MY name is Bill Bonney, I'm from Cape Girardeau, Missouri of the United States.
This is a longshot, but I'm researching our family history and found that it
is linked to West Walton and Wisbech.
I stumbled upon your newspaper site, and I'm hoping someone with knowledge of the area may help me locate a couple of gravesites/ cemeteries in Wisbech or West Walton.

It would be a start for us.
My wife, Anna and I live in Cape Girardeau, it is in the central part of the United States. We live on a farm and have four children. We are planning a trip to Wisbech in 2010. I'm trying to gather as much information as I can before making the trip.

Getting to Wisbech from the United States will not be the easiest thing to do. Nor do I know anything about Wisbech other than that is where our family originated prior to coming on a ship to the United States in 1838.
If you could let me know if there is a cemetery in Wisbech and West Walton that would be a start.
There may even be a Bonney family there with some knowledge we could use.
