Many Thanks for these!

I had the 1881, but will now check out Firkins. I'm new to this, and hadn't tried Firkins as an alternative spelling.

Hello Rachel - welcome to the boards!

If you don't already have a copy of Matilda's marriage certificate it would be a good bet to get a copy to confirm her father's details.

I am trying to locate any records of Matilda feekins and her family. She married John Benefield my Great Grandad in 1908. I have located her immediate family in the 1881 and 1901 censuses but have not been able to trace any records etc apart from a few traces. There does seem to be a concentration of Feekins in the Fenton and Huntingdon area but no matches to this family, can anyone help me or point me in the right direction? :-)
