    Default Norris Honeybun (Bone) abt 1843 Bridport

    I'm looking for information on Norris Honeybun, AKA Honeybone or Honeybourne, who was born in the Bridport area abt 1843. I think that he married a Ellen Stone and had a son Frederick James. Any info about the Honeybun family would be appreciated.

    the only Census reference I can find is in 1871. Also a birth, on FreeBMD for 1837, followed by a death in 1842 on FMP. He seems quite a mystery man.
    I'll try a few "silly searches" and see what I can find.

    Norris Honeybone
    Age - Full Age
    Marriage or Bann Date - 26 Dec 1864
    Parish - Bradpole
    Father's Name - Edward Honeybone
    Spouse's Name - Ellen Stine
    Spouse's Father's Name - Henry Stine

    All the males are labourers and bride and groom of Bradpole.

    So this marriage record is confirmation that we have the correct family. Bride and bride's father's name mistranscribed.
