    1. New to list - BONHAM interest
    2. Celia Renshaw
    3. Hi listers I'm researching my BONHAM family, mostly originating in North Bucks and mostly being butchers by trade. One butchering BONHAM line moved from Shenley, Bucks to St Neots, Hunts between 1861 and 1870. This was Robert BONHAM, his wife Mary Elizabeth Head (nee GUNN, good solid name) and their children Emma Jane, Winifred Mary and Georgina Maria. From 1870 in St Neots, (a lot) more children were born: William Robert, Albert Edward, Frederick Valentine, John Samuel, Walter Percy, Arthur Ernest and Margaret Alice. Robert and wife Mary E H both died in St Neots district (1900 and 1916 respectively) but it looks as though the kids moved off all round the country. In hope it may help someone recognise the family, here is a sample of their marriages: Winifred Mary married local lad Alfred James LINFORD and they went to London (her sister Emma Jane may have married Edwin LINFORD) Georgina Maria married Ernest Percy WEATHERHEAD in St Neots 1895 - they went to Thornbury, Gloucs William Robert married (1) Minnie Eliza KENDALL who died 1900, then (2) Edith Mary Ann WEATHERHEAD in 1902 - they stayed in St Neots, he was, of course, a butcher Arthur Ernest married Ethel Alice BEAVIS in St Neots 1904 Would love to hear from anyone who links to the family or, conceivably, remembers there being a BONHAM butchers in St Neots.
