Welcome to The Bunting Society Status of Web SiteThere are 92 Family Trees on the web site and over 22,300 individuals appear on these trees. If you are a paid up Society member and you cannot see yourself or close relations in your family tree let me know where you fit in and I will configure your log in to enable you to see details of yourself and close relatives. Without this set up you may find the family trees difficult to use.

Buntingwoodhi, in Bunting Society magazine issue 7 Buntingwood was mentioned- "Buntingwood is another place mentioned in Derbyshire records, in the ownership of Thomas and William Bunting, a 16th century record this and... obviously derives from the family name". Does anyone know where this reference came from / can offer any more detail? thanks
Basil BuntingHello, I've been trying to find the ancestors of the famous British poet, Basil Bunting (1900-1985). It was mentioned on this website that he is related to the Buntings of "Buntingfield," near Matlock, Derbyshire. These are my ancestors, too. Here is that data (my grandmother is Charlotte Bunting, on the bottom line): https://buntingtree.com/buntings/genealogy/bunting-line-of-descent/ I've tried using Ancestry.com to research Basil Bunting's ancestors, but without much luck. (Got back to his great-grandparents okay, and then it fizzled out.) If you know the details of Basil Bunting's ancestry - basically just his connection to Buntingfield (Anthony Bunting & Ellen Barker) - please let me know. I would be most grateful for any help. Thanks, Ross

Between 12 noon & 1pm I stripped the gun to clean it and put it together again. I put a magazine on the gun, placed it onto the parapet to fire a burst to test the gun. As I pressed the trigger, the sandbag on which the gun was resting gave way and the gun fall to the right. Before I could get my finger off the trigger, Rifleman Bunting who was standing on the right of the gun was shot and killed instantly.
Mary KnowlesDoes anyone have any further information regarding the two Mary Knowles' in the Matlock 1 tree? In 1845, Mary Knowles from Staffordshire bacame the 2nd wife of Adam Bunting, but it seems that his Grandfather also married a lady of the same name. This is such a strange coincidence and I would like to find out more about the first Mary Knowles if anyone could help me please. |
