I finally found him in the 1920 U.S. Census. He's living in Waterbury, Conn. with his wife Pearl (Godfrey), his in-laws (John L. and Linda A. Godfrey), and his two children, Ralph and George I. (prob. Irving). Ralph is 12, and George is 3. Now I find that there is a Ralph Bunker (born: June 23, 1907 -- died: August, 1976) in Middlebury, Conn. The info. is from the SSDI file. And I find a George Bunker (born: Jan. 14, 1917 -- died: June, 1985) in Waterbury, Conn. The info. is from the SSDI file. Bur most significantly, I found Pearl Bunker (born: Mar. 19, 1883 -- died: June 15, 1966) My hunch is that these two gentlemen are the sons of Irving Bunker and Pearl Godfrey. And far more probable, Pearl Bunker was the spouse of Irving Bunker. Do we have any Bunker Assoc. members who live in this area of the United States who could assist me in doing a little checking to see if my "hunch" is a good one?" Because I live in CT I previously wrote of trying to find an obit for Pearl Bunker through my local librarian working with the Waterbury librarian. No luck. Then using the SS Death Index date of June 15, 1966,I requested from Waterbury a death certificate for Pearl Bunker which was returned "no record." On a tip from our invaluable historian Bette Richards, I tried again using her suggestion of the CT death index date of March 7, 1966 and eureka here is the information from her death certificate which I now have in hand. Pearl Bunker died in New Haven County, town of Waterbury at the East End Conv. Hospital on Yale Avenue. Her usual residence was New Haven, Middlebury. Sex, Female; Race, white; widowed. Husband was Leroy Bunker. Her date of death was March 7, 1966, age, 82; date of birth March 19, 1883. Cause of death Broncho-pneumonia with contributing condition not related to the death multiple arthritis of spine and all joints. Her birthplace was Lockport, PA and her parents were John L. Godfrey, birthplace, PA, and Linda Griffith, birthplace, PA. The informants name was Glenn Bunker and Glenn is typed in over a crossed-out name of "Leroy." She was buried March 9, 1966 in Old Pine Grove Cemetery, Waterbury, CT. Pamela Lithgow Briggs
