I'm going through my great-great-grandmother's records.
My great-grandmother was the only child of Eliza Jeffcoat's (maiden name) to Henry William Pond or Bond. Henry died in 1882 at Blandford Street, Marylebone, London, where they ran a coffee house.
By 1891 she living at Portsea with her now married daughter Jessie and Jessie's husband Joseph Purkis.
Why did she move from central London?
How, where and when did Joseph Purkis and Jessie Bond meet?
Joseph was an Engineer Officer in the Royal Navy.
