Holy Trinity Parish Look Ups Needed - Bond
« on: Tuesday 22 January 08 09:53 UTC (UK) »
Hi there,

I'm struggling to put a family together that lived in the Cambridge area from the early 1800's.  I really would like to ask the assistance of some kind person to look up the Holy Trinity parish registers for the baptisms of the following children of Joseph and Frances Bond for more information:

Frederic Bond - bp 1824
Emma Bond - bp 1827
Francis (or Frances) Bond - bp 1825
Elizabeth Bond - bp 1830
William H Bond - bp 1831
Mary A Bond - bp 1833
Frances A Bond - bp 1835
Caroline Bond - bp 1837

I also have no marriage for the parents.  The wife is my relation but her family is phantasmic to say the least.  If someone has access to the Holy Trinity marriage registers I would appreciate it if a search could also be done for a marriage for Joseph Bond and Frances Prague or Leach (that's my problem in a nutshell) in the range of 1820-1824.  If Frances is found with birth info of any description I have the date of 16 Sept 1803 in Cambridge (but this is family hearsay).  Joseph's occupation was that of grocer in his married life but I know nothing of his parents, or of Frances' parents.  The Bond family was known to live in Market Hill but apparently Frances did not live a long life.  She may have died in 1844 or 1857 and the Holy Trinity registers may contain some information.

Really anything would be an improvement on what I have now.

Thanking you all very much for reading.

Cheers

If you check the baptism index on the Cambs FHS website at http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html, it shows that the last three children were baptised at St Mary the Great, Cambridge, not at Holy Trinity.

Only their first four children were baptised at Holy Trinity - they appear to have moved from Bridge St to Market Hill at some time between 1827 and 1831

The index has no baptism of a Frances Prague or Leach that would fit with the birth of a first child in 1824, unless the Frances J Leach in 1811 at St Andrew the Great Cambridge was a late baptism.

FreeBMD - http://freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl - has a death of a Frances Bond in Cambridge in June 1857

Hi David,

Ack!!!  Thank you for correcting my scant info on the kids baptismal church.  Ooooo...sorry for having that all screwed up to begin with  Roll Eyes.

That means I now need look ups at Holy Trinity AND St Mary the Great!  Grin  Any maybe even St Andrew the Great to check out the Frances Leach baptism in 1811.

Anyone out there who likes a good walk and detective session willing to trudge around Cambridge?Huh?  Ooo...forgot it would be cold there..sun is very shiny and hot in NZ at the moment.  Wrap up warm.

Cheers

Dear, dear, dear Sue,

Please excuse the shouting but DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?HuhHuh!!!!!! Shocked

OMG!  You may have just cracked the entire thing wide open.  It looks like the surname really wasn't Prague at all but Prigg!  And Prague is the one that's been floated down through the years so we've all been floating around in the dark trying to locate the impossible!

YOU LITTLE BEAUTY Grin  You rock!  You are so cool!

From your little foray into things I've managed to find matching items on the IGI.  No wonder we didn't know if it was Prague/Prigg or Leach considering they were the names of the two parents.  This is where things start getting weird.  Frances Prigg had two brothers, one called Charles who I have now found as a Prigg, and one called George who I'm descended from.

George was supposedly born on 22 Sept 1808 and ended up serving in the army in India as George Leach because that's what he married under.  Have yet to get hold of his army records to see if they have a note of who his parents were.

So while I can find everyone else I can't find mine! Angry  In the world of family history that's just ravingly typical, huh.  To be honest I don't even know if he was their biological brother or just a cousin or what.

So while I still need look ups for the Bond kids I now have the right Frances Prigg to add to those baptismal look ups.  Along with everything else you've conveniently parked in my lap.

You are an complete ace!  Feel free to keeping dropping bombs like that (especially if you can find George from 1808).

Cheers from a very happy bouncing

I think you can discount the burial David found for a Frances Bond in 1857 as she is alive and well in 1861 Grin

The 1861 isn't very helpful as it gives birthplaces as just Cambridge. It says Joseph is 55 putting his birth year about 1806. There is a baptism on Camdex for a Joseph bap. 1805 in Thorney, the son of Thomas and Maria.

The IGI has a marriage

Thomas Bond
Maria Brown

24th February, 1801 = Thorney.


==============

Now not sure on above as just found them in 1851, transcribed as Bouch Undecided

This time Joseph is down as 54 and born in Cambridge,  Cry Cry

1851 gives Josephs birthplace as Cambridge St. Benedict, this one appears on the IGI

Joseph Bond bap. 3rd July, 1796, the son of Thomas and Sarah. in St. Benedict.

==========

There is a marriage on IGI, but who knows. Undecided

Thomas Bond
Sarah Baker

19th October, 1794 = Wendon Lofts, Essex

Crikey, you're on a roll!  Not going to stop you at all! Grin

Hard to go backwards when you have little in the way of census material, huh.  Where the heck is my George???  Nice to know Joseph is not a figment of one's imagination.  Ha ha ha!

Well George doesn't appear on Camdex under Prigg or Leach/Leech  Cry Cry

Do you know when he married or when he went to India?

Ooooo...not nice but I suppose a very real fact of life at that time.  Will pop into info and see how it flies.

Don't know when George went to India but he's on the IGI as marrying Sophia Smith on 19 April 1853 in Fort William, Calcutta.  Doing not too badly on the descent side but George is a mystery.  He died either on 26 or 22 July 1859 but that's not proven either and I'm going on deaths of George Leach's in the Indian Mutiny.  It's taken me a long time to find their five children but I think I have them all... Wink

It's just the whole who is he? thing that's really winding me up.  Did he just make himself up or what?  And those Bonds are just as bad to find!!!  Lucky for me I have someone as talented as you on the case. Grin
