Hi,

It's the birth year 1765 I mentioned for John Bullions & birth year and date for all the direct descendants.

Hello,
I am researching the line of Bunyan, and have come upon a change of name from Bunyan to Bullion in the 1820s - 1830s

Its a bit sketchy so just looking to see if any one can confirm anything.

My gr gr gr gr gr grandfather being a Francis Bunyan born around 1827 in Prestwick, 4th of 5 children (Helen, Elizabeth, James, Francis, Anne) 

Some research points to Francis' father being John Bullion, born 1793 in Prestwick, dies 1855 in Prestwick.  married to an Elizabeth Forbes.

John Bullion's father is James Bullion, born about 1765 in Glenalmond Perthsire,
JOhn Bullion's mother is Helen Wallace, born unknown.

firstly looking to see if on the right track, and that any of these dates could be approximate.  then also intrigued as to why, if so,  John Bullion and Elizabeth Forbes named their five children Bunyan.

if so, if there are any further upward line or siblings from James Bullion from Glenalmond?

Sorry I can't add anything other than there are what seems quite a few variants of the name(s), possibly through misinterpretation?

Many people were illiterate & those being 'literate' wrote down what they thought it should be but spelling didn't settle until the early 1900s.

Some variants I found...
 
Bullion / Bunyan

BULLIAN - BULLION - BULYEON

BUNIAN - BUNION - BUNNIAN - BUNYEN - BUNYEON - BUNYIAN - BUNYION - BUNYN - BUNYON
