Thankyou Artbeat & Margaret !

From the details that you have just provided i have been looking at 1881 census & have found both daughters living with father Henry Vincent Bunn ( died 1892 aged 60 ) & mother Emma Long ( married 1869 , after the birth of some of their children ).

It seems that Amy Ruth ( known as Ruth ) was born 1874 & Margaret ( known as Madge ) was born 1877.

I belive Ruth died 1955 ( ? ) but i do not know what became of Margaret , although Harry Franckeiss may have died in Wandsworth , London , 1930.


Many thanks for your help !

Details sought on marriage of Ruth Bunn to John Fraser ( registered in Westminster , June 1898 ) and Margaret Vincent Bunn to Harry Franckeiss ( registered Wandsworth , June 1901 ).

I am trying to find out the names of the brides' father & their ages & - hopefully from there - the death registrations.

Many thanks !
