UK.

This couple had several children - including two children named MARY baptised at All Saints, Fulbourn CAMBS - in 1777 and in 1782.

I *assume* this means the FIRST Mary died as an infant or young child. I cannot find this death/burial 1777-1782.

Help please.

I presume you've found the "My threads" tool in the left margin, near the top.

If you edit any of your posts, you also get the option of editing the thread's title.
NB Do not delete the first post. Doing so causes the thread to vanish.

If you get the GRO index records on this site (indeed, any site), they won't determine the spouse before 1912q1.

However, it's not the only index of civil regos for Cambridge - also online is the local index, which does name spouses:
http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/community/bmd/certificate/Camdex/

Here's an example - Daniel Smith 1837q4
Now I can see the other names on that page (which should include his spouse), but that's it

Marriages Dec 1837 (>99%)
Barber Ruth Ely 14 121
BITTEN Timothy Ely 14 121
Brown Ann Ely 14 121
CRAY Mary Ann Ely 14 121
ROGERS John Ely 14 121
SMITH Daniel Ely 14 121
TAYLOR Christopher Ely 14 121
WARNER Mary Ely 14 121

But a look up on Camdex gets:

Surname: SMITH
Forename: Daniel
Middle Initial:
Year of Marriage: 1837
Reference: 332/C-LIGE1/5/1
District: ELY (the Registration District in which the marriage took place)
Spouses Surname(s): WARNER

332 will mean Ely RD, and C-LIGE1 will be a code for the church, the C- probably means it's C of E, rather than Quaker or Jewish (the Registrar's own register is the only other choice pre-1898).

Not seeing a Burial either...don't suppose it's mistranscribed in any way?, (can't search by first name only on Parish Records, would be on your cd, odd eh?)

Chris :)

@ mgnv.

Thanks. Really appreciate your tips and mini-tutorial. Great help. :-)
Oh for similar before 1837 !

@ Chris.

I guess it could be mistranscribed somehow. On the CFHS CD, for All Saints & St Vigors, I can't see a ~1777 burial for a Mary, but it shows for Oct 3, 1777, quote Susanna, 'son' of Edward & Mary unquote ... which is very odd. Edward and Mary never baptised a Susanna. There was a Susanna baptised for another couple, so one can imagine that either Susanna died, and the parents are incorrect, or Mary died, and 'Susanna' and 'son' are incorrect.

Cheers,

Colin
