Speculum Gregis 1843
'An Account of all the Inhabitants of the Parish of Croydon
in the County of Cambridgeshire commencing from 1 January 1843'
by Reverend Francis Fulford 1803-1868 (Rector at Croydon 1841-1845).
Additional notes by Reverend R S B Sandilands (Rector 1845-1864).

Baptisms 1840-1850
The parish baptisms for Croydon-cum-Clopton have been provided as background information to accompany the "Speculum Gregis" listings. Unless otherwise stated, the baptism was held at 'All Saints' Parish Church, Croydon-cum-Clopton.
This transcription has been reworked to give the full names for the child and for both parents as they would be in normal use (forename then surname) to facilitate accurate name searches.
(See also: Banns, Marriages and Burials. All dates 1840-1850 inclusive.)

My thanks and acknowledgments to the Parochial Church Council for Croydon-cum-Clopton and All Saints Parish Church for allowing the online publication of the Church Registers. This page is based on the transcription by T.P.R.Layng.
