Hi, my Bounds appear in 2 branches of my family tree and I would really love to know if they were related and if so how.
1) Late 18th Century: Elizabeth Bound from North Baddesley m. Harry/Henry Melendy from Boldre/Beaulieu, all Hampshire. Witnesses were William & Sarah Bound (parents/siblings?). Elizabeth's birthplace is marked once as Gosport, Hampshire which confused me, until I discoverd that there is a farm and small hamlet to the north of N. Baddesley called Gosport (about which I would like to know more). Their daughter Ann/ie Maria m. William Bath from Devon (they lived their married life in Lymington, Hampshire)and daughter Elizabeth m. Henry Bath from Devon(presumably brothers but have no confirmation of this); they lived in Plymouth, Devon.
2) Late 18th Century: James Bound, tallow chandler journeyman, born North Baddesley, m. Mary from Romsey, daughter Mary, born Portsea/Portsmouth, married Richard Winship from Humberside; they lived most of their married life in Southampton. Another daughter was Hannah b. Wimborne m. George Billett, and Ann/e m. ? Hunt.
If anyone has any early bmds from parish records for any of these, I'd be really keen to hear (I've done lots online of course). Many thanks,
Tiffany
