Hello researchers. I am a new subscriber to your list, researching my 3xggp James Bond born c.1780. Kendal, Westmorland, U.K. It is quite possible [though I have nothing to support this view] that his parents were John Bond [of Hagg] and Agnes Clerk, - they lived at Underbarrow, Near Kendal. An entry in the surname list has been entered regarding James Bond, but little to no response so far received. I have details of ancestors marriage [1801] when he moved to W.Yorkshire and married an Ann Butterfield, Also the details of his occupation as an Independent Minister and School Master at Marsden. The IGI, Cumbria Archive Service, Dr.Willams library and other obvious sources have been trawled, and I have now hit a brick wall. Has anyone researched the surname BOND or maybe have this name somewhere on a tree-branch, that could be of real interest ? If anyone can help, I would be most grateful. Kind regards Peter peter.bond@lineone.net
