More Certificates Received

Elaine has sent me a wonderful collection of birth, marriage and death certificates relating to her father William and other members of her family.

These have helped to clear up a few "mysteries".

I am always extremely grateful for any certificates, pictures or other information anyone can send me.

Charles Bage Indenture 1808


I have been lucky enough to acquire a vellum Indenure dated 1808 for the release of land in Leeds. What is significant in this is that amongst the names mentioned is a Charles Bage. This is actually the Charles Bage who is the son of the novelist Robert Bage. I know this becasue named alongside Charles are his buiness partners Thomas & Benjamin Benyon. What an interesting find.
