Life Events

Research Note A baby William was born in 1781 in Hertfordshire to a William Bonnicastle. The parish register stated that William was the illegitimate son of Sarah Burges and that William Bonnicastle was reputed to be the father. The infant died at about 3 months of age. The two William Clifton Bonnycastles, father and son, died in 1771 and 1769 so neither of them is the father. Another candidate has not yet been found.
