Hi Jodie 101 and all
Have found the following on the back of an old photo which might be of interest re children of William Muntan Bullivant.

" Aunt Rosa Bullivant, sister of William Pelham Bullivant married Leslie Vigers (later President of the Surveyors Institute and valuer to the first London Underground Railways), a very good aunt indeed and a faithful customer of the Army & Navy Stores for at least 40 years who lived at 5 Eaton Terrace"

another photo has the following
" Lance Vigers, Rosa's son killed on the Western front in 1916......"

Hi Jody 101
My deduction would be that William Muntan Bullivant's architect  would be George Vigers b 1854. The Bullivant wire rope factory started building in 1883 when WMB was 56 years old. At this time his George Vigers was "a famous architect" which implies a track record. The GV of 1854 would have been about 30 years old whereas the GV of 1871 would have been only 12 years old.  Hope this helps

Hi again, sorry no photos.
 Did you know that the other Bullivant -Vigers marriage was in 1885 and was between Rosa May Bullivant and Leslie Robert Vigers. Leslie was named as one of the executors in the will of William Munton Bullivant.
Mary Chappell Vigers and Leslie Robert's grandfather were brother and sister.

Ji Jody - If you were not aware it was George Vigers who was the architect who designed and built William Munton Bullivants factory on the London wharf which was eventually  taken over by British Ropes.

Hi again Jodi
Yes have those but thanks for providing missing middle names.

I notice that you are interested in 'Earle' of Hull. I have a George Earl (without an e ? which am checking) of Hull, married a Doris and was awarded a medal by Tsar of Russia. Most of my branches have strong links with Hull.

Hi Jody 101
Wonderful. Fits perfectly. BTW the marriage date I have for WPB and JR is 23 Feb 1881. Thanks so much
Do you by any chance have any portrait/photo of Mary Chappell Vigers or Thomas Bullivant?
Thanks again

Hi Jodi 101
Yes William Munton Bullivant was my 2nd Gt Grandfather.  He was an inventor and I believe he solved getting wire rope to be flexible by using steel and hemp. Am interested in Mary (or is it Ann)Vigers his mother who married Thomas Bullivant as have no dates except possible marriage date of  1822.
Also have no dates for WM's son William Pelham Bullivant or his wife Jessie Ritchie.
Any help would be appreciated

If you still are looking for Bullivants I have direct links listed from Robert Bullivant b abt 1460 believed from Leicester through to William Pelham Bullivant (Bayswater?) but still searching for many b/d dates especially for spouses.
