Hmmmm ...... I've got a copy of Mary Sanigear's will and John Wilkinson was one of the witnesses and was the trustee. The executor was her nephew William Peglar Sanigear. The painting wasn't mentioned in the will. After named gifts of money to her sister Amelia Bradley and her son Thomas, W P Sanigear and another niece Elizabeth Ireland (I think it's Ireland, the the 1850s the handwriting used for PCC wills had got so stylized it's virtually unreadable) all the rest and residue was to be divided between the first three.

Hopefull she gave the painting away before her death or they came to some arrangement about it afterwards, but W P Sanigear was in London (John Bunyan wasn't his ancestor anyway) while Amelia and Thomas were in Derbyshire. Perhaps John Wilkinson simply "appropriated" it ?  ???

Nice reading Linda...I especially enjoyed the last one, where the visitors were told she had upped and moved - perhaps why she drops out of Nathaniel's diary? A simelar occurance?  (maybe his stalking had made her move :P)

Carole, perhaps the painting (not an original according to Linda's last post) was given, before she died.  Especially if she maintained the same faith as her ancestor...she would have passed on his picture to likeminded people I'm sure :)

oooh...part 8....yes pleeeease can we have a bit more info on Ann Fox!

Wow Part 8 already, and I've enjoyed all 140 pages of the posts so far.

Well done on solving the mystery of Mrs Skirriker, although I didn't post a negative response I had looked myself with no success, I certainly wouldn't have got the right name.

On 20 September Nathaniel walked to Edgware and Whitchurch on his usual Sunday walk.    Yesterday, I was browsing Google Earth and looking at the attached photographs.   One at Whitchurch was clearly the right church although not as good as Drykid's one.   Another photo is labeled "Edgware Church" and is indeed St Margaret's, Edgware but is in the wrong place.    St Margaret's is near the North Eastern corner of Edgware High Street (aka Edgware Road, Watling Street Etc) and Station Road.
The Old Boot where NB had his Beef and Bread stood in front of the Church on the High Street.   A fine old building it was replaced in the Sixties by a bland block of offices & shops, now rather run down.

Some great finds Linda.

You can always rely on 'Notes and Queries'  ;).

Isn't it odd that when we were all trying desperately to find descendants of John Bunyan we found very little regarding his family. Now it seems there is quite a bit out there. How did we miss it all - even without knowing Mrs S's real name?  :-\

But at least she is found! Hoorah!  ;D

Aye there is a lot of interesting things in Notes and Queries Ruskie.

Suspect she was most likely moving closer to family that could help her out. Seems she might have been losing her faculties.

S.F. (Rev Samuel Francis) Creswell documenting Bunyan decendants in Notes and Queries was educated King's College, London and St. John's College, Cambridge and ordained in 1860. In 1861 he was Vicar of Radford and later rector of Northrepps, Norfolk. 1861 census gives his birth about 1813 Clayworth, Nottinghamshire. Definitely one to visit these older Bunyans, Robert & Mary Sanigear.
