Introduction:
CHARLES BUNCOMBE (1796-1829), the schoolmaster son of well-regarded profilist John Buncombe (ca.1758-1837), was never a commercial profilist himself. The erroneous reference that he was, appeared as a poorly researched premise in a mid C.20th published history of Newport, Isle of Wight - where both men lived and died - with most commentators and auction houses accepting the statement as fact for nearly 50 years.
