Searches in Witcham, Cambridgeshire

So, here I was looking at records for Witcham in Cambridgeshire, but could locate no TINGAYs there, or anyone named Burgess (thinking that this might be a family name) for that matter. Went through as many records that I could put my hands on, but nothing matched.

Still blundering about, genealogically speaking, I sent a note off to a website in England. I was lucky enough to receive an answer from a helpful member of the Norfolk Family History Society and it was he who told me that I was in the wrong county.

Thomas Burgess TINGAY had not been born in Cambridgeshire. He had been born in Norfolk.
