James Bond was born on 27 October 1806 and was baptized on 25 January 1807 in Clavering, Essex.¹⁷⁹ The Baptism Register at Clavering has the entry:

James son of James Bond and Zibiah was born 27/10/1806 and baptised on 25/1/1807.

James Bond and Elizabeth Pomfret were married on 22 March 1827 in Clavering, Essex.¹⁷⁹ The Marriage Register of the Parish Church of Clavering in Essex states:

James Bond bachelor and Elizabeth Pomfret spinster both of this parish
Married 22/3/1827. Both signed
Witnesses were John Pomfret (who signed X)  and Frances Bond and Susan Bond both of whom signed.

Frances and Susan Bond were sisters of James Bond. It seems that this part of the Bond family were all literate, or at least could sign their names.  This was true of their half sister, Mary on her marriage to Joseph Harrett. ⁶²

James and Elizabeth Bond appear in the 1841 Census, in Arkesden, but do not have any children.  He is listed as a Carpenter.
