Dear All, The appearence of the Bucks 1871 census has resulted in me asking again to see if we can find a Harry Bunker born 1872 in Illinois, U.S.A. , according to the 1881 British census, that census has Harry living with his grandfather Jonas Bunker in Eddlesborough in Buckinghamshire , England. The background is that Jonas born Eversholt . Bedfordshire in 1814 married a Mary Gray in 1833 , born Whipsnade , Bedfordshire, in Eddlesborough, Buckinghamshire . Their numerous children were all baptised , rather peculiarly in Tilsworth ,Bedfordshire of these only 2 sons survived long enough to become fathers ie John Samuel bpt 1847 and Joel bpt 1851, presumably one of these two was Harry's father. Can the Illinois records tell me which ,and who his mother was? I am not aware either was in America and why Harry only 9 years later was back in England living with his grandfather might be an interesting story. Brian Bunker.
