If you can help, are there any more ways to find their ancestors?
I can't go back to the curate for more information as I am currently without cash -

Any info you could send or any other pathways would be appreciated, even if it's a no- goer I will look for more.
Stevens is a name - and I have been looking for all of the families for a while now and hope that it gets more family members, as I have been researching for quite a few years.
Sorry to be a pain, but I would like to know and confirm the families.

With Kindest regards,

Jayne

Don't think I've done a lot Jayne lol, only adding above Thomas Harber details from below, which is free for you to use...

That's a whole lot of Stevens there!, and the name probably varies too, the only other thing to suggest for when you can afford to, would be getting the Wisbech Parish CD, from below collection.
