I began my blog posts with an introduction, briefly mentioning my first great-grandfather, William Henry Wise. He is my great-grandfather through his daughter, Kate Elizabeth Wise, my grandmother, who has also been mentioned in previous posts, Kate is the wife of Harry Bond; they have a son, Cyril Leonard Bond, my father.
For most purposes, I would be satisfied that my Bond-Wise family connections were complete with the marriage of Kate and Harry Bond, and I have believed this to be so for all time.
The Wise family line is extensive, as are most family lines we follow in our family research, but the Wise family has some unique qualities. I recognise they come from a long line of rural, farming, agricultural, and horticultural people.

Willliam Henry was an established Estate Manager in England, managing estate grounds for George Shenton Sr. He continued working closely with Sir George Shenton Jr in Perth, Western Australia, after he and his family migrated to Perth in 1880. Establishing the first turf wicket at the WACA ground in Perth was one of Henry's greatest achievements.
Recently, I have discovered that there is another Henry Wise, who was also an Estates Manager back in England, he was known as Royal Gardener to Queen Ann and King George of England. There is certainly a strong indication that there are green thumbs well established in the Wise family, a trait that is worthy of investigation in itself.
Amy Wise opens a new doorway to an intriguing discovery that will keep me ancestrally entertained in my Wise-Bond family research for some time into the future.
My discovery could be described as a Bombshell in my family's research or a profound connection in my Bond family line.
Amy Wise 1770 -1837) is my 3rd great-grandaunt, daughter of Thomas Wise 1740 -1802 and Amy Newport 1745 -1776 my 4th great-grandparents. She is a sister to Richard Wise 1776 - and husband to Elizabeth Gosling 1781-1858 my 3rd great-grandparent.
George Wise 1814 -1887 was the son of Richard and Elizabeth Wise and husband to Jane Eliza Guyatt 1820 -1892 my 2nd great grandparent and Parants to William Henry Wise 1846 - 1931, husband to Julia Ann Hutchings 1843 - 1935 my 1st great grandparents and parents of grandmother Kate Elizabeth Wise 1874 - 1966 and wife of Hary Bond 1864 -1950.
This may seem complex and confusing, but from here, it becomes less complicated.
Relationship:
Amy Wise 1770-1837
3rd great-grandaunt
Brother of Amy Wise
Son of Richard WISE
Son of George WISE
Daughter of WILLIAM HENRY WISE
Son of KATE ELIZABETH WISE
Amy Wise became the wife of George Bond 1752 -1825, son of William Bond 1707 -1784 and Mary Cole 1729 -1795.
Amy and George Bond had the following children:
George Bond 1792 -1839.
Ann Bond 1795 -.
Amy Bond 1796 -.
Charlotte Bond 1798 -1867.
Mary Bond 1800 -1854.
Sarah Bond 1804 -1868.
William Bond 1811 -1879, m Jane Chivers 1818 -1883 had issue. DNA matches are coming through child, George Bond 1846 -1923 and wife Clara Louisa Millard 1853 -1922, and subsequent grandchildren.
It might seem reasonable to assume there is no connection between the Bond family that Amy Wise joined through her marriage and the one that Kate Elizabeth Wise became part of later on, but this assumption would be incorrect and uninformed. Such a belief overlooks the intricate web of familial ties and historical connections that often exist within extended families, particularly when we delve into the genealogy of the Bonds. The history of families is seldom linear; rather, it is a complex tapestry woven from various branches, each contributing to the overall narrative of lineage and heritage.
Among the numerous branches of the Bond family that I have meticulously traced from the marriage of Amy and George Bond, I have identified a lineage that descends from the Bonds of Cornwall, a region steeped in rich history and tradition. This lineage further extends to the Bonds of Tyneham, known for their picturesque village and a compelling story of community and resilience. Additionally, I have discovered connections to the Bonds of Creech Grange, whose own history is intertwined with the development of the English countryside and its cultural heritage. Ultimately, all these branches converge upon the illustrious Bonds de Earth, a family line that carries with it a legacy of significance and prominence within the broader context of British history.
Amy Wise and Kate Wise, despite their different paths through marriage, both entered into lineages of the Bonds, establishing a remarkable connection that transcends their individual experiences. It is noteworthy that both women share direct bloodlines that trace back to the Bonds de Earth, which I find to be an extraordinary fact worthy of celebration and recognition. This connection not only highlights the intertwining of their lives through marriage but also emphasizes the importance of understanding our ancestry and the stories that shape our identities. The Bonds de Earth represents a historical significance that resonates through generations, and acknowledging this link between Amy and Kate Wise enriches our appreciation of their family histories. Such connections remind us that family ties can extend beyond immediate relationships, weaving together a broader narrative that honours our shared heritage and the legacies we inherit.
