[mckha489]

2 sons, 3 daughters - that's all of them according to this notice

Illustrated London News 16 March 1850

Major-General A.D. Faunce C.B.
This gallant officer, whose death is just announced, was second son of Major Thomas Faunce, By Bridget his wife, daughter of E. Nugent Esq of Dublin, and grandson of Thomas Faunce esq of St Margaret's, Rochester, the descendant of a family settled in Kent since the reign of Edward VI.; and now represented, in it's senior branch, by Edmund Barrell Faunce, Esq of Sharsted Court.
General Faunce married Maria, daughter of _____ Goddart, (sic), Esq., and had two sons and three daughters.


They seem to be a family who always put notices in the paper. I think if there was a Martin who died there would be a notice.

Colonel Thomas Faunce died on Guernsey - so there is a C.I. connection

08 February 1890 - The Star - Saint Peter Port, Guernsey, Guernsey

Hello again & a special thank-you to you both (mckha489 & maddys52) for all the info. Yes, I've been through the will (also had that pointed out to me by another WikiTree member, i.e. 'Martin not mentioned in will'). I'm also accessing info. assembled by 'MonaroPioneers' - a local group and one Dr. David Powell who has done major research on Faunce families in Oz, plus of course the online material from biographical dictionaries, newspapers, etc.
Have just paused to read your latest feedback & totally agree. The more I read, the more I suspect that Martin does not seem to belong.
Again my sincere thanks for your interest and your responses.
P.S. Yes, thank you. I had noted that death of Col. Thomas Faunce also, thus my pursuing the C.I. angle. Sad to say there are numerous military Faunce's , manywith the same forenames.
