It may be a week or three before I can get there again. I have just arrived back home after spending the day there!

Will look for you next time. (It won't be in half term week as we have the grandchildren.)

No rush - thank you very much for your offer and I'm very grateful however long it takes.

Had a look at Bryn baptisms today.

I found James Bonney 26-4-1770 sponsors Thos Unsworth & Eliz Wilson and Thomas Bonney 11-7-1784 but no William. Also the register only named the sponsors not the parents!

did you have the baptisms of Williams children? Just jotted down a couple (they were not large registers) Helen (Latin form of Ellen?) 22  Jan (or June - can't read my scribble!)- 1804, William 3 May (not Aug) 1807 and a Mary 25-8-1805

There were a couple of other Bonney parent combinations in the register

let me know if you want any further lookups

Hi Lancsann
Thanks so much for doing the look ups. It's interesting that there were Bonneys being baptised there in the 1770 - 1784 period - just the right time for my William even though he wasn't there.
And fancy not naming the parents? very sloppy recording by that priest!
I do have the baptisms of William's children thank you, although you've identified my transcription mistake on William 2 baptism - I've got a photocopy of the record and for some reason I put August instead of May.
Many thanks again for your help

Hi greenpaula,
Which of William Bonney's children are you decended from?
His sister Ellen b1804 is my 2xggrandmother.
I've been in contact with someone who thinks there is a connection to Lytham!! I've not managed to find this yet.

[winifred1]

William Bonney b 1782 to Thomas & Ellen. St Peters Lytham
Also Wllm b 1776 Lytham. Maybe he was born in Winwick & christened in Lytham.
An Eleanora / Ellen Bonney b 18/8/1783 Lytham married in Winwick.1803.

Hi Winifred,
Ellen Bonney's brother William 1807 is my 3 x great grandfather.
I've heard the Lytham connection too, and some trees have it on as fact but I am not convinced. I think Lathom is more likely. I am in touch with another Bonney descendent and we are both still looking.
Regards
Paula

Don't know where Winifred 1 has got to - her PM box is full - but I for one would like to find out what happened to the Halliwells who descended from...

Hi
Sorry I've not been involved with the Bonneys for quite some time. I didn't think I could get any further with them.
Good photo of the grave.  Roger & Ellen are my gggrandparents. I am descended from their son Joseph b 1843. What is your connection?
