hi
Anyone out there looking for Bunns. Particularly William H (prob Henry cos I think I found parents). He was born in Peldon, Colchester, Essex around 1811. The first census I can find for him is in Wrexham, Denbighshire in 1861. He married an Emma (born in Southampton around 1825) and looks like had his first 2 children in Limerick 1852 & 3. the rest were born in Wrexham (was he married before?) and why would he have gone to Ireland when everyone else was leaving. Anyone researching Bunns from Peldon know anything. Either the surname for Emma, marriage date or anything really. Thanks

Cheers Gadget, That sounds like my Lot. Any luck on Dulce (Dulcie, Dulsy) in Cyffylliog or Bettws (Gwerful Goch)

My Taid was called Keith Glasspoole up until 1934 (born 1911) He was born in Shrewsbury while his mother Nellie was in service. She didnt turn up for her chores one morning and when someone checked on her they found that she'd given birth during the night. Nobody knew she was pregnant. Anyway..... He changed his name for 2 shillings in 1934 to Williams after his stepfather.

Thanks gadget (didnt expect a reply so soon so next week will be great) and thanks Donna

No wonder I couldnt find them in 61c. Lot as Job & Dulce as Daley. How did you do it. I went to Ancestry (Ta!) and found it transcribed wrongly, but it all still fits. the children are the same. I did notice that Dulce still has her birthplace as Bettws though but on another c (51 or 71) it clearly says Cyffylliog.

My Nain's (great grandaughter of Lot) whole family had the nickname of 'The Lots' but nobody in the existing family can tell me why. Now its all starting to make sense. My Dad tells me that it was common to tag on a parents name to distinguish one John or Thomas from another and could be carried through generations. Thankfully the nickname stopped a generation or two ago.
