Hi, I've only just started looking into my family history. Would be grateful if anyone could let me know if any of these people ring any bells, as I'm keen to make contacts and/or share information.
Frederick Bunting (b. 1863/4) married to Emily (don't know surname) born c.1863. They were both born at Worthen, Salop. According to the 1901 census, they were living at The Patch, Yockleton at that time.
They had a daughter, Emily, born c.1888. Also 4 sons, Frederick, William, George and Albert Edward (my grandfather).
Albert Edward Bunting married Emma Wood. His brother William Bunting married Emma's sister, Sarah ('Sallie') Wood. Emma and Sarah had 3 brothers and 5 sisters and at the time of the 1901 census the family was living at Mount Cottage, Weston Rd, Baschurch.
Any information re. the Woods and/or the Buntings gratefully received.
Thanks,
Helen

Hi Helen
You don’t mention the 1881 census? This is freely available to search and look at on the www.familysearch.org website, as well as some others. For Frederick Bunting it shows him living with his parents, James and Anne and a number of brothers and sisters. I haven’t listed them as it will be easy for you to find them yourself.
Good luck with the searching – welcome to the club. Any problems feel free to send me a Personal Message.
Regards
John

Thanks for replying, John, and apologies for not thanking you earlier :-/
I now have a pay-per-view subscription at Ancestry.co.uk, which has given me access to censuses 1871-1901 inclusive - this has of course helped me enormously. Still stuck in a couple of places, but generally very happy with the progress of my research :-)
Best,
Helen
