Bunch Family

[trish1120]

Welcome to Rootschat Karen Lorraine,

I see Joyces Death Reg Thanet, Kent.

I am a bit confused though as she would only be 14/15 when Peter was born. Is this correct?
Do you know where Frank/Joyce married?

I cant find a Marriage on FreeBMD.
Also your dates are out;
Birth Reg;
Peter F 1935
Derek E 1936
David G E 1937
Ronald E 1939
There are others but I cant post on here as they may be living.

And his father was Frank Bunch (dates unknown)  He was married to Joyce Anne Crawford

Can't see a marriage either.
Where has this come from ?

[trish1120]

Is there any way you could get your late Fathers Birth Cert from someone in the Family?
Or your Parents Marriage Cert.
Both should have info to try and track Frank Bunch.

I presume you never met him?
