Norfolk / Re: Bullen - Ann Boleyn
« on: Tuesday 18 January 11 20:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Mo,
 Have spoken to mother and this is the information she has given me. Daniel came back from Durham and married Anna Webster. They had two children Alice Mary Ann known as Polly and John.   Polly had two boys outside of marriage ( father unknown) and when she fell pregnant again Daniel insisted she marry, this was to John Bird father of Dorothy and Lily.This is why Wilfred and Bertie both had the Bullen surname! Minnie Totman couldnt have been their mother ( Polly and John) as they were born after she died, we think he married her while in Durham and returned to Norfolk after her death, but he never spoke of this time to the family here. Hope this helps things look clearer.
regards Barb

Hi Mo , thanks for your reply, this is the information I have but will have to check with my mother. Daniel married  Anna Webster and they had two children, Polly and John. John married a Meehan and they had a daughter Lily who married E Dove and had a son John. Will have to check this out. Polly had 4 children Wilfred who was killed in the 1st world war ,Herbert who married Jane, I remember these from my childhood as my mother spent a lot of time with them. Dorothy who married George Page, who are my grandparents, and Lily who married Ned Childerhouse. A few years age a distant relative from Washington Tyne and Ware got in touch with my mother as he said his great grandfather was a Daniel Bullen a miner from Norfolk, is it the same Daniel and did he have a family while working the coalmines? I know that Daniel was a colourful character, I have several photos of him on his 100 birthday, my mum ised to help him on his farm but missed this special celebration as she was living in Rhodesia at the time. I must of met him but cannot remember as I was aged 2 when he died. Hope this is of some help to you, as I said I will ask mum about the other names you mentioned as Pollys children.
regards Barb.

Hi, have just discovered this web site and looked up Daniel Bullen. He is my great great grandfather, and  I have started to research his family. I know that when he returned from Durham he married  Anna Webster and they had one daughter called Polly (real name Alice Mary Anne,)  She married a John Bird and had 4 children, Wilfred, Bertram Dorothy and Lilian. Dorothy was my grandmother. Daniel was born in Stow Bedon in 1847 and died in 1951.
