1851 and later lookup please- Edward J Bunnett

[SJHK]

Can anyone help me find the whereabouts of Edward J Bunnett born in Attleborough, Norfolk in c1843 and appearing in Withycombe Rawleigh, Devon in 1881 census.  He married Ellen Easter in 1879 in Devon, but I haven't been able to get any other information on them. 

Any help would be very welcome.

Hi Sarah. Not having much luck with this man I am afraid.  Thought I had him in 1871 with a wife and family but located that man in 1881 in Yorkshire so not him.

In 1841 there is a large family in Attleborough. Here they are in 1851 no Edward unfortunately but there is a John (? Edward J)

Here is the 1841 entry.

HO107/0781 Folio 24 Page 7

BUNNETT James 35 Y (Yes born in County) Labourer
BUNNETT Hariett 35 Y wife
BUNNETT James 15 Y

BUNNETT Clementine 10 Y
BUNNETT Geo 9 Y
BUNNETT Har^t 6 Y
BUNNETT Mary Ann 4 Y
BUNNETT Rob^t 2 Y
BUNNETT Jamima 6 Months Y

they seem this family do a bit of name switching. 1861 has only Emma with her parents. Here in 1841 we have Jamima 6 Months, 1851 we have Algerone 11 and 1861 lists an Adelaide 20. 

Good Luck ..............Kris

Wow.lots of info to digest.  Many thanks.

Not sure if the first two are the my family but the other two seem to fit.  How do you find the barracks info?  Is this definitely the only Bunnett in the army at that time?  I don't have any experience of military records so not sure what to do.
