                Hi, I’m still working on documenting my connection to Thomas Bunting of Leafield, son of George Bunting & Lucy Hannah Upstone and grandson of Thomas Bunting & Eleanor Tymms. If there are any members who may be part of this branch, I would appreciate any contact. My GG Grandparents, Thomas Bunting and Ann Eden married in Little Barrington and migrated to the USA around 1873. Would love to hear from you!

                          New Subscription Rates from October 2011

                          At the February meeting of the Committee of the Bunting Society it was unanimously agreed that due to life members living longer, the current economic climate, and the resultant low returns on our invested monies that the following changes to subscription rates be proposed at the AGM on 8 October 2011 and if passed take immediate effect.

                          1. All annual subscriptions rise by £1;

                          1.1 New annual subscription rates will be £6 Individual and £7 Family (Overseas – £8 Individual, £9 Family);

                          2. Life memberships will be 15 times annual membership;

                          2.1 New life membership rates will be £90 individual and £105 Family (Overseas – £120 Individual, £135 Family);

                          2.2 A discount of up to a maximum of 3 years previously paid annual subscriptions will be given to current annual members of the Society transferring to life membership. Such discount will only be given for complete and contiguous years of annual membership immediately prior to life membership being taken out.

                            Morning,

                            I am researching my family genealogy and record that one of my relations was Mary Bunting who married one of my relationsJohn Temple, b. 1827. killed in an accident from a falling barrel.Wells-next-the-sea.

                            I am also aware of a Bunting k. i. a. WW IWells war memorial but not sure if related. Mary and JOHN had two siblings, Mary Ann 1853, Martha 1855.

                            My other relations in the Wells area were the siblings of Robert and William Temple. William was Wells harbour master 1878. See 2011harbour brochure, p.53.

                            Would appreciate any further info on Mary Bunting. Mary remarriedafter John’s untimely death, Jonas Sanford, in 1877. Wells parish.

                            Current relations James & Jane Temple of Morston – The Anchor inn.

                            I am based in Northampton.

                              Genealogical research can never be an exact science. One invariably encounters conflicting evidence which is difficult to resolve, and such inconsistencies are more likely to occur in any efforts to delve back more than two or three centuries. As Judith Ray, author of the article on page 2 of this issue of Gone A-Hunting found when she began her investigations into her distant 17th Century Bunting ancestors in Derbyshire, it is all too easy to be led astray by translations from Latin which introduce ‘lineage ambiguities’.

                              Other pitfalls await the researcher, for instance the habit, in those days of high infant mortality, of naming a child after a sibling that had died in infancy only a year or two before. The other tradition of naming a boy after his father – with William standing out as a favourite right through the 18th and 19th Centuries —causes a further potential diversion for the unwary

                              The best advice to anyone seeking after ancestral verities is to endeavour to consult original records wherever possible, rather than later works of reference, typically compiled by possibly well-intentioned individuals who inevitably are less focussed on one-name eg Bunting investigations.

                                The first time we attended a Bunting Society gathering with our daughter Hannah-marie she was only one year old (I maintain she was a baby Bunting…. although her surname is Billson). She was well behaved and we all had an enjoyable time.

                                Nearly six years later, we attended the 2010 gathering at Chester. We brought plenty of colouring books, reading books and a DS Nintendo to keep her occupied. In the event it was Clive her father who caused, quite unwittingly, more noise interference with his mobile phone.
                                Somewhat surprisingly Prue James’ talk, entided ‘Life of an Enterprising Nurseryman’ (see her article – Ed.), an enthralling tale about her great uncle’s 19th Century involvement in exporting lily bulbs from a small Japanese island where he was washed up after being shipwrecked, kept Hannah-marie spellbound.
                                During the next day’s tour of Chester, our guide enlisted Hannah-marie as her assistant, getting her to pose on the statue of an elephant, something she had been eager to do, and to help date the buildings. She was also engaged to demonstrate how people would use the boot scrapers, outside the front door of a Georgian house in Abbey Square. All three of us had a thoroughly enjoyable day and a memorable weekend.

                                    Hello

                                    I am trying to locate a family tree for my father’s branch of the Bunting family who are from Terrington St. John in Norfolk.

                                    My great-great grandfather was Thomas Bunting, born in 1805. My great grandfather was also Thomas, born in 1837. My grandfather was John, born in 1885. At some point John moved from Norfolk to Yorkshire where my father Frederick Bunting – one of seven children – was born in 1923. I have come across information about William Bunting, who died in action in 1917, and his family who were also from Terrington St John. William’s father was one John Bunting – born 1835 – and I am wondering if he (John) was a sibling perhaps of Thomas (born 1837). I am new to this and just putting out feelers. I am wondering if my branch of the family has already been researched and that a tree exists in the Society. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Warwick Bunting

                                        I am searching for more information on my great grandmother’s family. She was Rosella Catherine Bunting, born 1861 in Iowa, USA. Her father was James Bunting born in 1828 in Canada. He married Mary McCann, who was born in Ireland about 1833. James’ father was born in New York, USA, but I do not know his name or the name of James’ mother, but that she was born in Canada. This is all of the information that I have at present. Brick walls seem to be everywhere!! Any hints or help at all would be appreciated.

                                        thanks, and happy hunting to all!

                                          Where do these Buntings fit?

                                          This is a query from a friend of my sons who lives in Australia. Len (not a bunting) but his bioligical father was, we are trying to link him with the right tree. Here goes:

                                          Christopher Evelyn Bunting MBE born 1924 died 2005 was a musican,cellist, pianist, conductor.

                                          His father Sheldon Arthur Steward Bunting MBE b 1882 think he was an engineer

                                          Percy William Bunting b 1836 barristor

                                          Thomas P Bunting b 1811 Solicitor

                                          Can anyone see this in their Bunting tree?

                                              The Society is saddened to hear of the death of George H Bunting, the President of the Bunting Society . He contributed much to the Society over the years, these articles from our Journal are only a small part of what he has contributed..

                                                Our Derby Monyash tree commences with William Bunting (1745-1797). We know that he was born a twin but, exasperatingly, can find no detail whatsoever about this person. Any clues anybody?

                                                  This year the Bunting Society’s annual gathering is being held at Buckden in Cambridgeshire. It is a new location for the event, further evidence of the conscious effort made in recent years to spread our wings geographically in the choice of venue. During the society’s early years, the location for the gathering remained unchanged, at Alpheton in Suffolk. That is until the special 10th anniversary gathering, which was held at Writtle College near Chelmsford in Essex.

                                                  It could be said that Alpheton was where the society was effectively ‘born’, as the brainchild of a few Buntings from the immediate area, notably Mary Rix and Christine Grayson-Toms, now Christine Paine. As founder members, Mary and Christine remain society stalwarts. The village hall at Alpheton, in its delightful rural setting, was arguably an attraction in its own right, at least for society members travelling from urban areas.
                                                  But it soon became apparent that there were many people with the name Bunting or its variants who were interested in their family histories and who were keen to join the society, but who were unable to get to Alpheton for quite understandable logistical reasons. From a travelling point of view it is rather remote for those living for example in ‘Bunting hot-spots’, most obviously Derbyshire, although it was admittedly more accessible for the many Buntings in Norfolk.
                                                  An effort was made in 2005 to placate those Derbyshire Buntings when, for the first time, the venue for the gathering was moved from East Anglia to the beautiful Peak District village of Tissington, near Ashbourne, located within the private estate of Tissington Hall, home of eight generations of the FitzHerbert family. The gathering on that occasion drew a record attendance of around 90 society members, along with a number of non-members who welcomed the opportunity to join the society.
                                                  We have become even more ambitious in our choice of venue for subsequent annual gatherings. As well as a return visit to Tissington, the Buntings have assembled at East Barsham in Norfolk, Long Buckby in Northamptonshire and, last year, at Saighton near Chester. So Buckden represents the seventh point on the ‘Bunting map of the UK’. Any members who still feel unfairly isolated and unable to get to society gatherings are welcome to come forward with suggestions as to where else we might come together in future years.
