A woman by the name of Margaret
Sir Thomas Charles Bunbury, 6th Baronet, divorced his first wife, Sarah Lennox, in 1776.
Sometime after that date, he married "a woman by the name of Margaret". It has to be assumed that she cannot have been part of the gentry, or her own family, if not his, would have trumpeted the connection. Can anyone find a marriage? Sir Thomas (Charles) was the son a Mildenhall vicar, and had Suffolk connections, but also is famous as owner of the first winner of the Derby in 1780.

Right, the marriage is listed on FMP as part of the Suffolk Marriage Index Transcriptions.
They were married in Margaret's parish of Whelnetham GT (?) and his parish was Gt Barton. The actual marriage date was 21 November. Boyd's Marriage Index spells her name Coxedge.

There is also another marriage listed in those transcriptions for a Thomas Charles Bunbury on 10 Aug 1807 to a Sarah Rodwell at Livermore Lt (her parish). His parish is listed as Royal Pembroke Militia.

Do we know if she was a spinster? The Peerage.com has Margaret as b circa 1745 (source The Complete Baronetage, volume IV, page 118 (reprint 1983)) so she was possibly about 60 when they married.
