Hi Susan

Can't be of much direct help but I did have some help on one of my St Neots lot from a lovely person on these boards called Dot. It might be worth putting St Neots in your title.

Many thanks Jill, Margaret and Ann.
We've found this information; have found Hezekiah as a Boarder in Oxford in 1871,but are hoping someone can point us to his family pre 1871.
