In 1841 the Pink family were living in Brook End, Longstanton.

1841 John Pink, Ruth, William 23, Rebecca 19, Alfred 4.

However, in 1851 Brook End is not listed and therefore Fews Lane may have been the same location.

Ruth was born in Longstanton in 1797, daughter of Thomas Burgess and Susannah Allen.

Their eldest son was William, b 1818 Longstanton, who married Martha Clifton in 1840.

Their second son was James, b Longstanton in 1821. He married Susan Wolfe in Rampton in 1847 and in 1851 was living there.

In 1841 their 12 year old son, Jonathan was living as a servant just two houses away on Brook End, with the family of William Childs. In 1851 Jonathan is a servant in the family of Edward Roburson (farmer with 162 acres) on the High Street, Longstanton. In 1861 Jonathan is married and living on Back Street, Bluntisham. Alfred became a bricklayer; he married  Elizabeth Stukins in 1863 and in 1871 they are living in Islington.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
