    3. Dear List: I sent out the below request for help quite some time ago but unfortunately had no response. I thought I might try it one more time before I discard it. Possibly someone researching the Bunt family might have some helpful data. Again, I would like to thank the OPC’s for their help in getting this far. Kindest regards, Gordon Dear List After several years of chasing my CRABB tree, I arrive at the doorstep of William Crabb who married Elizabeth Bunt in Cardinham in 1762. Their son John who married ( I believe) Mary Kelly in St Austell circa 1792 is my direct line. The problem now is William. There were no Crabb families in Braddock/Cardinham in 1762. There are no deaths of an adult William Crabb to be found in Braddock/Cardinham. But William and Elizabeth were married in Cardinham and raised their family in Braddock. Where did he come from? Where did he go? What was his age? Who were his parents? The marriage entry lists no parents for William and indicates he was living in the area at the time. I have no conclusive evidence of anything. None I am leaning to him being William Crabb of Lanlivery the son of John Crabb and Elizabeth Berry who were married in Fowey. They raised their family in Lanlivery then they too disappeared. William Crabb of Lanlivery was born in 1724 which would have made him 15 years older than Elizabeth Bunt. That concerns me a little. The only clues I have ( based on my limited genealogy experience) are two items. but I have no proof. 1. Lanlivery is a lot closer to Cardinham than other William Crabb’s who would be in the appropriate age bracket at that time. 2. When I examine the names of the children of William and Elizabeth, I find them to be the same names as the siblings of William of Lanlivery. Obviously that is not proof and gives me little satisfaction. The OPC’s have been very helpful with their efforts and I would like to thank them for their support but I still have no proof. My hope is that there may be someone on the list who has researched this family and can take me a step further. I would appreciate any help. Kindest regards, Gordon Crabb, USA
