I have managed to trace my STEVENS family back to 1680. They all come from the Little Downham & Soham area and were mostly farmers. I know my great-grandfather JAMES STEVENS c1871 - 1946 farmed at Longfields Farm in Downham from the 1901 census. A birth certificate of one of his sons shows JAMES STEVENS (farmer) & EVANGELINE STEVENS (1873 - 1954) formerly THOMPSON residing at THE HOLMES, SOHAM in November 1916.. I thought this could be a farm, but from your web site I find it could have been a pub? Can anyone please help me with any information.

I was told that my great-grandmother EVANGELINE STEVENS (1873 - 1954) formerly THOMPSON was buried at Soham. Although I visited Soham last summer, I could not find any trace of her grave. Can anyone please help me with this too?

Many thanks & best regards,
