Cambridge University
Culpeper Alumni, 1261-1900
Alumni Cantabrigienses
was compiled by J. A. Venn, a former president of Queen's College. This
list of all known students, graduates, and officers at The University of
Cambridge offers information from the university's earliest records through
1900. This is quite an impressive span when one considers that the earliest
records of the university date from around 1261. This entire collection contains
10 volumes in 2 sets. The first set covers alumni from the earliest records to
1752 and the second set from 1752 to 1900. The compilation was published by
Cambridge University Press in 1921.
Every entry offers important information which may include any of the
following: notable accomplishments, occupation, birth date, birth place, other
schooling, spouse's name, parent's names, siblings and other important
associations.
Individuals named Culpeper or Culpepper
The first name below is for
someone with a given name, not surname, of Culpepper. He is included
recognizing the possibility that he may be descended from a Culpepper.
The others are all individuals born with a Culpeper or Culpepper
surname. The Colepeper spelling was not used for any of the names
listed, although this may well have been the decision of the complier
and not how the names were actually entered in the University records.
All entries where the birth is noted as "circa" have been estimated by
Culpepper Connections.
