The trouble with tieing up loose ends is that often they tie you up. In the index to the 1881 British census, we appear to have a Devon family moving to Durham ( county not necessarily the town) Details " Head " Robert b Devon 1845; Children Robert John b 1865,Albert Thomas b 1867 Emily Thirza b 1870, Mary Ellen b 1873, Fredrick Charles b 1875 , all b Devon. Then Samuel b 1878 and Henry b 1880 , both in Durham. There doesn't seem to be a wife "available except ,possibly , Carline b 1846, Durham in 1881. Unfortunately Carline's birth county is not given ; was it Devon? She is entitled ,"wife". Does anybody know this family ? Reason for move ? Well, by the 1880's agriculture was collapsing and quite a few Bunkers went north to coalmine ; they must have been desperate. Best Wishes to all, Brian Bunker.
