Birth or Marriage Edward BUNNETT

[charlie55]

  I am totally stuck with tracing information about my Paternal GGrandfather Edward BUNNETT. On the 1881 census, Edward's place of birth is listed as Nettlebro' Norfolk. This place does not exist, and I believe he was actually born in Attleborough, Norfolk. According to the 1881 census, he was born about 1844 - the 1991 census suggests this to be 1846. The 1881 census gives his wife's name as Ann born Saham, Norfolk about 1845. The family moved to Sheffield prior to 1881. Any information appreciated.

The birth place is not clearly written. It could easily be Attleborough - the other places don't seem to exist. Attleborough registers in Wayland but can't pick up his birth or marriage on my resources. If you would like this image send Email address.

Hello

As Tricia says the birthplace is not written clearly.  I looked on my disc to see if I could soom in and have done so.  The schedule number is 43
Edward Bunnett Head Mar 25 Sawyer Attlebourgh (Definitely)
Ann wife 26 Saham (This would be Saham Toney nearby)
Louisa daur 6
William son 2
Sophia Holiday visitor Wid 26 (unclear as the cross is through it) Dressmaker Saham
Emma Holiday visitor 3 Shipdham (just up the road as well)
James Nichols Lodger Unm 29 Carpenter Shipdham

I looked in Carbrooke for them in 1861 but couldn't see them so maybe he is in Attleborough.  I'll have a look.

Hi Brian
Thanks for the hard work! I think the family you found is the right one - been trying to make the link for ages. Interestingly the Samuel you found later married a Sophia who was older than him - could this be the one visiting Edward? The trail is warming up.
