Albert Edward Hunt born Poole bet 1884-87
« on: Saturday 15 February 14 00:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I am looking for the birth of my grandfather Albert Edward Hunt.  Parents were Reuben Hunt b Huntington 1865 d Willesden 1935 and Julia Andrews b East Orchard 1865 d after 1935.  Julia and Reuben were married in Willesden in 1886.  Another hint is that it states that they lived in Willesden when they were married but another place that looks like Kilbourne has been crossed out.  This could be a hint as to where Albert was registered.  I have looked for Albert Edward under Andrews as well, but Albert Edward was a very popular name.  Albert had a sister Cecinia Daisy Hunt b 1888.

Alberts was one of 3 children, one of whom died according to the 1911 censes.  He was listed as Bertie in 1891 censes.  He married Annie Winifred Beeching in 1914 and was a window cleaner and in Middlesex 6th Regiment in WW1.  That's all I know about him, but after several attempts thinking I was on the right track, still got the wrong birth certificate.

So does anyone have any other ideas about how to narrow the search and get the right Albert Edward of Poole?

Thanks in advance

Sandra

As Reuben and Julia only married in 1886 and "Bertie" was b 1883/84 - I suspect he could be Julia's illegitimate son

Births September qtr 1884

Bertie Hawes H Andrews Dorchester  5a 344

Possibility that the H is for Hunt if Reuben was his father


EDIT - ignore - he died 1884

Thanks CaroleW

Still could have been the child of that family who died.  All bits of info are worth considering.

Thanks, that could be it.  I was starting to look for name variants because the names and ages changed in the census.  I'll try that one.

Hi, I'm fairly new to this so forgive me if I have missed something !

I am wondering how you know that Albert was born in Poole ? Is this perhaps,where his sister was born ? If his parents were both living and got married in Willesdon I just can't figure out the Poole connection.

Sorry, not much help to you, I know, but I was curious  :)

The info is from the 1891 census for Middlesex.  He is shown as Bertie Hunt aged 7yrs b Poole Dorset.  Parents Reuben & Julia
