Dear Sandra,

Thank you so much for the information on Albert Edwards, I had not considered him emigrating at such a young age. Assumed he had died between England Census's

Please could I also ask for some further help on the remaining Bunce children

Children
Edmund "Gordon Agnew, born 1908

Child
George Rollins (born Halton, Ontario 1905)

Bartlett Bunce (born Andover, Hampshire, England 1882)

Elizabeth Bunce unable to find any information on Elizabeth - suggestion was she married a Doc Pruitt, but there is nothing to support this

Isanta Henrietta Bunce (born Nassagaweya Township, Halton, Ontario Canada 1887 & Frederick Franklin (born England c1883)
Child
Lillian Franklin (born Beamsville, Lincoln, Ontario Canada 1912)

David Bunce (born Nassagaweya Township, Halton, Ontario Canada 1890) & Margaret Shields (born England c1890) - No further information, only that Margaret may have died in 1928.

Thanks, again for your help and assistance
