Person:Alice De Bunbury (1)

Her parents' names are unknown. Burke indicates that she was daughter and heir of Richard de Bunbury, but this is likely an error, since other sources state she was sister and heir of Richard de Bunbury. She was an approximate contemporary of Richard Bunbury of Stanney (d. ca. 1540) whose parents were John Bunbury and Agnes Norreys, but she could not have been his heir, since Richard of Stanney's heir was his son Henry.

   This source has a Richard Bunbury (son of John Bunbury and Agnes Norreys) in the right time frame, but his son Henry was his heir.
