Comments: What is the height of the Nave and the tower?
Comments: What a wonderful record. Thank you Rev Fulford and his succesors. Do you have a copy of the original?
Comments: You have a really interesting site, especially as I am a descendant of Caleb Payne.
Comments: Appreciate the site. I am a descendent of John "Pap" and Sarah Blowes through son Arthur. Rev Fulford was made Bishop of Montréal about 1850 when the diocese was created. He founded Bishop's College (now university) to provide candidates for the priesthood rather than going to the SPG in England.
Comments: My interest is The King family - Particularly the family etc of MONTFORD KING
Comments: Hi Very interesting document. It's been very helpful to us at Gamlingay History Society. We came across a couple of old photos from 1937 of Croydon Towers and having not heard of Croydon Wilds we wondered where it was and if it still stood. The Speculum Gregis answered our questions.
Comments: Visited Croydon this week to learn about my family roots and the churchwarden pointed me in the direction of this brilliant source. I am the great, great, great grandson of John and Bathsheba Hagger. I have yet to go though all this in detail but thought I would let people know I would be interested to hear about anything related to the Hagger family and willing to share anything from my end - though at this stage is limited, many thanks Andrew
Comments: I am a descendant of Samuel George (farmer) and Sarah Ann Youngman. The "Mr Youngman" married by Charles King's sister, Henrietta, was Thomas Haylock Youngman. Their father, Robert Youngman was a miller and farmer (later gent) in Waterbeach. Their mother (the first of his four wives!) was Mary Ann Cross. She was the daughter of Haylock Cross of Paxton and aunt of Charles King's wife, Emily Cross. What small circles they all moved in! Sadly, everyone mentioned here died young except for my ancestors. Sam slid down the social scale after selling his farm, becoming a land surveyor and grocer's porter before dropping "out of employment" altogether. He died in Wisbech in 1894, aged 82. westwoodfamilyhistory.co.uk
Comments: Hello, I've been doing some research on some of my ancestors, the Hagger family of Bourn. I've come to a standstill at William Hagger who was supposedly born/baptised in either Croydon Clopton or East Hatley in 1745/6. He was allegedly descended from the Hagger family who occupied Bourn Hall for some 200 years. If anybody has information on William and his ancestors, it would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Steve.
Comments: Thank you for such an informative site. I have discovered some new information about the 'Presland' family. My GG Grandmother 'Rhoda Presland" married John Wright in Pitt Town Australia. Rhoda immigrated to Australia with her family in about 1844, she was 8 years old on the ship 'Templar'.
Comments: What a terrific resource this is. My mother's maternal line is Law, and the information regarding Croydon, and the insights into the Law families has helped bring the family story alive. Thanks
Comments: Thank you so much for making this documentation available. It's an amazing resource, and an invaluable aid in researching my family, which is connected to the Blowes.
Comments: Hello, this is just wonderful! I have found my Endersbey ancestors. Thank you so much for making this available to all.
Comments: Fond memories of this book - as it was my sister who was involved in the original project and my mother who typed up the original copy.
Comments: This is a fascinating website. I'm a great-great-great grandson of John Blowes, through his son Alfred Blowes, one of the two sons mentioned who immigrated to Manitoba, Canada (where our family still resides). I appreciate the photo of John in our family's entry, and thank the person who submitted it. This website provides an absolutely amazing view of everyday life in mid 19th-century rural agrarian England. Keep up the great work!
Comments: Excellent site Steve! I came across the Speculum Gregis a few years ago and then it kind of disappeared. To happen upon your revamp was a great surprise.
Comments: Fantastic site, spotted a few areas where I can fill in the gaps as I have the parish records for CCC as transcribed Cambs FHS on cd rom.
Comments: Hi, what a great find. I'm researching my family tree and am a descendant of the Lee family of Croydon. My grandmother was Florence Lee née Chapman, she was the daughter of Arthur Lee b1876 also of Croydon. Arthur was the son of Albert Lee b. 1854. Alberts father was David Lee b.1830. The family didn't seem to move around much and they all lived at Croydon cum Clopton. I'm hoping to find out where David came from (I believe it may be Potton, Bedfordshire). Would love to hear from any of my "family" to help fill in the gaps.
Comments: A distant relative sent this site to me. It holds a wealth of information about my Howe and Lee family. Thank you. Carolyn Unger
