Jacob BEAGLE(S) b. c1808
- Wisbech
possibly married JANE BALLS c. 1831. She was born c. 1811, perhaps in Lincs. Their son, Frederick, my g.grandfather, was born at Great Lane, Wisbech on 15.3.1840. Jane and Frederick appear in the 1841 census at Wisbech St. Peter with a family of 12 Beagles, adults and children, but no Jacob. Jacob is recorded as dying of consumption @ canal sides, Wisbech, in the presence of Mary Ann Beagle(s) on the 6th March, 1850 - but no mention of Jane. Other records suggest that there was a confusion of Beagles in and around Wisbech in the 1840s and '50s and there was even a "Beagles' yard but it is not easy to trace relationships. Can anyone help, please?

Clayton of Wood Ditton
- Woodditton, Wood Ditton
The family of Claytons (Ralph Clayton), moved here from Lancashire around the 1600's, and stayed up until the late 1800's.
Have a pretty good idea of where and what happened to most of them despite the lack of details held at Cambridge Records. (not their fault).
But looking for a marriage link in 1670 between a Walter Fyson and an Elizabeth Clayton she born 11021637, he around 1636 possible in Burwell, Cambridge, where they settled, and had issue, a William and Joseph.
Can anyone check on these events for me?
Thanks for looking Tim.
