--------------
Update from Danny Aruna Burns in Messenger, 15 March 2019.
I only replied on 24 March 2019 as I was away in Saudi Arabia for Umrah, 12-22 March 2019.
Aruna's parents are Edward Kenneth Bulner aka Humphrey and Marion.
Edward Kenneth Bulner was born on 7 February 1930 in Klang, Selangor, Malaya (now Malaysia). He is the youngest of 6 siblings l. He was the only one surviving in March 2019. He passed away on 11 June 2020.
His parents were from Kandy, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). His father (Aruna's grandfather, Mr F. W. Bulner) was manager of a rubber plantation in Malaya prior to World War 2. (This was the Sungai Renggam Estate in Selangor.) It is believed they were forced to leave for Singapore when World War 2 broke out in Malaya. They mostly probably left for Singapore in the post-war as Eurasians were all interned in Singapore.
The late Marion was German. She came to England at the same time as Humphrey.
They married and lived in the UK.
They have two children - a girl named Aruna (b.1970) and a boy named Karsten (b.1974).
They were still married and they all lived in the UK in March 2019.
Aruna sent a photo of her parents and her three children - Leila, Brandon and Leon. Leon turned 18 on 19 December 2020.
Aruna sent a recent photo of Edward Kenneth Bulner aged 89, but the photo did not get passed to me via Messenger.
