Name: Tim & Julie Webb From: Soham Website: http://www.sohamroots.co.uk E-mail: sohamgen@hotmail.com	Hi. We are at present, photographing & recording all the Monuments in the Fordham Rd Cemetery, Soham & also recording all the details on the purchasers of the graves with Monuments / Headstones including any other information that we come across related to them, such as description of the memorials etc. The Cemetery opened in June 1856 and is still used today. We hope then to put a publication together with all the information as soon as we have finished, depending on the cost and interest we get, we are at present about half way, & have completed all the early headstones. If anyone has any information that they think could help us with this large project, please contact us. Any info is helpful, such as transcriptions of any of the headstones that was done years ago to compare with what we have transcribed, photo's, or copies of reciepts etc when they were purchased etc, many of the headstones are getting quite illegible, so it is very important to get this done asap. We will have a cut of date around the 1980's in respect of privacy. We do have copies of the purchase registers etc, that contain info such as Address's, Occupations, Ages, Burial dates, Relationships, Type of burial, Purchase costs etc etc, also a detailed plan of the Cemetery with plot no's, so if we do come across an illegible memorial, we can find out who is buried there. Again please contact us if you have any information that dould help us to help others. Thanks. Tim & Julie. Added: June 28, 2008

Name: Tim & Julie Webb From: Soham nr Wicken Website: http://www.sohamroots.co.uk E-mail: sohamgen@hotmail.com	Hi Kev Thanks for your comments on the site, its always nice to get some feedback, we don't live that far from Wicken at the moment, about 2 miles away at the most, just around the edge of the old Soham Mere. Wicken is a very nice village though, small but picturesque and full of its own history, especially its famous nature reserve in the fen, windmills & connection to the Oliver Cromwell family etc. The relationship between Soham & Wicken has always been very strong for hundreds of years, as you probably know the families of Soham & Wicken have always been intertwined in one way or another,even today the vicar of Soham still plays his role in the Wicken Church. If anyone has anything they would like to share with others on Wicken, and would like it put on this website, Please contact us. Added: May 9, 2008

It's a fantastic site, only wish Wicken had one like it! Wonder if I could persuade Tim and Julie to move?? Added: May 9, 2008

Name: Louise Pascoe-Meinecke From: Hannover, Germany E-mail: PascoeMeinecke@aol.com	I have managed to trace my STEVENS family back to 1680. They all come from the Little Downham & Soham area and were mostly farmers. I know my great-grandfather JAMES STEVENS c1871 - 1946 farmed at Longfields Farm in Downham from the 1901 census. A birth certificate of one of his sons shows JAMES STEVENS (farmer) & EVANGELINE STEVENS (1873 - 1954) formerly THOMPSON residing at THE HOLMES, SOHAM in November 1916. I thought this could be a farm, but from your web site I find it could have been a pub? Can anyone please help me with any information. I was told that my great-grandmother EVANGELINE STEVENS (1873 - 1954) formerly THOMPSON was buried at Soham. Although I visited Soham last summer, I could not find any trace of her grave. Can anyone please help me with this too? Many thanks & best regards, Louise Pascoe-Stevens-Meinecke Hannover, Germany e-mail: PascoeMeinecke@aol.com Added: May 6, 2008

Name: Tim Webb Website: http://www.sohamroots.co.uk E-mail: sohamgen@hotmail.com	Hi Lesley. Thanks for comments on the website, glad it has helped you. But what a coincidence, we are researching the old pubs in Soham, and have been doing some research into the Wagon & Horses Inn today, Porters Corner is known today as Mill Corner, it leads to the old mill, which they are at present demolishing. Best Wishes Tim & Julie Added: September 1, 2007
