Subject: Sarah ROBERTS b 1838 DEVON
Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2000 12:16:35 +1100


Hi All,
Am hoping someone could help me with details for Sarah ROBERTS.

I do not know her maiden name, but it MIGHT be PARSONS or a BUSSELL.

Sarah was born abt 1838 somewhere around Kingskerswell , DEVON, and married a Lieutenant ROBERTS possibly Royal Navy.

She was widowed young, sometime in the 1870's, and left DEVON for Newfoundland, to be a companion to her aunt Mrs Elizabeth BOND ( nee PARSONS). Sarah died in NFld in 1924, aged 86

Elizabeth PARSONS was born (in Newfoundland- I think ) 10.8.1822, married John BOND of TORQUAY ( b 1805, died 1872 in NFld) and she died in NFLd 17.8.1900. Would like to know her parents

William BOND b 1794, in Haccombe or Kingskerswell, DEVON, married Elizabeth Bussell on 27.2 1823. Her father was John BUSSELL. There was a son John Bussell BOND b abt 1824. He went to Montreal, and died there early 1900's.

If anyone has names like these in their tree, or who could do a census look - up for me, I would be most grateful.

This Sarah is a big stumbling block for me as I'm trying to establish a link to another branch of my immediate family.

Kind regards
Jocelyn BOND
