The Family Tree

The Bishop family

The Bishop family have been traced back as far as the late 1700's to what was then a village, but now a small town, called Soham in Cambridgeshire which is roughly halfway between Newmarket, Suffolk and Ely, Cambridgeshire.

By 1858 the Bishop family had moved to nearby Fordham and then a few years later to Wicken, with numerous Bishop children being born in Burwell, Cambridgeshire - again, not that far away from Soham.

My records are indebted to fellow researcher and cousin, Gerard Kelly who kindly provided me with some more Bishop info whilst I was concentrating on other branches of my family tree research.
