A small piece taken from my upcoming book - Bunston Family Revisited The youngest child of George Bunstone and Ann Patten was born in West Chinnock likely in December 1847.  His birth was registered in January 1848, and he was baptised there on January 16, 1848.  Like his sister, Sarah, John is listed in the 1851 census with a T in his surname (Bunston) where his parents and brother do not.  He was three years old at the time, with 12 years between him and his sister.

  A small piece taken from my upcoming book - Bunston Family Revisited Ellen was born in Torquay, Devon around September 1867.  She was three years old at the time of the 1871 census when she lived at the family’s lodging house with her parents and younger sister. In 1881, Ellen was a 13-year-old schoolgirl.  She still lived with her family.  By 1891 the 23-year-old had no occupation listed.  She still lived with her family, so I would assume she would help with the family business.  Five years later, around October 1896, Ellen married Robert Henry Skinner.  ..read more

 So I gave myself a Christmas present last year and got my DNA tested through Ancestry.com.  I'm still trying to work out everything, but there were no real surprises. My parents are my parents, so that is good.  I have a friend that found out recently that he was a 0% match to his dad... awkward! Also turns out I'm descended from the UK - as if we didn't already know.  So no secret Chinese, Indian, German, Russian ancestors... but I did get a few new connections for my tree and that is always good ..read more
