Would love to find information for John/Jack Bunting born 1883 Bonsall. . John Bunting was married to Annie Spencer in 1911 and had a daughter Julia who died shortly after. Annie Spencer in the census is indicated as having passed in 1912. John/Jack is the father of my mother, Marjorie Bunting, born 1924, Derby, Derbyshire. Mother’s name is Agnes Maude Bunting nee Hill, also, was previously married to Alfred Hawkins Paine. My mother left England in 1944 when she married an American G.I. in Shardlow. Some of the names that have popped up in my research and ancestry DNA is Bunting, Gratton, Doxey. My grandfather, John Bunting died in 1931 in Derby at the age of 48, my Mum was only 7 years at the time. Marjorie lost contact with her family sometime in early 1960. I would love to hear from some one connected to the Buntings of Bonsall to see if anyone has any memory or knowledge of John/Jack and my Mum.

Hello,
I’ve been trying to find the ancestors of the famous British poet, Basil Bunting (1900-1985). It was mentioned on this website that he is related to the Buntings of “Buntingfield,” near Matlock, Derbyshire.
These are my ancestors, too. Here is that data (my grandmother is Charlotte Bunting, on the bottom line):
https://buntingtree.com/buntings/genealogy/bunting-line-of-descent/
I’ve tried using Ancestry.com to research Basil Bunting’s ancestors, but without much luck. (Got back to his great-grandparents okay, and then it fizzled out.)
If you know the details of Basil Bunting’s ancestry – basically just his connection to Buntingfield (Anthony Bunting & Ellen Barker) – please let me know. I would be most grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Ross
