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.
I am carrying out a study of the surname BAGE.
I first began researching my family tree in the early 1990's and was soon able to get my line back to the eartly 1700's where I hit a brick wall. To help me I decided to start collecting all refernces to the name BAGE and the BAGE one-name study was born.
I am interested in all occurances of the surname globally and would love to hear from anyone else with links to the name.
My aim is to be a resource for others investigating their own lines.
I am a member of the Guild of One-Name Studies where I have registered BAGE as my study and am currently a committee member & Editor of the Guilds Journal.
