Early Parish Records
In 2001, a correspondent sent me an index to the Parish Records of Meldreth and Melbourn in Cambridgeshire 1628-1850
These Parish Records show just 2 entries relating to my direct line:
Benjamin Whirland bp 13.4.1712 Meldreth (Parents Thomas & Elizabeth Whirland)
John Whirland (brother of Edward my direct line) bp 19.7.1741 Meldreth (Parents Benjamin & Elizabeth Whirland)
There were many references to Abbis Worland which I have extracted separately:
