Avid Gone A-Hunting readers — and hopefully all Bunting Society members come into that category - would have been mystified by the reference, on the EDITORIAL page of the last issue of the journal, to an article purporting to follow in subsequent pages about a William Bunting who, in the mid 19th Century, proved to be an embodiment of the label 'jack of all trades'.

Those who turned eagerly to read the flagged arti ...

Adam Bunting born 1811

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 19:42:19 +0000

is there any reason why Adam's 2nd wife and family are not included in the family tree on Matlock 1? i have been trying to check this out but cannot find any trace of them on your site. you have quoted his details as found on the 1851/61/71 census and his other children and wife (Mary Knowles b1823, m1845) are clearly there. There are 10 further children and a stepchild.

Private information

Would someone kindly explain to me the privacy rules operating on the Bunting family tree charts on the web site? I have just looked at my family tree (Matlock 3) and in particular the details of my parents. I find my brother's details on the chart but mine are not shown and are marked as private. I do not recall being asked whether I wanted it this way and I cannot understand the Society's reluctance to show this information. Can it ...

Many surnames derive from occupations of yesteryear — miller, cooper, saddler and so on. Bunting cannot be readily categorised in that way. Apart from its well-known meanings of a bird or type of flag (or flag material), it can be the participle of the verb 'to bunt', a baseball stroke which has connections with the more common word 'butt'.

It is perhaps not surprising then that researchers into t ...

This edition of Gone A-Hunting marks more than one milestone in the history of the Bunting Society, some 23 years after its founding.

We sadly mourn the loss, at the age of 86, of one of the society's founder members who became its chairman and subsequently its president. George H Bunting (and we have to include his middle initial to distinguish him from other notable George Buntings who have played key roles in the society's ...

This year the Bunting Society's annual gathering is being held at Buckden in Cambridgeshire. It is a new location for the event, further evidence of the conscious effort made in recent years to spread our wings geographically in the choice of venue. During the society's early years, the location for the gathering remained unchanged, at Alpheton in Suffolk. That is until the special 10th anniversary gathering, which was held at Writtle Coll ...

Bunting twin born Monyash 1745

Our Derby Monyash tree commences with William Bunting (1745-1797). We know that he was born a twin but, exasperatingly, can find no detail whatsoever about this person. Any clues anybody?
