[jennirosa]

Could somebody please look up James Henry Bond Born in York, 1860
Christened 7th October, 1860...son of Joseph Bond and Lucy Bond.
I have him on the 1881 Census living 17 Little Shambles, York Occupation Fireman

Can anyone find him after 1881 please?

Hi Jennirosa

Do you know if he married?  Found his father on the 1891 but nothing else so far.

Hi Fiona! :
Sorry, but I don't know anymore about him?
Beginning to think something must have happened to him, unless he moved away from York or went overseas?

4 of his brothers and 1 sister came to Australia....But he was never mentioned by anyone ?? I can't find any evidence of him living in Australia.

I also think one of his sisters Mary Ann Bond Born in York 1872 died in 1882, as there is no mention of her on 1891 Census and there is a Death in York 1882 for a Mary Ann Bond age 9 (Ref. 9d 4).
Thanks for your help, but you may not be able to find him either!

Jenni

But I Can't find any for James Henry Bond?

Hi Jenni

Have had another good look but as yet can find nothing 
You said that on the 1881 census he was listed as a fireman, could he have been killed attending a fire maybe ?  I wonder if there's anyway to find out

Hi Fiona!
Re James Henry Bond  Born 1860....Fireman, York 1881 census.

I've put a Post in "Common Room" for Fireman in York c.1881 employment records!
I don't know if it's the right place, but I'll give it a go and see I anyone has any ideas on how to find him. I can't find a death for him between 1881 and 1901.

Hi Jenni

I'm not trying to confuse the issue but do you know if James Henry Bond was a fireman who put out fires or was he a fireman on the railway, the person who stoked the fire on a steam engine.   Just a thought as York did have a large population of railway workers.

Hi Bee!

Maybe he was a Railway Fireman!.. The Census just had Fireman, so I assumed it was the Fire Brigade!

One of his younger brothers John William Bond was a "Railway Engine Driver" on the 1901 Census!

Did they have a list of Yorkshire Strays for the 1901 Census? Would he be on that? He's not on  the 1901 Census in York!
Can you help?? with this one or do I go back to Lookups!

Thanks for your help, appreciated very much! These Bonds of mine are hard to find!

Sorry Jenni, I can't really help you any further, it just struck me that with York being a big railway centre he might have been a railway fireman. 

I vaguely remember somewhere on rootschat there was a thread about tracing people through the railway companies, I think you'll have to try another look up.

good luck
