I have drawn a blank in the search for Violet Bunting born 1864 at Newfield, Auckland, Durham, after the 1881 Census in Durham where she is listed as the daughter of Robert and Jane Bunting. In the 1971 Census she is listed as Violetta Bunting.

The family surname has been variously shown as Bunting, Bunton and Bounton but in the latter years invariably it is Bunting.

I can find neither death nor marriage for Violet Bunting and am beginning to wonder whether Violet Bunting was not the sister but was the daughter of Hannah Bunting who first married John Johnson in 1861 (and I've searched for Violet Johnson, Johnston and Johnstone). Hannah married James Doy in 1871 but I can't find a Violet Doy fitting the 1864 birth in Auckland, Durham either.

So, was Violet born 1864 the daughter of Robert and Jane or of one of their children?

Can anyone help me, please?
