M. Blagg, F.S.A. CAMBRIDGESHIRE PARISH REGISTERS nDardagee. VII. PHILLIMORE's parish register series. Vol. ccxxvi. (Cambridgeshire, vol. vii.)» Only one hundred and fifty printed. : Cambridgeshire Parish Registers. flfta triages. General Editor : THOS. M. BLAGG, F.S.A. VOL. VII. Edited by EVELYN YOUNG, M.A., Curate of Fen Drayton. ILonfcon Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., Ltd., 124, Chancery Lane. 1916. Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center http://www.archive.org/details/cambridgeshirepa07phil PREFACE As before, the abstracts of Marriages from the three Registers in this volume have all been made by Mr. Evelyn Young and collated by him with the Transcripts at Ely to supply entries which are now missing from the original registers. When the information so obtained has given different readings of existing entries, or further particulars concerning them, these have been inserted within square brackets in italic type. The same contractions are used as in the earlier volumes of the series ±379056 It has, unfortunately, been found necessary to revise the abstracts of Marriages in the Registers of St. Edward's, Cam- bridge, printed in the first volume of this series, and the additions and corrections thereby brought to light have been printed at the end of this volume. It should be remembered that previous to 1752 the year was calculated as beginning on the 25th of March, instead of the 1 st of January, so that a marriage taking place on say 20th February, 1625, would be on that date in 1626, according to our reckoning; but as the civil and ecclesiastical year were both used, this is sometimes expressed by 20th Feb., i62|. In all cases where the marriage is stated to have taken place by Licence, that fact is recorded, as the searcher thereby knows that further information as to the age, parentage and vocation of the parties is probably recoverable from the Allegations in the Archdeaconry or other office from which the Licence issued. Thanks are due to the clergy for the facilities they have given for the preparation of this volume. Their names are mentioned under the respective parishes. VI. It may be well to remind the reader that these printed abstracts of the Registers are not legal " evidence." For certificates application must be made to the local clergy. In issuing this, the seventh volume of the Cambridgeshire Marriages, the Editors wish to draw attention to the General Index to the first six volumes, prepared by Miss O. E. Mark- well, under the supervision of the General Editor. This volume is now in the press, and will be the third of a series of General Indexes to the entire series of Phillimore's Marriage Registers, the first two being to Cornwall, I. —VI., and Lincolnshire I. —VI. respectively. Of these Index volumes only one hundred copies are being printed, and these will be issued at one guinea each. Each volume contains about 200 pages of close, double-columned type, and comprises a complete index to the combined contents of six volumes of the Marriage Registers, that is to say, references to from 50,000 to 60,000 persons—each person being fully indexed under surname and Christian name, on a plan arranged by the General Editor. The support of subscribers is earnestly appealed for, in order that this useful and essential supplementary work may be continued. T. M. B. E. Y. 124, Chancery Lane, London, June, 1916. ^^ Contents.

Note.—There are no registers now to be found, belonging to this Parish, earlier than 1754. From that date to 1812 the registers are kept in two manuscript volumes, both of which measure about 1 5 by %h inches. In the former of these, Baptisms and Burials are entered to 1798, Marriages to 1791, and Banns to 1787. In the latter the entries are continued to 1812, but there are no further entries of Banns. The entries of Marriages in these two volumes were extracted by the Rev. E. Young, by kind permission of the late Vicar, the Rev. T. K. Allen. The earlier Marriages, from 1599 onwards, have been taken from the Transcripts at Ely; but after 1639 the series of these is very irregular. The Marriages from 1813 to 1837 have been extracted also by Mr. Young, by kind permission of the present Vicar, the Rev. F. B. Gwinn. They are contained in two volumes; the former, from 1813 to 1827, has 300 printed forms, all of which have been used the latter, a very thick volume, completes the period up to 30th June, 1837, the last entry being made on form No. 521. It will be seen, therefore, that the Marriage records give clear indica- tions of the great growth of population which had set in during this period. The original Parish of Barnwell, now largely sub- divided, had a population in 1801 of little more than 300; in 1901 it was about 25,000. Cambridge—VII. B Cambridgeshire Parish Registers.

    Littleport Scrapbook 1897-1990 by Mike Petty Littleport Scrapbook 1897-1990 Extracts from ‘A Cambridgeshire Scrapbook’, compiled by Mike Petty 16 Nov 2016 Introduction Each evening from March 1997 to March 2015 I compiled a ‘Looking Back’ column in the Cambridge News in which I feature snippets from issues of 100, 75, 50 and 25 years ago. I sought out unusual items relating to villages and areas of Cambridge not usually featured These stories are from issues of the Cambridge Daily/Evening/Weekly News of 1897-1990 I can supply actual copies of many of these articles – please contact me. The full set of articles, numbering over 3,000 pages is available at bit.ly/CambsCollection The newspapers are held in the Cambridgeshire Collection together with other Cambridge titles back to 1762. They have a variety of indexes including a record of stories for every village in Cambridgeshire between 1770-1900 and newspaper cuttings files on 750 topics from 1958 to date. I initiated much of the indexing and have many indexes of my own. Please feel free to contact me for advice and assistance. For more details of newspapers and other sources for Cambridgeshire history see my website www.mikepetty.org.uk This index was produced as a part of my personal research resources and would benefit by editing. If you can make any of it work for you I am delighted. But remember you should always check everything! Please make what use of it you may. Please remember who it came from Mike Petty.

    Cambridge Judge Business School 1 REACH Ely Case Study Series Reimagining Churches as Community Assets for the Common Good ST MARY THE VIRGIN FEN DITTON Text, design, photography REACH Ely (Reimagining Churches as 2 Dr Timur Alexandrov Community Assets for the Common Good) Cambridge Centre for Social Innovation is a multi-partner research project that Cambridge Judge Business School aims to help communities make fuller use of their churches. Editorial board The project is implemented by Dr Helen Haugh Centre for Social Innovation at Cambridge Centre for Social Innovation Cambridge Judge Business School Cambridge Judge Business School and the Diocese of Ely Geoffrey Hunter with the generous support of Allchurches Trust Diocese of Ely and Historic England www.reachely.org The challenges facing church communities and their buildings have been extensively studied in the light of declining church attendance in the United Kingdom over several decades. REACH Ely aims to address the less-well-understood opportunities for churches to engage and reconnect with the 97.7 per cent of the local communities in the Diocese of Ely who do not attend their parish churches. With the absence of universal determinants of success and failure of churches in the community engagement context, the REACH Ely project will provide an understanding of the relationship between communities and wider use of church buildings as well as the contribution that churches make to the common good. The project will determine community values, needs and opportunities that can be used in the most effective way to ensure a win-win outcome for communities and sustainable future of church buildings.
