The profile mentions a birth in Bellport, Shropshire. There is no Bellport in Shropshire according to Google. It seems far more likely that Edward was born at Buntingsdale in Shropshire where his father and mother lived and his siblings are associated.

It may help understand Edward's origins better to include the pedigree of the Barker and Bulkeley families that is shown in his father Thomas's profile. Dr George Acworth (Acworth-317) was at Cambridge at the same time as Edward and was a leading Protestant theologian, student of Archbishop Mathew Parker who served Ann Boleyne and at the request of Ann, looked after the religeous responsibilities of her daughter - the future Queen Elizabeth. Both Edward Bulkeley and George Acworth are of the same generation and occur in this pedigree.

Thanks, Ian. The place must have been a straightforward slip, and I have corrected it.

By the way, the pedigree you refer to is already on this profile, as a profile image.

Bellport was a straight up error ... thank you for catching it Ian and thank you for correcting it Michael!

I added a link to the Barker and Bulkeley pedigree in MGH under the sources heading and removed the image as it is now redundant.

Would you care to add an unlinked daughter, Mary, Bulkeley-539 as one of his daughters please?. She's listed in the bio as one of his children and it will get her off the Bedfordshire unlinked list. Thanks David
