I am also a descendent of Thomas and Elizabeth Sunter, through their son Thomas, his son Joseph (and first wife Mary), and his son John who moved to Manchester from Feetham, nr Reeth c1840 to become a draper. John’s son Robert Calvert was my grandfather Ernest’s grandfather. My father was Frederick, d. 1982.

I have just traced the earliest two generationsof the tree back to Thomas and Elizabeth with the help of Martin J Budd’s famiy tree shown on Ancestry.com, the Slade/Whale family tree also on Ancestry.com, as well as cross checking records through Ancestry.com, FindMyPast, FreeBMD etc.

It is amazing how all the Swaledale Sunters originate from Thomas and Elizabeth – the number of Sunter families in that area on the census returns is astonishing – obviously hardy folk!

Best wishes

Helen Edwards
