Bev, I have the marriage of William BOND to Hannah CRANCH, which took place on 23.9.1777 in Kingsbridge, Devon. As a CRANCH descendant I should know much more about my relations, but am afraid that these files lie neglected, so cannot be certain that these were his parents. By "old Christmas day" did they simply mean the date when Christmas was celebrated under the old calendar? regards, Jack Steer ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beverley Edmonds" <beverley@yourisp.com.au> To: <ENG-DEV-SOUTHHAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 9:24 PM Subject: [SOUTHHAMS] William Cranch BOND c 1798 > Morning all, > > Would anyone have William Cranch BOND in their Tree?
