Thank you dawnsh... It seems Arthur was the son of Eleanor although not married at that time. Its odd though that he does not appear on the 1881 census with Arthur Theodore and Eleanor just their daughter Rebecca.

captain 2..... thanks for the info about Richard and Ann Hinch - I guess that a "nurse-child" was like a foster child. I will try to follow this up as George Thomas Bond  disappeared between 1861 and 1881.

reply No.3 - thanks Suzard, it seems that the boys were not in a orphanage after all. My reason for this idea was that Arthur Theodore who lived to 96, told my wife, his Great Granddaughter, in the 1940s, that he was once in an orphanage. Perhaps he was just after sympathy!

Hello tanuki,  referring particularly to my family research 'nurse child' was a child that had been placed in care and was then 'fostered' out,  of course I cannot say with any certainty that this is the case for George in 1871 - just a thought - if this is the correct George in 1871 - there are two George Bond's born in Hallow one is aged 14 and an apprentice tailor and the second as I have listed, aged 12 which is the one I have followed here -  then this may be George with his wife Mary in 1881 (which is free to search) RG11/2915  at 1 Cherry Tree Walk, Worcester. George is 22 & Mary 23.

reply No.13, Thank you Captain 22, the information about George  and Mary Bond at Chreey Tree walk is very interesting as the age is right to be Arthurs brother.
