Hi I need a look up if poss. My Ancestry subscription ran out yesterday :( not sure whether to renew or not. Anyway, Henry Hunt married Harriet Louisa Miller in Sept 1871 in London. I pretty well know all I need to after this children etc, by 1881 they are living in Birmingham and have four children(Alice, Annie, Edward and Ernest). On the 1881 census Henry's birthplace is B'ham, Harriets's is Pancras London, up to the point my subsricption ran out I've been trying to track them before 1871 with no luck (I've spent enough on cert's). Any idea's ?

Hi Matthew when was Henry born? Do you know where in Birmingham?

Matthew Can you post the full 1881 details ages pob etc for ref please. (I cant find them) Thanks Jacqui

Sorry, here goes: Alice Hunt abt 1879 Birmingham Daughter 8 Hampton Court, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Annie Hunt abt 1873 London St Pancras, London, Middlesex, England Daughter 8 Hampton Court, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Edward Hunt abt 1875 Birmingham Son 8 Hampton Court, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Ernest Hunt abt 1878 Birmingham Son 8 Hampton Court, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Harriett Hunt abt 1852 London St Pancras, London, Middlesex, England Wife 8 Hampton Court, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Henry Hunt abt 1850 Birmingham Head 8 Hampton Court, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England

If you are looking for pre 1871, have you found them in 1871 then?? If yes, can you post? Have you got fathers names and occupations from their marriage cert? Merry

Hi Matthew Have you got their parents details from the marriage cert? Ive tried looking for them in 1861 but there are too many Henrys born in Birmingham and no obvious matches for Harriet. Back in an hour Jacqui

Merry, No I haven't got to the cert stage yet, although I know I will have to. I just wondered if you guys could see anything on the census that I've missed.

As thet got married late in 1871 (in London) I'm guessing Henry was in London during the 1871 census........but you know what guessing means in this game

No immediate result in 1871, but in 1861 this must surely be him.... You completely forgot to mention his occupation!!! 1881 Jewellers Gem Setter....... 1861: Caroline Hunt abt 1842 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Birmingham Warwickshire Ellen Hunt abt 1840 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Birmingham Warwickshire Emma Hunt abt 1811 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Wife Birmingham Warwickshire Fanny Hunt abt 1846 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Birmingham Warwickshire >>>>Henry Hunt abt 1848 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Son Birmingham Warwickshire William Hunt abt 1808 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Head Birmingham Warwickshire Occupation of father, Jeweller. Merry

No luck with Harriet Miller. Trouble is, if you were born in Pancras there about 1001 places you might give as your place of birth!! Merry

Cheers Merry

Could this be the father in the 1871 census? RG10/3133, folio 68, page 14. Birmingham Workhouse, All Saints, Birmingham. William Hunt, Inmate, Widower, 65, b. Birmingham, Jeweller.
