Hi Helen,

Not sure if you solved the ancestry problem but I logged in to ancestry.co.uk and entered in Edward Bunton in the search field with a birth date of 1888 and then added Canada to the "lived in (residence)" box.  It returned a about 10 records from Canada and then from the US.  Maybe you can do the same to see if you get the same results.

I have uncovered some long buried stuff and I think you are looking for my grandfathers (Francis Bunton/Bunten) brother.  His father was Hugh Bunten, mother Helen Bunten (nee Margaret Skachill).   Granddad did live at 145 Richmond St. W. Toronto when he signed up to serve in WW1.  I have some other stuff including a Certificate of Death from the Province of Manitoba for an Edward Bunten, registered Nov. 16, 1967 and it list his parents as Hugh Bunten and Ellen Skachill

They had a son named Edward. He worked as a telegraph operator as you can discover through an Internet search. An Edward A. Bunton whose life dates are given as June 24, 1923 - October 18, 2013 appears in an online obituary guestbook at

I believe that's the son of Francis and Ethel.
