My connection to Bulkington is my 4xGreat Grandmother, Ann BUNNEY. She was baptised 2 August 1779 the daughter of Thomas BUNNEY & Martha GILBERT. Ann subsequently married Joseph Checklin at Sowe on 11 October 1797 and remained in that parish for the rest of her life. They had lots of children and she died on 6 April 1867. Her known siblings were: William (bap. 18 May 1774) Elizabeth (bap 18 April 1776) Thomas ( bap. 2 April 1785). Ann's father Thomas was baptised at Bulkington on 12 April 1747, the son of William & Mary (I have not yet locatd the marriage and Mary's surname) and lived in Bulkington all his life. Her known siblings were: Bartholomew (bap 10 Nov 1745) William (bap 21 June 1750) Elizabeth (bap 4 Apr 1754) Thomas's father William was baptised on 30 June 1723 at Bulkington and was the son of William & Elizabeth. He has no known siblings. The origins of William & Elizabeth are not yet known but they could be the William Bunney & Elizabeth Cox married at Coventry St Michael on 29 September 1791. Both are described as of Coventry and the marriage was by licence. Peter R Thompson Bedworth Warwickshire UK
