I know Bassingbourn and Litlington very well...just thought I would mention it :D

Although they are both in Cambridgeshire... Royston Hertfordshire is the nearest town

I meant to say - all the info I posted about Renny and her children/siblings/parents was found on FamilySearch.

ArgyllGran, Chris Ho and Kucinta Thank you very much for all the info. I had some of the offspring but was particularly interested in parents and siblings.
Thanks JEC

If you "Search All Members Trees" on GR, entering just her name, and Cambridgeshire as POB, you'll see that two people have her in their trees.

If you contact them, they might possibly have more info.

There's also a tree on Ancestry which says she married John Newman in Hertfordshire on 4th October 1761 - but no source given.

It also says her parents (as in Kucinta's post above) married in Litlington on 30th April 1731.
It says her father was born 2/7/ 1704, and died May 1762, both Litlington.

Her mother was Mary Rogers, born 1706.

No sources given on the tree for any of this.

Litlington is near Bassingbourn, and date ties in with the baptisms for possible sibs of Renny that ArygllGran posted earlier.
