The Bonsall & District Film Society has become a reality - see
website
There is a new American
Bonsall Historical Society
This is concerned mainly with geneology and the Bonsall family name and history, but also interested in the village and the area. The family name obviously came from the village as it is unique as a village name in Britain.
They also have an interesting news group - the
Bonsall Research Group
which is well worth a look.

There is a nice image of an old postcard showing the

and there is other local information including the transcribed 1891 Kelly's Directory page for Bonsall, on Ann Andrews' Family pages at
www.andrewspages.dial.pipex.com/
Ann has local connections and is a distant relative of Robert Clay, to whom the fountain on Church Street is a memorial.

John Doxey of New South Wales has a Doxey family name site at
http://pages.zdnet.com/jojogunne/doxeypages/.
His grandparents were born in Bonsall and he has traced his family back to earlier Bonsall connections with family living at 45 Yeoman Street and The Clatterway. The Doxey name is very local and well known in this area but elsewhere it is rare.
