Thanks for that Sue,  my uncle told me that one of the Bunnys came to London as a policeman about the 1850s because he was tall and they took all the tall policemen to London.  And there he is, william Bunny, being a policeman in London in 1861.  Not sure how tall he was!

Hi Sue,
I follow the thinking, but I dont know Kate's mother's maiden name.  That makes sense though.  Nanna took in Tabitha Bishop when she already had 5 children in a small 3 bedroom house and never enough money, so there had to be some strong connection between them.  I can look into Kate's mother's name.
Tabitha's mother, Priscilla was a Sampson before married, so that explains one of the boys being William Sampson.
Thank you so much.
Diane

I would love details, Sue. 
Kate Bunny was her maiden name, born in Penryn and registered at Falmouth, she married Frederick John Williams in August 1886 in London. Her father was William Bunny, a gateman, and she was listed as living in Lamb Building in Temple.  I dont know when she came to London, but Kate and Frederick had 2 daughters, one of whom was my grandmother.
We know Tabitha lived with the family in the 1940s, everyone called her Mrs.  presumably because the kids couldnt say Tresidder.  She died about 1944.
Anything you can add would be very welcome.  How do you come to be looking at Tabitha Bishop?  How does she fit in your line?
Thanks
Diane

My great-grandmother was Kate Bunny, born Penryn. My grandmother (her daughter) had a lady living with her who was born Tabitha Bishop in Perranarworthal.  Tabitha aged 12 appears in the 1871 census living at Tullamorr with her mother, Priscilla (nee Sampson) and brother John.
The Bishops and the Bunnys are related, but how?  Does anyone know any more?
