Holy Trinity Parish Look Ups Needed - Bond

Make that triplets!  Frances is also my fourth GG mother!!  Awesome!

Wow, Steve, you have done heaps of research that I had no idea existed.  Sea had just found our George being baptised in Ipwich, Suffolk and I had mused if they were visiting family.  You pop up and say that you believe the Priggs to come from Suffolk.  So there is every chance that they were visiting family or moved to be close to family at that point.  You got to Suffolk first so we are all playing catch up.

You mentioned William Frederick?  Is he a brother of Frances or a son?  I have to start making notes on all this so I don't get confused.  My FindMyPast sub doesn't have access to the newspapers (how annoying) so I will have to cart myself off to a Family History Centre to get access.

Cheers,
Bunny

Hi Bunny

Who's for quads? Ooh, our poor mother 

Actually, I'm a bit worried about that link to Ipswich affecting the validity of my link to Bury St Edmunds so need to be careful.

At the moment my sole piece of evidence is a death notice in the Bury & Norwich Post 7 Jun 1826 saying

Cambridge, June 5th

Died
On Thursday, aged 55, Mr William Prigg, formerly a tailor of this place

It's that 'of this place' that I think is ambiguous, but I'm hoping a Bury St Edmunds newspaper would only be interested in tailors' deaths if there was actually a connection to Bury

There's a baptism at Bury St Edmunds, St Mary's for William Prigg

Baptism date   23 Apr 1772
Father   Robert
Mother   Martha
Notes    3y

which just about fits but is still inconclusive, but so far, my best shot

The search continues...

Hi re the spelling of Bond.

Just as a matter of interest, I am descended from the Bonds of Hardwick and have likewise encountered numerous different spellings of the name during my research.

It occurred to me that apart from writing and spelling skills, if the informant or clerk had a
'bad cold', or 'bad hearing' any interpretation could arise in the spelling.

I have a reverse problem with BOUD or BOWD transcribed as BOND

Aha ...... so we are in the same boat, so to speak.

Dear Catherine.

PM coming your way!  That means a 'personal message' and that's when you use the green scroll.  You'll get a slightly different email notifying you of the message.  Just click on it like usual and it will take you to your personal message centre.  Just use it like any other email system as it is private.

Keep pressing your Dad's buried memory buttons!!!  He just may have the key to us at least finding Robert Thurston's resting place.  I have to assume that he would have died in India.  It might be a big ask to see if your Dad remembers the country Robert would have died in.

Another person I can't trace is Gertrude Mabel Vere Thurston.  Have birth and then christening and then POOF!  Into thin air she goes!  Don't know if your Dad remembers much about his uncles and aunts.  I do have some data but when you are a genealogist one of the satisfying things is being able to hatch, match and dispatch people.  Feel like one is being gruesomely tidy or something.

Alrighty,  I have a PM to send you.

Cheers
Bunny
