My gg grandparents were Luke Fisher (b1823) and Harriet Briggs (1828) and they were married in Crowland~ Lincolnshire. They migrated to Australia in 1854. His parents were~ I think~ Thomas Fisher and Frances Searson. I have very little other than that so any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to trace John Phillips born about 1829 in Crowland~ Lincolnshire. I believe that his mothers name was Mary~ surname is unknown. I believe he had a brother Abraham born approx. 1826 and sister Maryborn approx. 1837. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

I am researching my family name. I know nothing of this area of Lincolnshire (we originated in Gretton~ Northamptonshire)Strangely I discovered a clutch of 11 baptisms in Crowland between 1742 and 1760. After that the name CRAXFORD disappears. However about 1790 the name CROXFORD appears and has continued since. This has been punctuated by occasional spellings of the surname as CRAXFORD in census returns (Green Croxford appears as Craxford in the 1841 census and the 1871 and 1881 censuses). **My question is this: Are the Croxfords descended from the Lincolnshire Craxfords? Do the actual baptism recrods from Crowlands Abbey still exist?**Many thanks Alan

Am trying to trace my family tree and have been told about a chap called "Blind" Billy Baines who married Elizabeth Setchfield of Crowland and used to tell fortunes in one of the Deepings. He was born in 1873, married Lizzie in 1906, and died in 1951. Any info on him would be good.
