Thurley of Graveley CAM - Graveley
My interests: THURLEY and variations including THURLOW, THIRLEY, THIRLEIGH, THURLY and THIRNELL. The latter name is, I believe, a change of name that the original THURLEY family in Graveley took on, but for what reason, I may never know.
One family that I am aware of in Graveley: in 1749 there was a marriage between a George THIRLEY and an Anne CASTLEMAINE, both of Graveley by Banns. From Graveley, I think members of the family found their way to other nearby villages such as Yelling, Hilton, Fenstanton, Swavesey, Conington, Elsworth.

Fredrick & William Porter - Hildersham
My father Fredrick & brother William (twin brothers) were baptised in Hildersham Cambs Church in 1919, no parents names were listed. Their DOB was 21.07.1903.This is coincidently the year my father joined the army. Just to confuse matters the same document records him as living with guardians in Hildersham! There are no Porter headstones @ Little & Great Abington Churchyards. (the two other local churches). I have asked around the village but nobody remembers the Porter surname. My fathers army papers state that he went to a Cambridge school but other than that I have no further info. Both my father & uncle have now passed away now & I am trying to trace their parentage or in the case of William his siblings.
Any inputs/ideas very welcome.

Having now traced Williams' two sons (10 months work ) I have now discovered that my father & his twin were left @ the workhouse in the Hildersham area & then "taken in " by a local Sheppard who was also the local slaughterer by the name of HENDERSON. His daughter thought to be ETHEL married into a farming family by the name of FAIREY. Does anybody know of any history of these two families? I can not find any HENDERSON...
