Do you know Samuel's parents names or year of birth or area presumed born? Can't find him or Sarah on 1901 census so presume they're still in Ireland?

Sarah died 1920 in Dumbarton, is this where he was from perhaps?

An update ...

I have found out that Sarah Bunting may have resided in Omerbane Rd, Glenravel or Cloughmills Ballymena. This was possibly with a relative Sam Bunting also known as 'Black Sam'. Sam Bunting died in the 1960's and the house he lived in remains standing.

The neighbours across the street were the Lowrie's.

I have also found that my Grandfather Samuel Telford lived with 'Granny Campbell' from about 1920 when Sarah Bunting died in Scotland. I am not sure of the relationship between the Telford and the Campbells so this MAY be a friend of the family OR a relative just not sure on which side of the family.

hopefully this has shed some more light on it and will assist in locating the Buntings and the Telfords in the area.
