If you are having problems seeing text on this, or any other, web site then the following information may be useful to you.

We talked about Bunting Clocks at Long Buckby and also about Milton's Bunting Watch. Please see the information below from the British Museum concerning a Bunting watch. I will contact the Curator about a photograph. This watch is made by William Bunting. It seems to be the correct one. I had thought the maker was John Bunting (the grandfather clock maker) but his dates are wrong for Milton's lifetime.

Tony Bunting's photos of the October 2009 annual gathering at Long Buckby parts 1 and 2 are now in the Gallery under "20th Annual Gathering ". See instructions at the end of this posting on  how to access them.

Dear Buntons/Buntings

I am currently in Ausrtalia.  If anyone is near to my route and would like to meet up plese email me on mary.rix@one-name.org

hello all,

I am researching the family of Sarah Bunting then of Deansgate Manchester who married Henry Bould 1818, William Moseley 1823 and Joseph Mottershead 1827, she died in Macclesfield in 1839.

You may be aware of the following excellent sites but just in case here they are.

John BUNTING (1827-1914) married Elizabeth Ann MATHERS (1826-1902).  Both were born in County Armargh I believe.  John and Elizabeth settled in Maxwelltown, a region of Wanganui on New Zealand's North Island.  They had 5 children at the time the set off for NZ in 1863:  Maria (1850-1930), Edward John (1853-1930), Margaret (1853-1940), Letitia (1858-1919), Thomas (1861-1931).
