Honeyborne family Gloucestershire

[mazi]

Pure speculation, but Bromyard is close to the border with Worcestershire, there are a lot of Honeybourne births there in the 1700s,

When Henry HONYBORN married Martha ARNOLD 1782 - Bromyard .....


You have the names of the witnesses ...... ? who where they.... 

? people they knew and worked with or Parish Clerks.


With a bit of delving sometimes clues are there.


Family names are also a very important link between generations.

Mike - Yes I did start trawling through Worcestershire records but got a bit overwhelmed by which ones to try to follow! I haven't found a Henry whose dates match mine though ... I assume that the family name came from there originally as there is a village in Worcestershire called Honeybourne (or maybe it was named after us!). I'm still puzzled about what would take Martha from Thornbury to Bromyard unless she had relatives there however I can't find any other Arnolds in Bromyard (her mother's side perhaps ...). Funnily enough I went to school in Bromyard (lots of strange coincidences in genealogy!) it's a very small place so unless it has changed a lot since the 1700's I don't suppose Martha would have gone that far to work.

Capetown - Ancestry is free at my library too but you are limited to an hour at a time and as I work it's not easy to plan ahead, I tend to do bits of research on a whim usually late in the evening!
Annoyingly I can't put my hand on the notes I wrote about Henry and Martha's marriage, I might phone the Herefordshire FHS and ask them again ....
The Register of Duties Paid for Apprentices is really interesting (so many records I don't know exist!) I've downloaded a few names that have tentative connections to a will that I found (don't know if that is connected to my family either .... )

Regards both ..

Hi
Thank you for this, I found Henry Honyburn and the other names that you listed but I can't find John anywhere - Did you find him under Thornbury? If he lived in or near Thornbury then he might be a brother to Henry which would open up my search somewhat ....

Ah thank you - yes I've found John now, I think you're right, going by the year he must be Henry's son...
