BUNNs related to my family in Australia?
« on: Wednesday 18 August 10 14:16 BST (UK) »
Can anyone tell me please if they know of any family that could be related to John Bunn born 1829 in Maidstone,Kent, UK? He married Mary Anne Cox, born 1828,Stockberry, Kent, UK.  They were married in 1853 in Kent and soon after immigrated to Australia and settled in Bright, Victoria.
Family anecdotal history relates that a sibling of John Bunn immigrated to the USA.
Unfortunately this is the only information that we have and if anyone has anymore we would very much appreciate hearing from you.
Thankyou in anticipation,
Jenny Bunn.

Do you have details of this marriage such as fathers name and occupation and where it took place,  I can't see it .

Thankyou Rosie and Sandra for your interest.
I have not been able to obtain more onformation as yet, because the person who I need to contact about specific dates is on the other side of the country and does not own a computer. So I have found it hard to pin them down.
Thanks once again.
I will try to gather some more info and post it at a later date,
Regards,
Jenny.
