	Claire, Possibly Justblu is no longer checking this thread as he first posted over a year ago. You could try and send him a message by clicking on his name, that way genes will contact him directly.

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 2 Send Message	Hi, I am too trying to trace an Edward Bunyan. Mine married a Charlotte Jackson in 1830 and is listed as a widower. I am now thinking that my Edward is the same as your Edward. Any ideas that this may be true?? Thanks Claire

	Couples were known to have children before they married. Joseph and Rebecca were 72 yrs old in 1881 so not born 1816. Remember that the 1841 census rounded ages down to the nearest 5.

	Edward did not marry Martha till 1812 at Bexley

	How do you know that Joseph is Emma's uncle? There are no relationships given in 1841 Joseph is young enough to be Edward's son, Emma could be his sister. Found this ....which fits age wise with being 72 in 1881 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOSEPH BUNYAN Event(s): Birth: Christening: AUG 1809 Hatfield, Hertford, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: EDWARD BUNYAN Mother: MARTHA
