    1. [WSX] Pewsey/Calne baptisms BUNCE
    2. Colleen Andrews
    3. Does anyone have access to parish registers for the areas of Pewsey &/or Calne, Wiltshire? My great-great-grandparents William George BUNCE & Caroline Ann PONTING were married in Calne between July & September, 1883. However, they had births for 2 children registered during the same quarter, in different districts. Altogether they had 11 children, & rarely were 2 born in the same place consecutively (!)....before I go to the expense of ordering birth certificates for all their children, I wondered if anyone could find the baptisms of the first 2 so I could confirm they were the same ones. I suspect the oldest was born before her parents' marriage & registered at the same time as the next child, but wasn't this illegal? In 1891 the family was living in a caravan outside the Royal Oak Inn in Pewsey. In 1901 they were living in Warningcamp, Sussex. They apparently were very nomadic. Compiled from the 1891 & 1901 censuses as well as the index to civil registration, these were their children: Beatrice Ada BUNCE, birth registered Pewsey Distr, Oct-Dec 1883 Rosanna BUNCE, birth registered Calne Distr, Oct-Dec 1883 Maud BUNCE, born 1886 Pewsey George BUNCE, born 1887 Calne William BUNCE, born 1890 Newbury, Berks. Priscilla Phoebe BUNCE, born 1891 Pewsey, death registered Oct-Dec 1894 in Pewsey Frederick BUNCE, born 1893 Calne Edith Emily BUNCE, born June 21, 1894 Marsh Cottages, Clyffe Pypard (this is my gr-grandmother & I have her birth cert) Jane BUNCE, born 1897 Maidenhead, Berks. Annie BUNCE, born 1899 Aldershot, Surrey Beatrice Florence BUNCE, born January 1901, Warningcamp, Sussex TIA, Colleen Andrews
