Suffolk Lookup Requests / Birth: Woodbridge/Ipswich - James BOND
« on: Saturday 18 April 20 21:01 BST (UK) »
I would very much appreciate help with my problem ancestor.
James BOND was born in England circa 1776 and eventually made his way to Nova Scotia by 1816 where he had a large family and was the captain of a ship.
DNA evidence has led me to a probable non-paternity event (NPE) that would make a DUNNETT his father (or at least patrilineal ancestor). Additional DNA evidence led me to a specific couple who I believe may have been his parents. Daniel DUNNETT (b: 1737, Woodbridge, Suffolk, Eng) had a family with Elizabeth ______ in Woodbridge. She died in 1777 and Daniel married Ann BOND in 1779. Together, Daniel and Ann also had a large family.
I believe (based on DNA) that Daniel DUNNETT and Ann BOND (b: c1750, maybe Ipswich) were James BOND's parents and that Ann gave James away (orphanage, etc.). James is not mentioned in Daniel's will. If one could search records of "bastards" in the Woodbridge/Ipswich area for James BOND that would be great. Another place where James might be mentioned is in indentured servitude records. I assume James would have been put on a ship as a servant at some point.
Thanks,
Andrew
