29th September 2007 Can anybody help with my family tree research My great grandmother was Mabel Annie Lincoln (known as Annie) born in Campton 1888 to John Lincoln & Jannet Lincoln (nee Heathfield) Johns' parents were Richard & Catherine Lincoln and Jannets' mother was Ann Heathfield. Both the families seem to have a history with Campton or its' surrounding villages would truly appreciate any further information anybody has or how the 'The Green' and the Lincolns were connected.

Hi <>I am trying to trace ancestors of
my
Great Grandmother, born Lucy Caroline Gregory. She was the daugheter of
George Gregory & Louisa Crouch. <>Lucy
married my Great Grandfather,
George Odell (later changed to O'Dell) who was born in Shefford. They
married at Biggleswade in 1881 and moved to Frosterley prior to 1892,
where my grandfather Freddie Odell was born. <>I would be interested to hear from
anyone who can give me any further information on Lucy Gregory.
I
am trying to trace my family Their surname was Thompson. Can you help? Thankyou.
Regards
Sybil Dobson
The information I have so far is: - William (Alfred?) Thompson was born c 1859. His mother was named Sarah born c1831. She was a corn plaiter. William had siblings, Mary Ann Elizabeth born c 1856, Thomas born c 1858, and Charles born c 1861. They were all born in Campton. They are all on the 1861 census of Campton. There were other siblings born after this date - Martha Jane born 03.10.67 who married an Edwin White. - Albert Edward born c.1870 and George Henry born. c 1871.Their father was also William (Alfred ?) Thompson born c.1828 in Ampthill. He was an Agricultural Labourer. William born c1859 went on to marry a Clara Norris born in Towcester, and then went on to live in Bedford. William and Clara are my maternal grandparents
September 2006 I have now found out that William Thompson's mother was Sarah BLUNDELL, born Campton. There may be errors in the dates quoted. Thankyou. Sybil Dobson sybil.dobson@btinternet.com

I am researching my family history, and visited this site because so
many of my
ancestors came from this area, Campton, Clophill and Haynes.
Many lived in Mill Lane and I am intrigued by the historical photo of a
Mill
Lane cottage, could they be a Heathfield family in the photo? Does anyone have further info on
this photo?
Howard Heathfield (howard.heathfield@get-the-web.com)
The owner of the original photo (Maud Inskip) informs me
that
the people in this photo are her mother and father, Fred & Rose
Inskip.
They moved from this house C1934. Ed.
