Family notes only went as far as Eliz/Betty being born at Staveley, Westmorland and Samuel COLE b. at Holme-Pierrepont/Nottingham. (At the moment, I can't put my hands on my source records, I do know the records were Not Submissions.)

That's an excellent suggestion. I had a look in 1841 Census and there is one Roger living (60yrs of age) in the East Ward. He is alone. It is probable that following Jeff's suggested course will provide the answer to your quest.

Good morning and a Happy New year to all list members. I am researching a JAMES BOND (not 007) who was born at Kendal about 1780. James was probably the son of JOHN BOND, b.ca 1750 Skerton who was the husbandman at New Hall Farm, Staveley. John apparently married AGNES CLERK, she was born 1742, d. 22 Oct 1826 age 84. Children of JOHN and AGNES were maybe as follows: SARAH BOND, b.1777 Kirkland, buried 16 Nov 1824 Kendal age 51 ALICE BOND, b. 4 Sept 1774, Kendal (Underbarrow). CHARLES BOND, b. 1788 Kendal (Underbarrow) of Bonning Gate, d.1869 age 75 JOHN BOND, b.1780 of Bonning Gate, buried 19 Sept 1854 age 74 AGNES BOND, b.1793 of Bonning Gaye, buried 26 Feb 1865 age 72. JAMES BOND moved to Midgley, West Riding Yks, and married ANN BUTTERFIELD at Halifax 3 May 1801, his occupation was originally that of a Papermaker, however he became an Independent Minister at Clayton West for a short time before going to the Congregational Church at Marsden. I have a copy of the book 'History of Marsden Congregational Church', where he was the Minister (baptising 865 persons) and the School Teacher. I also have two quill hand-written letters dated 1837 & 1846. - his hand-writing was exceptional for that period of time, and I can only assume he had received a good education so where unknown. I would be most grateful if anyone can provide a glimmer of information on the above family, as an example where JAMES could have been educated or on anyone named BOND around Kendal between 1770 and 1800. Best regards Peter Bond.

Hello Peter: I could send the 1841 census page off list, if that would help you at all (?). It shows James and his wife Ann and a daughter Ann; James is a School Teacher.

Petra, that was very interesting. Thanks, Art in New Hampshire, USA Petra Mitchinson wrote:

How VERY interesting to read such an ancient letter, Petra; and, yes, I too would love to know the outcome ! Thanks for transcribing it for us. Barb, Ontario, Canada.

During my project of transcribing documents from the Edenhall Estate for sale on eBay, I came across this letter by Christopher SOWERBY of Langwathby, Cumberland, regarding an estate in the parish of Soulby, Westmorland, sent to Sir Christopher MUSGRAVE of Edenhall, who was an MP for Carlisle living in London. Sir Christopher's father Sir Philip MUSGRAVE was the second baronet and had died in February 1677/8. The current baronet at the time of this letter was Sir Richard MUSGRAVE, Sir Philip's oldest son. Sir Richard's brother Christopher, the recipient of this letter, did not inherit the baronetcy until 1687, when his older brother Richard died. Nevertheless, going by this letter, Sir Christopher MUSGRAVE appears to have been the Lord of the Manor of Soulby after the death of his father, the second baronet. A fine was due to the Lord of the Manor when a new tenant entered a tenancy, and also on the death of the Lord of the Manor. What appears to have happened here causing such a problem for Christopher SOWERBY is that his brother Anthony had entered the tenancy and paid the fine (for which he had to borrow money). When Sir Philip, the Lord of the Manor, died, a second fine was due. Then Anthony died, and yet another fine became due when Christopher SOWERBY took over the tenancy. As fines for arbitrary rents in Soulby around that time were usually twenty times the amount of the rent, the fine on each occasion would have been three shillings eight pence x 20 - that was £3, 13 shillings and four pence each time, so £11 in total - a lot of money for one family to stomp up within the space of a year or so. Not surprising Christopher SOWERBY was asking for reconsideration of the third fine! What didn't help of course was that apparently Anthony's widow was sitting tight on the property and would not allow her brother-in-law to take over... I'd love to know what the outcome of this story was! Enjoy!
