They had a son William born 1770 in Whittlesea Cambridgeshire England died 1869

I can not seem yo find anything out about Laurence Desborough, so any help again would be great folks

the story in my family is that Oliver Cromwell is an ancestor - always referred to as Uncle Ollie!!!! could be quite a possibility and apparently someone way back in the family traced back to him - I am in Cardiff and Cromwell did have quite an association with Whitchurch where I live and all my family hail from - something to do with my maiden name Williams I am told

For what it's worth, in my opinion the prospect of tracing all these children forward is unrealistic, and nobody else will do it I suspect!
Might be better to ask for assistance tracing your family back if you are stuck.

(snippet below from above link)


Desborough died in 1680. By his first wife, Cromwell's sister, he had one daughter and seven sons; he married a second wife in April 1658 whose name is unrecorded.

I thought that, but decided on it being too obvious :-D

Well, assuming we are talking about the well-known Oliver Cromwell, it's 17th century!
i do not see any way someone can do this for you, at least no more than you can do yourself - the only way is to trace your family right back, quite possible but a considerablr undertaking.
You have to work back rather than forward I think.

Marjorie Report 7 Sep 2011 09:49

OK lets see if anyone can help me with this, there has always been a story in our family that on my Mums side, the Desboroughs we came down from Major John, he married twice the first time to Jane Cromwell and had two sons and one daughter, this can be found on any site that has him on,or his brother in law Oliver Cromwell, but he married again and had seven children by his 2nd wife, all the site's will also tell you this BUT who was she and what were her children called, I can not find out or what sex they were, I have come against a brick wall on this.

The two sons he had by Jane emirgated to Amercia, and if they came back I can find no record, maybe I am not looking in right place

So any help would be lovely, as would like to put this story to bed
