RAINBOW and HONEYBONE - Shipton under Wychwood

[Stuman]

With two such names among my ancestors it just led to getting into genealogy.

One way or another I have tracked those lines back as far as I can "easily" go. I am now looking to join up some of the other connections, side shoots and branches while alos working away on lines with much less evocative names. Does anyone have any connections to those names around the Wychwood area.

Hi, member,
I am also researching Rainbows of Shipton, esp. Richard Rainbow who married Emma Louisa Fisher.
Hope to hear from you soon with view to exch.info

There is a lot of information of the Honeybone family readily available on the internet. They can trace their roots back to Honeybourne in Gloucestershire. My interest actually lies in the Honeybun/bourne family in Dorset. Recently, I have discovered some evidence which shows links with Gloucestershire as well, but too far back to prove without knowledge of ancient records which, sadly, I don't have. Happy hunting.
