I am just catching up with e-mails after being off the air since September
due to problems with BT line ...
I noticed the wedding report in John Patrick's entry for Nov. 11th and
think they may be my relations - my gt. ANDREW BOND [shipwright] grandfather
had a brother, JAMES BOND, living at one time in the area.
So I will try and check this out, thanks once again to John Patrick.
