Hi - trying to get more information regarding my great-gandmother, Ruby Bunn, born 1915, married Frederick Griggs 1934 approx, died 1982. Mothers maiden name Ward and believe father to be Charles Bunn, though not sure of this. Trying to find out if she had any siblings Thanks

Some of these may be siblings?

Births Jun 1913 (>99%)
Bunn Victor F A Ward Smallburgh 4b 92

Births Mar 1915 (>99%)
Bunn Frances G Ward Smallburgh 4b 92
Bunn Irene H Ward Smallburgh 4b 92

Births Sep 1915 (>99%)

Bunn Rose M Ward Smallburgh 4b 65

Births Mar 1920 (>99%)
Bunn Eva Ward Forehoe 4b 413
Bunn Fred Ward Forehoe 4b 413

If you're not sure of father's name, then you could either buy the birth cert. or the marriage cert.

Any idea of mother's name?

If you're not sure about this either, then I would suggest buying the birth cert. first as this should give you both their names.

CHARLES Bunn m. Ward in Northamptonshire

As with your BRAWN family, you need the birth cert..............

Do you have any evidence to suggest the father is called Charles ?

Only anecdotally - if thats how you spell it and not from a very reliable source

Hello again I have received the birth certificate now-father is Charles Bunn who married Elizabeth E Ward in 1914. I am now stuck as still desperate to find out if Ruby had siblings and unsure how to proceed. Would also like to trace Elizabeth further back but its a very popular name!

Thanks Reggie for the freebmd hint- very useful

Can anyone help me get a bit further?

As they married in 1914 then the mmn is on the Birth GRO record .

Look on FreeBMD using the surname combination the same as it shows for Ruby,s birth record

England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007 about Elizabeth E Bunn

Birth Date: abt 1882
Date of Registration: Sep 1954

so she was born c 1882 and the marriage cert will name her father ,if known

As the marriage was Wellingborough

Could this be her birth?

Births Jun 1882 (>99%)

You need the marriage certificate to see if her father is named

You will have found, there is only one Elizabeth Emma born in 1882 (although there are 2 in 1881) - registered Caxton. Think this could be her in 1911 as the marriage to Charles was in Northamptonshire:
