I am a decendant of a Bond family from Bridgewater. My great-grandmother was Elsie May Bond born 1909. I dont know the fathers name, but I am lead to believe that the mother may have the name Duckham. If this is true, them Elsie's father may be a Benjamin Richard Bond. Any information would be very appreciated

Have recently made advances on my research after obtaining Elsie May Bond's birth certificate. Here parents were Charles Henry Bond and Evelyn Jackson Bond (nee Bond)

Charles' family is from Cornwall and Okehampton, and Evelyn's family are from around Bridgewater. Her grandmother was Eliza Duckham (b. 1831)

This is very interesting about Charles Henry Bond and Eveline Bond and the fact you have Charles linked to Okehampton and Cornwall. I have two Charles Henry Bonds in my tree (the first born in St Anns Chapel, Cornwall, and his son in Plymouth). Their ancestors were from Okehampton. I would be very keen to see if there was a link between our trees.

I think there was a Charles Henry Bond from Maker in Cornwall too who I don't think is related to my tree.
