Waters

Welcome to my page dedicated to the Waters surname. Unfortunately there isn't much here yet but I hope to expand this in time.

My own particular interest in this surname is from my Gt Gt Gt Gt Grandmother, Mary Waters born in approximately 1784 in Mepal, near Ely in Cambridgeshire, England. Unfortunately I do not have any further Waters names as yet but I hope to add to this research soon. Mary married my Gt Gt Gt Gt Grandfather, James Martin b. 1784, on 8th April 1805 at Coveney Parish Church, Cambridgeshire.

The couple had at least 12 children and they both feature on the 1851 census at Wardy Hill, Cambridgeshire, both aged 67 years, James is noted as a farmer of 5 acres.

Mary was buried on 3rd November 1869 at Coveney Church where her husband, James was buried in August 1856.

Their children were as follows:

• Mary Ann Martin (1805-?)
• John Martin (1806-?)
• Ann Martin (1807-?)
• James Martin (1809-18??) - died as an infant.
• Elizabeth Martin (1811-?)
• James Martin (1814-1868) - my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather.
• Martha Martin (1816-?)
• Robert Martin (1818-?)
• William Martin (1820-?)
• Jane Martin (1823-?)
• Charles Martin (1825-?)
• Thomas Martin (1828-?)

I would be very interested to hear from anyone with a common interest in the Waters surname from Mepal, Cambridgeshire. See e-mail address at foot of page.

Fellow researcher....

• This researcher is also searching for his Waters ancestors in Witcham. Due to the lack of information that i have i am unable to provide a link between our branches. Matthew Broadhead's connection is via Isabella Waters, daughter of John Waters. Isabella married a Mr. William Haws in Witcham in 1849. Please contact him if you are able to give any information.
