Mary Ann was born in 1886, the daughter of tar distiller, William Nunn [1]and his wife, Ann Ferguson, at Poplar in London. Her mother died when she was four and her father was calling himself John at the 1891 Census working as a general labourer and living with his family at 22 Bloomful St., Bromley. [2] Her mother died in 1890 when Mary Ann was only 4 years old. [3][4] Her father took another wife in 1909, a widow, Mary Ann Elizabeth Gunton,[5] which might have been what prompted Mary Ann to move to Brighton in Sussex.
On the 20th of February 1911 she married George Bullen at Brighton Register Office. [6] At the time Mary Ann was a servant and was living at 48 Bute St with George's family. Her husband was an apprentice boiler-maker. [1] After the wedding they continued to live in Susan's Bullen's busy household. [7] Their daughter, Susan, was born in July. Two years later George was in the Army at Aldershot where their daughter, Doris, was born. George was not an ordinary soldier because he was interested in aeroplanes. Mary Ann, at least, was back in Brighton for the birth of their son, William, in 1914. The last of their children, Frank, was born in 1917.
At some time George had a posting to India and took his family. Their daughter Susan was married there in 1929 to John Dalrymple Sturgeon of the RAF. They were back in England before the outbreak of the Second World War. [8]
George died in 1968, his death being registered in Worthing. [9]
