Title: Charles James Fox Bunbury. Bookplate of w:Sir Charles James Fox Bunbury, 8th Baronet (1809–1886). He married Frances Joanna Horner, a daughter of Leonard Horner. Text from "The Bunbury Family", National Archives[1]: The Bunbury family originated in Cheshire (Stanney Hall, Cheshire, see Heraldic Visitation of Cheshire[2]) and maintained estates there until the mid 18th century when much was sold by Rev Sir William Bunbury to raise money to purchase more property in Great Barton and Mildenhall, Suffolk. The bulk of these two estates passed to this Sir William from his uncle Sir Thomas Hanmer who died in 1746. Sir Thomas' sister, Susanna Hanmer, had married Sir Henry Bunbury. The Great Barton estate had come to Sir Thomas Hanmer following his marriage to Elizabeth Folkes the only child of Thomas Folkes who had purchased it from Sir Henry Audley. The Mildenhall estate in Suffolk had passed to Sir Thomas Hanmer from his mother, Peregrina North (the daughter of Sir Henry North), who had married Sir William Hanmer in 1675. All of these families are represented among the records as is the Fox family. The Bunburys had a number of connections with this family, not least the marriage of Louisa Amelia Fox and Sir Henry Edward Bunbury in 1807. Sir Charles Thomas Bunbury was later to be a trustee for the residuary estate of Henry Fox, Lord HollandArms: Bunbury of 4 quarters (with canton of a baronet (Red Hand of Ulster)): 1: Bunbury Argent, on a bend sable three chess-rooks of the first; 2: Hanmer: Argent, two lions passant guardant azure armed and langued gules 3: North (North Baronets of Mildenhall, Suffolk): Azure a lion passant or between three fleurs-de-lys argent 4: A fess between three cocks impaling Horner: Three hunting horns stringed.
