More miscellaneous Bongards - another confusing family! I've got quite a lot of info about them and the Corneys, all Sussex - Ann Bongard/Oswin's parents were George Bongard, bricklayer, born Heene, Worthing 1806 (tho his parents and half his siblings born Angmering) and Frances Corney born Bignor, Sussex 1801. Confusingly their daughter Frances married her first cousin so her father, brother and husband were all called George Bongard! haven't found death of either George or Frances, tho someone said George died 1834. certainly he's not there in 1841 - tho there is another george Bongard, also a bricklayer, in Maidstone, Kent. Must be a connection but I haven't yet found it. |

Indeed. There are similar names in France and Germany. Family rumour said ours came over during the French Revolution, but that can't be right as they're in Angmering long before that. Could be C17 Huguenot refugees tho. Also some rumour of French glass makers who came to England. None of it verified though! |

Yup, that's them. I've photographed their gravestone in Angmering churchyard. We've got his parents too, tho gravestone now under north aisle of church - was photographed by researchers down there. Angmering has an excellent website! |
