Family History Beginners Board / Nicholas Baldock
« on: Monday 10 September 18 16:32 BST (UK)  »
I seem to have a hit a brick wall finding out the parents of Nicholas Baldock (alternative spelling Baldocke) born in 1562 in Minster Sheppey, Kent, he died in 1622. He married Agnes Allen in 1587 in Canterbury, they had 7 children Richard, Jane, Nicholas, Petronella, Robert, Anthony and Thomas. If anyone can find anything out be greatly appreciated to enable me to try to move back further. Thank you  :)

Family History Beginners Board / Bond - Vocalists and Actor/Actresses
« on: Tuesday 17 May 16 23:09 BST (UK)  »
Hello, newbie to the site and family research  :) I was wondering if anyone had any experience of researching ancestors who were either vocalists or actors/actress ? I am trying research the Bond family. 

George Bond b1846 Islington Middlesex London
Annie (Anne) b1849 Islington Middlesex London
George Bond b1871 Deal Kent
Annie Bond b1873 London
Herbert b1875 London
Arthur b1878 Westenham Kent
Amy b1880 Chelmsford
Mary b1886 Herfordshire

As you can see they moved around quite a bit while in Deal, George and Annie were listed as vocalists in 1871 census. Then by 1881 census they are both listed as Theatrical actors living in Essex. By 1901 census their daughters Annie and Amy were both boarding separately up in Spa Common, East Retford, Nottinghamshire. I have been able to find any more information about their professional work, not knowing their stage names or where I should be looking online ?  I'm also at a loss as to what was happening in Nottingham in 1900s for them both to work as actresses ?

Both George and Annie just disappear after 1881 census with their son George now head of house looking after younger siblings with his sister Annie until she moved to Nottinhgham. George emigrated to the USA in 1907 later joining the US army, while Arthur soldier based in Cheriton Kent. Herbert my great grandfather become a baker, I'm also looking for any information about what happened to his children from his second marriage Marjorie, Kenneth and May my grandmothers half siblings.   

Any help greatly appreciated I've not subscribed to any of the paid sites yet so have been relying on the various free sites mostly BMD so far. I had no success searching The Stage site archives for any mentions. 

I hope I am posting this in the correct place if not please more or delete.
