buried 29.2.1766
6.6.1762 James          - ditto -
24.6.1765 Ann            - ditto -

There are more in the 1810s and 20s, but I'm assuming - from what you said - that you've got those.

19.9.1807 William Bunce, pauper

Thank you so much, Jill.  Much appreciated.
I am still wondering where William BUNCE came from.
I believe he married Elizabeth HUNT in Amersham 24 April 1757 but I can get back no further without finding out where he came from.  His marriage says OTP.
If you should have any ideas I would welcome your thought........

I'm sure you realise that just because it says 'otp' on his marriage record, it doesn't mean anything more than he'd been there for a few weeks prior to the marriage.

I'd suggest you request a marriage and baptism name search from Bucks FHS. They're very good and it doesn't cost much - if my memory serves me right it's £3 for a surname for 100 year period per database - but check out their website. You can even get the search results emailed to you now so it takes very little time. Check out their parish coverage first to make sure the parishes you're interested in are covered (there are some gaps, but not many).
