Find Ancestors

Hi Shirley I have had another look for the Bunyans cannot find them .I guess they must be in deepest Bucks. Mary

Constance Thanks for replying so quick. I think he would have been about 52/53 years of age. born Dorton. Mary would have been 32. Shirley

Hi Shirley I have looked on the Oxon 1871 census and can find no Bunyans that fit. The best I found was: Living in Gt Haseley Thomas Bunning 33 Shepherd b Gt Haseley Mary Bunning Wife 32 b Denchworth No children with them I will check for children in case they are with another family. Regards Mary

I am trying to find a Bunyan family consisting of Thomas (farm labourer) wife Mary Ann. age 32. The trouble is he changes his surname to Buning, Bunning and Bunnion. They may have dughters Sophia age 4 and Elizabeth age 1. They moved between Oxfordshire and Bucks and in 1881 were in the Union workhouse Thame Oxfordshire. Thanks for your offer. Shirley

Hi Debbi WOW That was quick for the Royal Mail. I hope I can help you again sometime. Kind regards Mary

Good morning Constance, By 7.30am the census print outs were here thank you.What a excellent service from the Post Office and also from you too. Many thanks Debbi xxxx

Thank you so much Constance. Why not keep hold of him for a few days incase you turn somthing else up for me. I think the brothers were all children of John and Mary Monk.John was born Sherbourne too I believe or though cant remember why I think this lol! I realise Sherbourne is in Gloucs which is a shame as not within your range :) Oh well off to bed for now and I will start again with a fresh head tomorrow. Thank you again. Debbi xxxx

I posted your prints late afternoon,so will send the Charles Monk print tomorrow. Don't forget if you need any Ancestry lookups get in touch Regards Mary

Dear Constance, I do hoope to visit Taynton one day as someone at the church did a through search of the registers for me and I promosed to visit to thank him personally and to give a donation to the church there. Debbi xxxx ps you have 2 emails from em.One were I am being my usual over excitable self and then the correct info is in the 2nd email :) pss Have you got Charles on 1861 please?

Hi Debbi Glad I have been able to help,if you need any Ancestry lookups get in touch as I have full UK subscription. Sadly it was not me in Devon I was in Wales. If ever you get the chance to visit Taynton do go there,in my opinion it is one of the most beautiful Cotswold villages and it never has hordes of "innits". Good luck with your research Mary

Constance, John MONK married a Hannah Hedges and Harriet is her sister. John,Joseph and Charles are brothers.There is also a William who is my direct ancestor being my great great grandad!! Thank you so much for filling out my tree today.I only had bare branches but now have something to add to the story. By the way, I live in Devon and the other week was chatting to a lovely hubby and wife from your area.Wasnt you was it?? Debbi xxxx

Hi Debbi Ignore my last message I have found the following: Living in Asthall Joseph Monk 37 Carter b Sherbourne Elizabeth Monk 34 Wife b Asthall John Monk 11 Son Scholar b Asthall William Monk 8 son Scholar b Asthall Charles Monk 5 son Scholar b Asthall Clara Monk 2 daur b Asthall Living at 12 George Yard,Burford Charles Monk 41 Ag Labourer b Sherbourne Catherine Monk 41 Wife b Brize Norton William Monk 12 Son School monitor b Sherbourne Elizabeth Monk 10 daur School teacher b Sherbourne Regards Mary

Hi Debbi Have checked out the Monk personel in Witney,Burford, Brize Norton and Asthall on the 1871 census and no heads of household were born in Sherbourne. Do you have any idea of when they emigrated to Oxon as 1871 may be too late. There are a lot of people with the surname Monk but they are scattered all around the Witney area in many different villages and to look them all up will take many hours. Any more info you can provide would be great. Regards Mary

Hi Debbi I have had a quick look on the index and there are a fair few Monks'.Will check them out tomorrow and post a message.

Oh yes please flower, may I have any MONK familys that you find in Burford, Witney, Asthall and Brize Norton if its not too much trouble. The head of house will in most cases be born Sherbourne Gloucs. Thank you very much Debbi xxxxx

thanks Mary Tracy
