[Note: The birthdate is an error, presuming the VRs are correct, and may explain why Bond doesn't show any marriage, his error making her appear too young to marry in 1782. However, qualitatively, the relocation of the father to Ashby suggests it is the right person, being after all, the only Bridget Lawrence found in a wide-ranging search of vital records.]
