I've just stumbled on this website and I am not really au fait with computers so please bear with me! My grandmother was called Fanny (Frances??) Deller or Dellar and came from Bassingbourne in Cambridgeshire. I know very little about her - she married my grandfather (Henry Hollingsworth) around 1900 when she was aged about 18, at the time she was 'in service' in Staines, Middlesex, they lived in east London, had five daughters and one son (my father) and she died in 1958. I have a lovely old photo of her. Does anyone recognise this lady?? I am not convinced I will ever find this website again (!) so I will give my email address - elaine@thestation57.fsnet.co.uk Many thanks!

Hi James:
I just saw your posting and noticed you have both the name SMART and ADAMS listed. These names are in my paternal family history and my family are also from Cambridge. My great grandparents were David SMART and Sarah Ann ADAMS. Their daughter Ada was born in 1886, in Swaffam Prior. I've been searching for further information on this family with little success. It is a bit difficult, and a rather long wait, to get information from the records available near me in Canada. I wonder if there might be a connection to your family.

My family of Frosts came from Whittlesford where they lived in the 18th and early 19th century. They all appeared to have moved to the East End in the 1830's or thereabouts, probably when the Liverpool St line was built. Maybe this is of some use.

My Frosts come from Gressenhall in Norfolk until about 1840 when they moved to Histon near Cambridge. Some stayed for a while longer but then dispersed. They were builders and bricklayers.

I have FROST in my family tree mainly in Brinkley but they seem to have connections to Stow cum Quy. You can check the main data that I have on my web site at http://www.robalsmith.id.au/ under the Genealogical databases tab. I would be interested to hear from anyone who recognises any of the names therein.

My G G Grandparents were William Chamberlain and Mary Ann Deller. William was born in Bassingbourn about 1807 and died aged 65 on 17.12.1872 and Mary Ann was born in Whaddon about 1810 and died aged 60 on 19.07.1870. I think her parents were John Deller and Sarah Barley who were married in Whaddon on 08.03.1810. Mary Ann was baptised on 10.01.1811 also at Whaddon. My G Grandfather was Joseph. They lived at Bassingbourn. I have copies of both William and Mary Ann's death certificates. I am also looking for Stephen Deller born about 1817 in Bassingbourn, his father was John

Raymond, there is a great resource on the net now....www.dellarfamily.com it shows the inter connections with the different spellings of the name etc.

I have a Stephen Deller, christened 9 Mar 1817 Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire, England. His parents were John Wakeling Dellow and Mary Rowland. Stephen is my 2nd cousin 10 times removed..... He married Ann Gray abt 1838 in Royston, Hertfordshire, Eng and they had 3 children. I also have Mary Ann Deller in my tree and she is my 3rd cousin, 3 times removed. Somehow (according to my Austrailian connection) the name began as Dellow and when part of the family moved to Cambridgeshire, it became Deller and/or Dellar and more. My family goes back to Thomas Dellow who married Margaret Unknown and had 3 children born between 1541 and 1552. Most of this information comes from David Blackman of Australia whose wife's maiden name is Deller. My Dellow/Dello/Deller/Dellar went from England to Canada and then to Michigan, USA. According to my info - part from David Blackman and part proven by me, Mary Ann Deller's background is:
Parents: John Dellar, Sarah Barley
g-parents: George Deller, Ann Stacy
2g-grandparents: John Deller and Hannah Maria Blows
3g-grandparents: John Deller and Eleanor Pink
John Deller and Eleanor Pink had 2 sons, John b abt 1740 and James bn abt 1744. My line descends from John and Mary Ann's decends from James. Mary Ann's father, John and my 2nd g-grandfather are 2nd cousins. Pauli
