Samuel Bunting ESS Birdbrook

Does anyone have any idea what happened to Samuel (b. 1846) and wife Mary Ann Barber after the 1871 Census? I'm wondering whether they may have emigrated, as his sister Ellen went to Queensland after her marriage to Alfred Anderson. Any info would be much appreciated. Fran

Long Buckby and Bunting clock and watchmakers including Milton's Bunting watch

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 23:07:09 +0000

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.

The watch is in the P...

Hope someone can help me with my search for members of my family tree! I had two great aunts (Floss & Ada) and an uncle (Dennis) who lived together in Northampton, all Buntings (all now deceased). I believe they had relatives somewhere in Derbyshire. Also I had a great auntie Lily who lived in Norwich. Thanks in advance for any info.
