NOTE: This is a TEMPORARY WEBSITE ONLY, and is meant as a stopgap until the Main Website has been updated. Some of the notes are incomplete and many of the links will not work. There is still much data to add and conflicts to settle.This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.
I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.
If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.
Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.
If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster
Notes about St. Michael and All Angels church, Lilleshall, Shropshire (See website below for further details)
The vicar from 1847-69 was H. G. de Bunsen, son of Baron Bunsen. He employed an assistant curate throughout but did some of the duty himself. By 1851 Bunsen lived at the Old Hall and his curate at the vicarage. S. E. Marsden, curate 1858-61, was bishop of Bathurst (Australia) 1869-85. In Bunsen's time the ecclesiastical parish was reduced by the creation of Donnington Wood and St. George's parishes, and later vicars acted without assistant clergy.

Notes to be added. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Charles_Josias_Bunsen
and http://www.ccel.org/s/schaff/encyc/encyc02/htm/iv.v.cdxxxvii.htmBaron Bunsen had ten children, including five sons, Henry (1818-1885), Ernest (1819-1903), Karl (1821-1887), Georg (1824-1896) and Theodor (1832-1892). Of these Karl (Charles) and Theodor had careers in the German diplomatic service; and Georg, who for some time was an active politician in Germany, eventually retired to live in London; Henry, who was an English clergyman, became a naturalized Englishman, and Ernest, who in 1845 married an Englishwoman, Miss Gurney, subsequently resided and died in London.
The form of "de Bunsen" was adopted for the surname in England. Ernest de Bunsen was a scholarly writer, who published various works both in German and in English, notably on Biblical chronology and other questions of comparative religion. His son, Sir Maurice de Bunsen (b. 1852), entered the English diplomatic service in 1877; and after a varied experience became minister at Lisbon.
His wife, Baroness Frances Bunsen, published his memoirs, "Memoirs of Baron Bunsen", London 1869.
Notes from: http://www.gtj.org.uk/en/item10/29016
Baroness Frances Bunsen (1791-1876), was born Frances Waddington at Dunston Park, Berkshire and educated at Llanover by her mother. She was the eldest daughter and co-heiress of Benjamin Waddington. One of her sisters, Augusta Waddington, later became Lady Llanover. In July 1817 she married Baron Christian Bunsen, who acted as German ambassador to England from 1841 to 1854. Following his death in November 1860, Baroness Bunsen published a two-volume memoir of his life. She went to live in Karlsruhe where she died in April 1876.Francess was an accomplished artist in water colours, and author. Some of her watercolours can be viewed at the website above.

Benjamin Waddington, the third son of a Nottinghamshire cleric, had bought Llanover from the Cecil family of The Dyffryn in about 1792, and married Georgina Mary Anne Port (1771-1850) of Ilam, Derbyshire.
With the arrangement of the other daughters, the Llanover estate was settled on his daughter Augusta, and the neighbouring estates of Llanover and Abercarn were united. Augusta's husband, Benjamin Hall, died in a shooting accident in 1867 having survived both his sons. After her death the estate passed to her only surviving child, Augusta, the widow of J.A.E. Herbert of Llanarth, Monmouthshire. She purchased the Coldbrook estate near Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in 1896. Her heir was Major-General Sir Ivor John Caradoc Herbert (1851-1934) who became Baron Treowen in 1917.
William established the first bank of Boston, Lincolnshire, in 1754 which became known as Garfit, Claypon and Company twenty years later, when Bartholomew CLAYPON was taken into partnership.
The Bank, at 116 High Street, was the home of the Garfit family during the 18th and 19th centuries. In the 1850's, they also took over 114 High Street as 'Bank House'. In 1864 they moved to grander premises at 51 Market Place now occupied by Lloyds Bank. An image of the High Street bank can be seen here: http://www.bostonuk.com/gallery/neilwright/p75.htm
