Lookup request for BUNDY Wiltshire

[pjbruen]

Hi

Many thanks for your reply. I think I'm a way off getting back to the 1500's......but I'll certainly bear your reply in mind. I'm sure you're right, they'll be a connection somewhere, I probably need to track back a couple of generations to tie a lot of it together.

Thanks again...

Paul

Hi "Wee Eeyin"

We were right......

On another genealogy forum, I managed to get in touch with a David Bundy. Due to the considerable amount of research you must have completed yourself, I'd imagine you may have come across him yourself somewhere.

Anyway, David sent me his tree (dating back to THOMAS BUNDY born 1688) who had 3 sons & 1 daughter (Thomas abt1709, Mary abt1712, Nicholas abt1712 and Joel abt 1712).

To cut a long story short....down the generations it ties in with my GG-Grandfather (Geroge Bundy 1867).

So, more than happy to put you and David in touch if you would like to email me at

Hello

Just bookmarking at present time.  Just started my aunt's (through marriage) tree and she seems to descend from the Snelgroves mentioned.  Early days.

Hi pjbruen

I am related to the Bundy's you are researching. It sounds like you have found out some interesting info. The furthest back I have been able to trace them is to William I Bundy, born 1540 Amesbury, Wiltshire, , England. Let me know if you haven't managed to get back that far and I'll help fill in some blanks, or if you have gone back even further please let me know.

Cheers,
Hugh

I am very familiar with Carol (RE the web site you used where reference was made that William and Henry were Wood Turners). I don't know if this was Carol's mistake, or whether she got this information from elsewhere and it was the mistake of somebody else. Maybe somebody thought the furniture the Eastmans made was made out of actual wood... I have no idea.

The Eastmans were, without a doubt, basket weavers in general, but they did make furniture out of reeds or cane or whatever it was as well. Small pieces of furniture though - chairs and baby's cradles and such. But the main line of business was baskets.

I noticed this post that said the information on my website about William and Henry Eastman being wood turners is incorrect.  Although basket weaving was the family's main line of business, it is not inconceivable that a couple of Eastman's actually worked with wood rather than reeds. 
The information on my website regarding William and Henry Eastman being wood turners came from Kelly's Directory, 1855.  It is considered to be a reliable source of information.

 Also, I have made mention on my website that the family was widely known for basket making.  I referenced that fact on one of the several photos on my website of their basket weaving shop.
"The Eastman family was well known in the art of basket making.  It was a familiar sight to see a bundle of withies soaking in the river, prior to use."
I have tried to make sure that all information on my website is as accurate as possible and source information available.  Thank you.

Hi John,

I am very familiar with Carol (RE the web site you used where reference was made that William and Henry were Wood Turners). I don't know if this was Carol's mistake, or whether she got this information from elsewhere and it was the mistake of somebody else. Maybe somebody thought the furniture the Eastmans made was made out of actual wood... I have no idea.

The Eastmans were, without a doubt, basket weavers in general, but they did make furniture out of reeds or cane or whatever it was as well. Small pieces of furniture though - chairs and baby's cradles and such. But the main line of business was baskets.

They worked from their own home which was on The Borough ("The Burough" was the street name - like The Glade or such).

Bert, my great grandfather Leo's youngest brother (who married a descendant from the SMITH family) continued to weave baskets right up to his death in the 1960s.

Now, I don't know anything about George's first wife, but I did know that he had been previously married. Obviously I've not pursued this because he married "my" Ann/Anne and that's all I was interested in.

According to my information (which I most certainly do not swear by, by the way) Elihu Isaac Bundy was born on Dec 28th 1953... If this is so, then he was either an early baby or George and Ann/Anne HAD to get married (if you know what I mean!).

Oh another thing I forgot to mention to you was that it looks like George actually had his mother's surname... My research has shown George's father to actually have been a William SNELGROVE.

This is also my family line.  I have lots of the orginal photos that I saved as my g.father had aged to the point he had forgotten many of the faces.  I will have to go back through what I have but there was a brother Enos who came to Canada from Wilt. then to California.  I have a photo of him and his wife.  I also have a copy of the Bastardly Bond with Anne and Snelgrove (my line also).  That is the title of it and George is only listed as The Bastardly Child.  I also have a photo of William Eastman. (only alone no wife).  I many photos of the brothers and sisters beyond my direct line.  Sarah Eastman Bundy married Ebacanizer Palmer my 2nd great.  I am willing to make any copies of what I have and help you fill the blanks.
