Hi Tim ,
re Sawston surnames . I consulted it in Cambridge city record office .It is in fact a very
rare slim volume ,
being privately published by the then vicar of Sawston he having extracted and collated
the information from
his parish registers and parish chest papers.You are unlikely to find a copy elsewher
except maybe the british
museum library or perhaps Cambridge University Library might have a copy

Liz you are a hero!
But then I know you just love a genealogical challenge and the
Herts/Cambs/Essex Cat*leys are proving to be just that, as expected.
The job is made harder by the fact that the geographical area in question
falls within the boundaries of the three Counties of Hertfordshire,
Cambridgeshire and Essex.
Whilst Liz has set the Eastern limit as the M11 motorway, I think it highly
possible that there will be genealogical links "off limits" ie with Saffron
Walden, Essex and Sawston, Cambridgeshire which are only a few miles further
East.
What could be of immense help long term, would be a copy of the work by
R.Bircham which goes under the title:-
"Sawston Surnames by Rev'd Canon Ronald Bircham"
Someone on the List must have a copy of this because most of you will
already have seen in Chris' Catley Database that some of the entries from
this work are already written up in it?
Regards
Tim
