Bunney - Warwickshire England

My grandfather, Thomas Biddle Bunney (1875 to 1952), was born in Coventry.His father, Thomas Bunney (1843 to 1885), was originally a ribbon manufacturer in Coventry, later a wine merchant, and was made a Freeman of the City of Coventry in 1865.
We have a copy of the 1871 census for Coventry.This shows Thomas Bunney living at 25 Paradise Street, Coventry, and an Elizabeth Bunney (aged 59) and 3 daughters living at 24 Paradise Street.We assume this is the mother and sisters of Thomas Bunney.We have the marriage certificate of Thomas Bunney showing his father's name as Joseph Bunney, a weaver.Unfortunately we have no earlier family records.
I would be interested to know if any of this fits in with your family history.My father believed that some family members had emigrated to the US and others to Australia, but this must predate Thomas Bunney as we believe we have full family records (family bible)for his descendants.
