    Hi Sarah. Been reading your posts as I mentioned to you in my e-mail yesterday, and sad/glad to say that fortunately it seems that Arma has found your true line, so you aren't of the Biggleswade clan as we have been thinking for a while now, but well done!!
    My own strong personal gut feeling is that the Housden's of that area started out in Cambridgeshire and spread so I'm sure the Biggleswade/Potton Housden's are related beyond 1725ish which is as far as I've managed with my line. You only have to look at the photos of your Dad, Grandfather etc. to see the Housden look! So I'm 99.9% sure we are all linked back beyond as far as we can go at the moment.
    Also if Arma would be kind enough to send me the photos mentioned or you send them onto me if that's ok with Arma I'd be very grateful as I am building the Housden trees from the Cambridge/Hatley/Gransden/Biggleswade lines because I'm determined to link them all one day!

    Speak soon

    Hi Nick

    I'm fine with Sarah forwarding any photos I've sent her. I haven't had time to do any more family tree 'searching' over the last few weeks / months, though hope to get back to it again sometime soon. Do you have any connections that you know of with the details I shared with Sarah?

    Thanks Arma.

    In answer to your question, as yet no. I've been to the Bedford Records Office twice in recent years, the Cambridge office, and the Huntingdon office and found many Housden's but all back to about the 1720's with no link as yet, I'll need to go back further, but where I don't know at this point.

    It is very plain to see with photos that I've seen of Sarah's the distinct Housden look, so it is obvious to me that we are all related. I'll be working on this over the coming years!!

    Hi Nick it's been ages since I've been on here with moving and other hectic things going on.

    Which photo's are you on about, the ones Arma sent or I sent Arma? I'll go look see if the photo's are still sitting in my inbox/outbox on here while my brain's waking itself up it's slept since then

    Hi

    I don't know if you are a paid member on findmypast but I had an e-mail about parish records now being on there so as usual put Williams name in, and the only one that it keeps picking up for a birth between 1848-1851 is a Charles William Housden. That baffles me as it maybe incomplete? and now drives me bonkers again as I know there were Williams born between that time frame as thats how I got mixed up but thats all that shows up when I put all areas to search.

    Hi Sarah

    It was the photos that Arma sent you that I was interested in, as you guessed when you sent them to me. Thanks for that!

    I don't use find my past, I think that used to be called Census 1901 or something similar, so have no idea why you're coming up with that problem. Frustrating this family tree lark isn't it?!!!

    Good Luck

    Speak soon

    Arma, The Ralph Jakes you mention in your posting was my grandfather. He died a few years back having spent the previous 30-40 years living near Wells in somerset. At least one of my (rather distant) cousins was still living in Gamlingay as of when my grandfather died. My grandmother Mary Jakes (nee webber) is currently living in Torquay.

    at one time I collected quite a bit of the family tree but gave up (pre internet days) but my father went on to collect quite a bit and had it all stored in one of the genealogy applications. I'm not sure how far he went into the Jakes side of the family though.

    Re. Find My Past have you checked the military/service record of Edward Housden, b. 1893, No. 28905?
    Also, the Biggleswade Chronicle and Bedfordshire Times are on line at FMP
