BULNER Family Tree

with links to British India

info from Beverly de Silva beverlydes@optusnet.com.au

My maternal grandmother was (Miss) Mary Annie Agnes Bulner, born 31 July 1903 at the Lying-in-Home, Colombo, Ceylon (Sri Lanka).
She married George Torrington de Hoedt (born 19.5.1904, died 14.3.1993) at All Saints Church, Borella, Ceylon on 7th June, 1928.
She died 13th September, 1977. Buried at R.C. Section, Borella, Kanatte.
(She had no brothers or sisters.)
 
Her father, William Reginald Bulner, born 14th February 1856, married Lydia Ursula Van Dort (born 11.4.1866) at the Roman Catholic church, Kalutara, on 23rd May 1888. He died at Nawalapitiya Hospital on 1.11.1945 and was buried at the Nawalapitiya Cemetery.
 
Her father's father (i.e. her grandfather) was (or rather has been noted in her diary as) William Edward Godfrey Bulner, born 1830, died 1893.
Married Annie Susan Bertus (born 1834, died 1886) on 29th March 1854 at the Dutch Reformed Church, Mannar, Ceylon.
 
In the genealogy of the 'Bulner Family Tree', under I, No. 3, there is listed a 'William Ethelwald Godfrey, born 15 November 1829. Could this be one and the same person listed above (i.e. William Edward Godfrey Bulner, born 1830)? Perhaps my grandmother has incorrectly recorded this info in her notebook.
