Hello Eileen
Is your William Cade the one who was born 9/10/1770 and married Charlotte Jarvis 5/5/1796?
He was a builder and died in 1824.
His parents were John Cade and Elizabeth Norman, who married 1/5/1769 in Upton and had one
child between them, William. They settled in Alconbury.
John had previously been married to Mary Cotton and had 4 children, Mary bapt. 23/10/1759
who married Thomas Bernard in 1777; Elizabeth bapt. 20/10/1761 and bur. 30/1/1781;
Charlotte bapt. 10/6/1768; and Silas Balgay bapt. 24/6/1766, bur. 7/7/1767. Their mother
Mary bur. 28/4/1768.
John Cade was a wheelwright who is recorded as being 'from Fenstanton' on his
marriage entry to Mary Cotton on 31/10/1758 although I am certain in my own mind that he
is the same John Cade who was the 5th child of John Cade and Mary Tailor who were married
in Upwood 1729. They had daughters Martha and Mary and 2 'Johns' (who both died)
before our John, all buried at Bury including the parents.
The Bury connection comes up many times in the family. Your ancestor William's son
John was sent to train there as a blacksmith, as were several of William's grandsons.
I hope this has been helpful, Liz
p.s. some of our ancestors did emigrate to the states, but probably a little later than
the person you were replying to - around 1880s to Jackson County, Bergen County, Cook
County respectively. It is only Harry Hardwick Cade who may have descendents from his
children Frances and John still living in the States. The other brothers who emigrated
James Espin and John (Jack) would not have any living descendants as only Jack had
children and they were 2 girls who did not marry.
