Hi Bob, Re : BOURNES. I am related on my grandmothers side through Mary Ann Bourne b) 1776 who married Benjamin Kingsnorth {son of Thomas Kingsnorth and Mary Fullagar} in 1796 at Woodchurch. Also on my grandfathers side Elizabeth Bourne b)1740 who married John Fullagar in 1782 at Woodchurch. Woodchurch Museum is a good place for you to startas you live quite close. Lots of information up in the research room. Have a look for "My Woodchurch Ancestors" by me. The Bourne tree was originally researched by a William Hook Bourne and now Ken Bourne has taken over all his good work. It is back to 1643 and just one generation missing to take it back to Sir Thomas De Bourne who died in 1294 . Also downstairs there are many exhibits relating to the Bourne family. It seem many people know Rosa!!!
