Parish in Hampshire

[Little Nell]

Unfortunately I can't track down a baptism for a George Bone in East Meon  or any neighbouring parish.

I have found one at Alverstoke:
George Bone son of James & Sarah Bone, baptised 8 June 1783.

The parish church is dedicated to St. Mary.

Thanks very much everyone for your input - I can definitely see now how East Meon could be what was meant by Ismane or Esmane... I never thought of that!

I did also note the baptism in Alverstoke but it looks like that George died an infant in 1786 so that cannot be the one. Perhaps it going to be a case of combing through the originals for those parishes around that time and see if it reveals anything.

George has been a bit of mystery for years now - he suddenly appears in Newcastle when he marries Mary Lumley and decides to settle in the area, I am not sure what brought him to this neck of the woods.

Just to add - I come from Hampshire and the pronunciation of East Meon never included the 'T'. It sounds something like eessmeehan which corresponds with the earlier suggestions that the vicar wrote what he heard.

That's the benefit of local knowledge Martin. Thanks.

Interesting links PatLac.

The 1746 baptism of a George Bone at East Meon is too early for the George who was 35 on his army papers in 1816, (born about 1781), but looks as though it may be of the same family.

I have seen several trees like this one on the familysearch link also on MyHeritage.
Unfotunately all of them say that George Bone was born and lived all his life in Durham, and his ancestors came from the North East.

The very first post by Lewis stated that  "His next son's baptism in 1812 has him as being a native of Stokesbay Parish, which I assume is Stokes Bay in the parish of Alverstoke".
You don't say where this baptism was Lewis - I think we've presumed in Hampshire, but may be conceivably be back in Northumberland again. Where was he baptised?

Can there have been two families with father George Bone and his wife Mary Lumley?

Quite a puzzler!

[PatLac]

Yes, I just mentioned in case he's related to the OP's 'George Bone'. On FS there is some confusion between George Bone and Bones...

The FS family tree of George Bone christened 1787 in Branton, Northumberland is from a Non-conformist church.

That tree on FS is completely wrong or is another person named George Bone who married another Mary Lum(sl)ey. I'll see if I can find the 'right' wife!
