| The
Roll of
Honour site started as a small project transcribing and documenting
a few war memorials in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire which contained
family members. Gradually more and more memorials crept into the
various sites being maintained.
With
the help of several people initially the transcription and researching
of the memorials gathered pace. Today there are the majority of
the war memorials to be found in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and
old Huntingdonshire listed on what became a new site. Each memorial
is transcribed and each man individually researched. These details
along with photographs and links are then displayed on the site.
Today
the memorials coverthe whole of the United Kingdom as well as some
overseas. Information about regiments and airfields have also been
added plus several searchable databases covering various periods. |

| Martin
has been researching his family trees since the late 1980's and
is currently researching several surnames; EDWARDS, CARMAN, MARRIOTT,
BARRETT, BARRITT, BUTCHER and PALMER. All these are in the East
of England, mainly East Anglia. During this research he has collected
a varied amount of information about people, places, websites, etc.
These have all been accumulated on the Genealogy on the various
web sites maintained or here.

History started while looking for information about the old
County of Cambridgeshire. There are many varied Societies and a
great variety of information about Cambridgeshire on the internet.
The aim is to consolidate that information from one central point
allowing, you the researcher, quick and easy access to the resources
that you are looking for.
The research
areas covered hopefully encompass family history, village history,
archaeology, records, local history, county information, statistics,
topics of interest as well as the Societies and institutions that
can aid with that research. This site is non-profit making although
the ability to purchase books and information will hopefully be
made available to you.
Cambridgeshire
now consists of what was old Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire and
the Isle of Ely. These pages recognise the county post-1974 although
for research purposes these areas may be split into sub-sections
here. |
| Local
Ancestors |
| Local
Ancestors came about as I published bits of information supplied
by other people who did not maintain a web prescence. Designed primarily
for others to have their information posted to the web in the form
of accessible web pages without having to do too much work of their
own. These pages were set-up to host a series of Ancestor pages for
Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire. Gradually all forms
of Ancestor are appearing here. We hope they give you some pleasure
amd possibly some help. |
| Wesley
Players |
The
Wesley
Players was an amateur dramatic group that my father and I both
belonged to for several years. During that period my father kept
a scrapbook containing details of each play, whether he was in it
or not. There is now a site which contains details taken from the
scrapbook. |
| Boer
War |
| The
Boer War site
is in its infancy but eventually will cover all asects of the First
and Second Boer Wars in South Africa. |
| My
Far East |
MyFarEast
is a set of pages which are devoted to various information we
have found in our limited travels in the Far East. These are currently
restricted to West Malaysia and Singapore but in the future will
hopefully expand to more countries. Our main interests are historical,
most with military connections as an extension of our research into
various British War Memorials. Whenever we visit a country, town
or city we like to get a feel for it so by asking and reading a
lot of information can be gleaned and hopefully we have managed
to reflect that here. |
