HI! I’m following my family into Bedfordshire and need details about these 3 people.

Hi Jack

Have you made contact with Steven Whitebread? He's doing a One-Name Study on the Whit(e)breads:

There's also a lot of useful info in the online catalogue of the Bedfordshire & Luton Archives at

You may well already have discovered this, since the search results come up in Google searches. In case you haven't, though, here's a summary of one catalogue entry:

Thanks for the information. I have seen these. My problem is I suppose is that I know Elizabeth's father is William. I'm trying to find the right William. Thanks again and yes I will look up Steven Whitbread.

Thanks Janet, I have seen parts of Elizabeth's will and I will try the others.
Thanks again
Regards Jack
