Bunting family history
Prudence Bunting
Prudence Bunting was my maternal great great grandmother. I have only found out information thanks to someone else searching the same family history. She was born in 1850 in Birmingham. She married Phillip Millington.
It appears that Prudence Millington went to the workhouse. The 1881 census shows a 30 year old married woman in the Parish of Birmingham Workhouse. She is listed as a pauper inmate and a seamstress. I cannot see a husband or other relatives with the same surname as residing here. The 1891 census lists someone of the same name in the Workhouse Infirmary Birmingham. There is a death record for Prudence in 1900 at aged a mere 49. It is a sad ending.
Parents of Emma - Adam and Harriet
According to someone else searching, Prudence's father is recorded as Adam Bunting (born March 1853) and his father Henry.
Prudence Bunting's mother is recorded as Harriet Tropman (born 1813) and her father Thomas Tropman, though I've yet to look into this.
