    Good morning,
    I was delighted to find a photo of some of my relatives. Ref the Renshaws at Arcade farm.
    My grandfather’s sister Cecilia Winifred Chapman married Harold Renshaw and they had a son Derek Chapman. I presume that this is them in the photo. In the 1921 census Harold is living at home in the Arcade Oakington and he is a booking clerk for the Great Eastern Railway. I don’t know who the young girl is in the photo.

    My mother, a Chapman, was born in Oakington and I am trying to find her relatives Chapman, Chandler, Renshaw in Girton, Oakington, Histon, Longstanton, Coton.

    Any help? Hoping to come this summer for a visit to look round areas.
    I have been in contact with CHFHS. ORG. UK for help.
    Plus churches in Girton and Oakington.
    Many thanks
    Miss McCullough (N. Ireland)
