BOBART; OXF,ENG; 1700-1800 Is anyone researching the surname BOBART? Possibly in Oxfordshire, Berkshire area? Although I am not researching the surname as such, it has cropped up in my research twice. First, a Tilleman Hodgkinson BOBART was a witness to the marriage of Robert HOUSE and Elizabeth BARTLETT at Henley in 1775. Second, there is a marriage of Henry Hodgkinson BOBART to Frances HOUSE in Shiplake, Oxfordshire (just south of Henley) in 1835. Witnesses to the above marriage were Ann HOUSE (wife of Robert, above) and William BROWN (Robert's son-in-law). This tends to imply that Frances was in some way related to Robert, but I can't place her at all. Given that I am struggling to trace Robert's ancestors, an investigation into Frances might throw up something new. It also makes me curious as to why Tilleman Hodgkinson BOBART should be a witness to Robert's marriage. Was he a close friend, or in some way related? Can anyone help?!
