Hi Lorraine

If your Arthur Bunting married Vera E Flavell, then there is a death for a Vera Elizabeth Bunting, Q1 1983 in Sheffield.

Her birth date is given as 7 Oct 1915.

On the 1939 register Arthur Bunting has birth date as 12 Nov 1912 (his birth date on his death record is 12 Nov 1911)
His wife Vera E Bunting has a birth date of 7 Oct 1916

Both birth dates are out by 1 year on the 1939 register, but that's not uncommon.

The Vera Bunting you found on our site died 3 July 1985, with birth date of 5 July 1905. So this is not the Vera who married Arthur Bunting.

I cant find a burial for Vera E Bunting in 1983 and none of us can find a burial for Arthur, so it could be that they were cremated?

Following on from Denise's excellent reply.........

Are you aware of FreeBMD and Sheffield Vol Number was 9c changing to 3 by 1983.

It makes it clearer to follow.

If indeed they were cremated have you tried City Road for them to check for you.

BUNTING, ARTHUR STEEL
GRO Reference: 1911 D Quarter in HASLINGDEN Volume 08E Page 241 Why he was born in Haslingden I do not know. But if you look at the marriage section on here for Joseph Walter Bunting it should be his family.
