I am looking to find the parents names of a Henry Bunn and details of where his birth was registered.
Henry married a Mary Ann Quilter 7th September 1839 and appears on 1841,1851, 1871,1881 census records with his wife and many children.
Census records show that Henry was born about 1816. I have some notes from another relative who previously searched Henry and he has Henry's birth date as 15th May 1815. I have no idea where this date came from as I can't find any record of his birth. Can anyone help please?

Sorry Maddie,
just seen the report - looks like it could be a possible match. Is there any way I can verify this?

His birth would not be registered
Civil registration dIdn't start until the GRO was formed in 1837
If you get a copy of the marriage cert, you will find out if he knew his father's details

Thanks Ricochet will do exactly that.
Margee-thanks looks very possible.
Maddie - Dont think Samuel Cox and Elizabeth Bunn could be a match as then surname would have changed to Cox.
Thanks everyone

Hi Liane,
They are online at Seax but you have to subscribe to it.
Maddie is correct about Henry, I have sent you the Cert.
Please come back and post the details when you get it so the other helpers know what it says.
Kind regards Amanda

Thank you Chris Ho:)
I am not good at posting the links, mine always seem to come out wrong or unusable!
I have also downloaded the Baptism 5th Mar 1815 and the parents Marriage for Laine, just waiting to see if the first one was received ok.
Kind regards Amanda

Hi everyone,
Wanted to give you all an update on my research, sorry for the delay. It seems that you were all correct-Henry Bunns parents were not married therefore he took is mothers maiden name (Bunn). His father could be a possible Samuel Cox.
I have managed to connect with 2 other people who share these ancestors on their tree and I am delighted to discover that they have managed to take the Bunn family back another two generations.
Thank you all so very much for your time and help.
Liane
