*nb there were two men with this name born in Hanslope. Their fathers were brothers. Charles Daniel Bull, son of Joseph and Sarah was born in Hanslope in 1895. However, the family moved to Newport Pagnell. Charles Daniel and his brother Frederick were both killed and remembered on the War Memorial in Newport Pagnell. However, listing incorrectly gives Charles second name as David.

BULL, Daniel*
