Ideas needed on the name 'Shunpilder' please?

[Rosinish]

Hi folks,

Looking for any clues/ideas to this anomily?

1st column (bottom entry)…

My interest is only in finding out about this name as I’m working on this line (a new one) & I have a lot of research ahead which I’m enjoying but this is a huge mystery.

Julius Shunpilder Cunningham b 1888 Slamannan, Stirling, Scotland

What I’m wondering/hoping is whether there may have been a slight error on the index i.e. the name ‘SHUNPILDer’ being something a little different to what it looks?

I have checked over the doc for letter comparison & the only thing which looked slightly out was the ‘d’ which I’d thought may have been ‘st’ but looks nothing like the others i.e. has to be a ‘d’.
I have scoured the ‘net’ & can find absolutely nothing in relation to the name/word in any context.

I feel I’m trying to fit square pegs into round holes as the maiden name of Julius’ g/mother was SHAW i.e. been trying to make this fit for the beginning but at a complete loss as to the rest as even at a push (which it is), the 5th letter is not a capital letter & it does look like ‘Shunpilder’!

Any ideas on where the name was derived from would be greatly appreciated!

It does look like Shunpilder, Annie. There's nothing on Google - nearest is Shunpike.

Have you followed the family back or are there maybe any families in the area that might link to the name

Gadget,

I found exactly the same i.e. zilch!

Going further back, I'm still working on the parents of Julius & their background but thought I'd throw this in for ideas as it's got me baffled!

I had wondered if it may have had something to do with some sort of employment term, actually any light on it at all 

This is my wee grandson's line, only started last week i.e. early days & exciting

Ancestry surnames suggest Bilder (?Jewish). 

I was wondering if there were any 'famous' locals/nationals called Julius <something that sounded like Shunpilder> around that time.

Have you looked at the 1913 Buckhaven wedding to Mary Ward for a possible confirmation of the middle name??

I think this has to be one of the strangest names ever & I've seen many although not my own lines but it does raise a smile, certainly did when I saw it!

This chap went 'AWOL' (story from other g/mother) so this one could be very interesting!

From what I've looked at so far, he doesn't use even the initial 'S' for his middle name on anything, I wonder why

Edit to add, Yes Malky, I have the marriage, he also joined the Army (3 yrs Short Service) & doesn't ever use anything apart from Julius!

His RN was 11886 and declared unfit for duties after 45 days. Ancestry has a few pages about him in their Army records.

Malky,

I have all the pages, not had time to read through everything yet but the name is my query only at this time as I've a lot of research still to do as it's a new venture.

The name 'Shunpilder' doesn't appear anywhere else (to my knowledge) from what I've researched to date (well in the last week)

I will leave it to you then.
