stonechat, i am new to rootschat and trying to send you a note but it won't let me, anyway, i am curious about your mention of bonds and chancery...i also have a similar story...though i am not sure if it is in my bond or irving family...my bonds were from manchester, early 1800's, but said to have welsh roots, and related to the bonds of bond street london. anyway there was said to be a great deal of money caught up in chancery that uncles had fought to their wit's end over. like i said not sure if this is the irving or bond side,...but i'll be keeping a look if our bonds connect...

Hmm it'd have to be in 1835. Though then lived in Denton nr Manchester,not sure hw widespread honeymoons weere, especially amond people who didn't have a lot of money, he was a warehuseman /overlooker at a cotton mill.

Her father was a hat manufacturer, but whether an employee or better I can't say

I have thought of this - even the Beckham theory (remember Brooklyn Beckham?).

There do seem to be a real shortage of people called Beamaris

However George Cock's son is Jame Beamaris Cocks, and a grandson is James Beaumaris KNowles.

I may find out one day
