Hi Therese
Can you give us a bit more info to narrow it down, which part of the country were they living, have you found them on any census, childrens names and approx dates of birth.

Also from Familysearch
Ann BUSTARD bpt 27 Apr 1783 Powderham, Devon. Daughter of Charles BUSTARD & Agness, which would tie in nicely with the use of her maiden name as their son Philip's chrisitan name - Philip Bustard STOCKS.

* Emily married William Thomas Cosse Maurice BOLT, b. 18 June 1822. Died 13 September 1888 at 4:30 pm.
* No dates of death for John and William are given and it is possible that they were still alive when the Stocks entries were first made in the Bolt family Birthday Book.

No problem Therese but it might be a good idea to start a fresh post inc the info you have on the Devon board rather than it being lost as a 'Saxmundham Look Up' on the Suffolk board.
