Hi to anyone who has researched this family. I have a problem 3 times great grandfather George Bond. I have been unable to find his birth apart from 1792 (about) his marriage to Mary Bell and a report sent to me from the Derby Mercury sent to me dated 6/1/1830, it was a coroners report of his death from burns having fallen asleep on the fire hearth. I can't trace his burial either. At the time of his death he lived in Greenhill Lane and was a miner which it seems may have been a family occupation as his son Andrew was also a miner which did not follow on when my grandfather moved to NZ as a teenager bringing Andrew's wife, then a widow, with him. From looking at IGI it would appear George was very much a Bond family name. Darley Dale having at least two generations of Georges and I have seen others in other families. I am wondering if your research shows that my George may be part of your family tree prior to 1790s. Any suggestions you may have would be much appreciated, I have sites re George Bond on Rootschat which may help you. BELLBIRD
