I am looking for an old friend of mine from Columbus, Ohio. We lost track of each other about 50 years ago and I would so much like to see her again before it is too late.She married a man named Loftus (Ithink that he was her first husband) then she diverced him and married a man by the name of David Burdick. Betty Lou Rist was her maiden name. Betty had one daughter when I last talked to her. I think that she originally came from Ironton, Ohio. Her fathers name was Clyde and her mothers name was Ruby. She had an older sister named Myra and a younger sister named Barbara. She lived in Columbus until she was about 17-18 and then moved to Detroit, Michigan. Myra married a man named Joe Menduni and later divorced him and married his half borther, Winter. I don't know his first name. They also had a brother named Clyde and they called him Junior. Betty would be approximatly 65-66. Anyone knowing anything about this family please contact me at beverlymurrayhummel@earthlink.net Thank you.

How goes it with this Ely property?

Gabriel Leggett the great-grandfather of the first American Gabriel Leggett. He was born in the middle years of the reign of Henry VIII. The first reference to him appears in the records of Clare College of Cambridge University which leased him a house in 1565.
The house he leased was part of the buildings of the medieval Hospital of St. John the Baptist, a former leprosarium granted to the college in 1561. Clare College converted the twelfth-century chapel (a substantial structure measuring forty-one by twenty-five feet) into a dwelling of two stories with four fireplaces. This building still stands, west of the town center. Here the Gabriel Leggett family lived with both the Thomas and John families occupying it simultaneously.
In September of 1995, my father and mother, John Milton and Ellin North Ratcliffe Leggett, visited Ely and met the current owners, Roger and Yvonne Runciman, brother and sister, who showed them around the property. They took at least eight photographs, copies of which have been in my possession since January of 1996.
The images show the Runcimans and my father posing before the exterior of the building, obviously a converted chapel with bricked-up gothic arched windows and doors. Interior shots also show arches, columns and bosses of the old chapel, along with two of the added fireplaces the Leggetts would have used. It has been some time since this structure was used for human habitation. The roof leaks, plaster has fallen, and it seems largely vacant except for some storage.

He was the son of William Knowles Garner * 1808-01-14 and Ann Page. My problem is to define the parents of W.K. Garner * 1808-10-14. He was the son of one of the undermentioned couples:
1. Mary Garner = 1788-04-20, Ely Holy Trinity (daughter of Joseph & Sarah Garner?)
OR
2. Mary Garner = 1789-05-01, St. Mary's, Ely (daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Garner?)

In both cases the father was William Knowles (surname = KNOWLES) At the Cambridge County Offices in England I found a William Knowles (bachelor) + 1822-04-18, St. Mary's x 1809-08-13, St. Mary's MARY GARNER (spinster)

Recently, I received a copy of my gggg grandfather's will, Samuel Green.

It was found in the Index to the Consistory Court of Ely Probate Records 1449-1858, dated September 23, 1839 and proven by the Lord Bishop of Ely on the June 16, 1840.

Samuel was probably born in approx. 1780 because it is stated that he died at the age of 60 on Feb. 1, 1840. He married Susanna BILLET on August 5, 1806 in March in the Isle of Ely in the county of Cambridgeshire. Samuel was a miller/farmer. I believe his father was a miller, also. They had several children, all baptized in March. Their names as followed:

Samuel Billet, Frederic, Cornwell, Susanna, Catherine, Charles, Anthony Edward, Caroline, Theodore Billet, Matilda Sarah Jane, and Mary Ann.

Information on Samuel and Susanna’s children are as follows:

I know that Samuel Billet married Emma FOUNTAIN and had one child that died at a very young age. I think they had at least one for child – Frederick Billet GREEN, born around 1846 in March. He is mentioned in the 1881 census being 35 years of age. A wife, Emma,
age 35 and a daughter, Susan Kate, age 8, and sons, Fred William, age 7, Samuel Billett, age 5, Jabez Charles, age 3, and Sidney Walter, age 2 months, all born in March.

Frederic was my ggg grandfather. I know most of the history on him. He left England from a port in Boston in Lincolnshire and sailed to Canada. He arrived in Canada in July 1833. He married Agnes Nancy Bell originally from Scotland.

Cornwell was mentioned in Samuel's will. At the time she wasn't married. She was baptized on May 26, 1811 in March. In the 1851 census it list her living with her mother, Susanna on High Street (Prop of Houses and Land March) I'd like to find anything else out about her that is available.

Susanna was mentioned in Samuel's will. She was baptized June 19, 1814 in March.
At the time she wasn't married. However, I do know that sometime later, she married William GOLDEN. I was reading something I got off the internet and saw a William GOLDEN listed as Governors of the March Consolidated charities. I also found a William GOLDEN, age 68 in the 1881 census. He was a retired farmer. He married a Susannah, age 68. born in March. They had two servants living with them - Annie HARRIS, age 18 from Upwell and Emily KENNY, age 14 from Wisbech.

Also in the 1881, I have another William GOLDEN, presumably their son, age 40, born
in March. He married Fanny M. age 36. I don't know her last name. William and Fanny's
children are as followed as listed on the census: Fanny M. (10), Charles A. (8), William (7), Harold (6), Juliet M (4) Ernest (3), Percy (1). All born in Elm. They also had a
governess, Helen BUTTON (23) from Caistor, Lincoln, a cook, Annie LEACH (30)
from Walsoken, Norfolk, a nursemaid, Mary BUTLER (20) from Ramsey, Huntingdon, and a housemaid, Elizabeth COLES (16) from Benefield, Northampton.

Catherine "Kate" was mentioned in Samuel's will. She was married to Orlando Horace Cooper at the time of Samuel’s will (1839). She was baptized on May 22, 1817 in March. I have no other information on her and would be interested in more if available.

Charles was either baptized on June 4, 1819 or August 10, 1824 in March. There were two Charles listed to Samuel and Susanna. I'm assuming the second date was for the Charles mentioned in Samuel's will and the first Charles died in infancy. I have no other information on him.

Anthony Edward was mentioned in Samuel's will. He was baptized on Feb 27, 1823.
However, I have no other information on him.

Theodore Billet baptized on January 3, 1826 in March. He wasn't mentioned in Samuel's will. I'm assuming he died at a young age. However, I don't have a date.

Matilda Sarah Jane was baptized on March 21, 1829 in March. I have her as being buried on Sept. 9. 1829.

Mary Ann was baptized on August 26, 1832 at the age of 19. She was buried on Sept. 13, 1832.

I was hoping that by acquiring a copy of Samuel's will, it might state who his father or his siblings were or more about his children. However, it didn't mention his father or siblings.

Therefore, I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions on where to go from here to find out that information or if any of these names sounds familiar.

Would records of land mentioned in his will, give his father's name? If so, a list of land mentioned is as followed:

- Dole in Creek in March aforesaid containing eight acres and two roods of Land late GROUNDS GOODMAN.

- New erected Messuages, or Tenements near the Bridge in March aforesaid with the ground thereto belonging called part of the "Acre Estate" now in the occupation of Burdell Phillips and Henry Richard Drew.

- Dole in Whitemoor in March aforesaid containing nine acres and two roods Land late (Frushers??)

- And those my five acres and three roods in Creek late John CROWLEYS

- Lot or Dole in Whitemoor aforesaid containing Ten acres of Land late Barns's

- 27 acres of Freehold and Copyhold Land in Norwood in March aforesaid which I purchased of Mess Edmund BARLEY and William PRATT the Trustees for Sale under the will of Mary BARLEY deceased.

- All those my eight Cottages or Tenements in Whittle and Norwood side and Outwell and in March

- 9 acres of Land in West Fen called Impey's Piece

- Stock in Trade Cattle Corn Cropping Farming Utensils


Any help in finding my ggggg grandparents and their other children would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be looking forward to hearing from you!!

Thanks!!

I am still trying to find the connection between my Knightall and the other Nightall..I know that my William Knightall and one of the William Nightalls are one in the same..I have two William Nightalls..born in 1826/7 in Ely..one to William and Mary Nightall..another to a William and Mary Ann Clark..and then there is the one that is son to Zachariah Nightall and Sarah Haylock. Which family does he belong to?He married a Rosetta Sheppard..she was from Market Harborough..baptised in 1828..Her mother is a Sarah Sheppard..Where did they marry? I could not find them at Holy Trinity..(unless I missed it..) nor Littleport..as far as I know..or Northampton where they moved to after they married..(for some reason or another..) William started out as a shoe finisher..and all of his children started out that way as well. He later became a beer seller..(a Publican)We find William and his family in the 1851,1871,1881 census..I have his death certificate..but cannot find out who his father is..All of these men were born in Ely...
Any person with the name Nightall/Knightall/Nightle/Nital are all related..Thank you ..Cretia Olsen in Alaska.
