A Love Bunker died in Madras ,India in the period 1850 -1859; seeing as the entry is in the records of British army chaplins, presumably she was the wife or daughter of a serving British soldier, perhaps of Richard or Julius ,qv, both of whom served in India and for whom no info has been forthcoming . It strikes me that Love might be an error for Lovey a Devon Christian name or perhaps a name given to an Indian wife.Can anybody clarify ? Have we any Bunker members in India? There were also a lot of British soldiers in the West Indies , particularly in the Napoleonic Wars early in the C19 but I know of no source for them. Death by disease was rampant there. I have no access to American records but can anyone assure me that no Bunkers were killed in the war of 1812 - 1814 on the British side, the British had a large number of casualties in the battle of New Orleans in 1814 , fought after peace had been made. Are there any listings in N.O. for such casualties? Brian Bunker

Brian, The Bunker Family History has a list of veterans that served in the War of 1812 on page 101. I have no other info, just what is in the book.
