I am researching my Uncle's family tree. His grandmother was Mabel Hinkins and although she was born in Pancras, London, her brothers - Horace and Albert were born in Cambridge. (The family had moved to Cambridge from Melbourn and then later, to Pancras) Their parents were Thomas Carter Hinkins and Emma Elizabeth Hinkins (nee Gentle). Thomas was born in Melbourn but Elizabeth was born in Orwell. Thomas was from a family of eight born to Joseph and Susan Hinkins (nee Carter) who were both born in Melbourn.
Please does anyone have any knowledge of the descendants of this family who might still be living in the area?

I have discovered that on the 1881 and 1891 censuses that my ancestor, Rev William Higgins was a baptist mininster in Melbourn. Does anyone have any information relating to him and his work?

I am researching the Ellis family of Melbourn c 1750 - 1830. Jane Ellis (1784-c1837)was the daughter of Jonathan Ellis (1857- c1827)and Susannah Wood( both of Sheene Mill c1800). Jane married my ancestor John Pocklington, millwright (unrelated to John Pocklingtons of Heckington Mill, Lincs)in 1804 in Kent. Jane had three siblings incl Jonathan and Mary. Jonathan Ellis snr is referred to in the village Chronicle regarding the theft of his sail. It appears that Jonathan Ellis died around 1826/7;the death of his son is also recorded The sale of Jonathan senior's effects is noted in a sale document - but I can fine no record of either his death or of his will.
Any further information is welcomed.

My maternal grandmother(Mary Jane Pryor, born around 1877) was from Melbourn. Apparently her father (or grandfather?) was a pork butcher.
She married a stationer from South London, Alfred Poole,in (August?)1903, and then moved to London.
Does anyone have any knowledge of the family? Apparently the name Bunten is also linked to her family.
Any information would be much appreciated.

Any information concerning the Stanford Family who resided in Melbourne between 1800 and 1900. G G Grandparents were David Stanford (b 1809) and Sarah nee Ward who lived in Mill lane (B 1815) and G Grandparents Ward Stanford (b 1845) and Mary Ann (b 1844) nee Hammond.

I am trying to find friends, old work colleagues of David & Doris Herne, who lived in Melbourn from around the mid/late 1960's, but before this they lived at Flint Cross, when they married in 1961.
David was a bus driver, I believe on the 108 route that went between Royston and Cambridge. I think he also worked for a transport/haulage company in or around Melbourn.
I would be interested to hear from anyone with information and pictures.
Many thanks
