Hello, Ian:

It's been a few years since I last worked on my family's genealogy, so forgive me if we have already connected.

Ann Beeton Blinkhorn was aunt to my great, great-grandmother, Martha Beeton Cheney. I have copies of Martha's diaries and quite a lot of information about the family's history here in Victoria from 1851 on.

I am now researching the family history back in England before that time. In particular, I'd love to know who Martha's parents were. I think her mother may have been Sarah Beeton Cheney. I also think Martha was born, or lived in, Wentworth, Cambridgeshire, since her home in Victoria, Wentworth Villa, was supposedly named after her hometown in England.

Do you have any information that might help me?

Thanks,
