Jennifer,  Thanks for that, I can't seem to find Drusilla in any census after 1861, so cannot confirm who her husband was, if any........she may not have married at all......I also cannot find a death for her.........Del...

I have spent hours looking at this and trying to make sense of it, I think -

Edward Hunt bapt. 25/9/1799 Aslackby son of Benjamin & Eleanor Hunt married Eleanor Parker 1/1/1824 - Edward died 10/1/1835.
Children
William 1826 - 1878
Mary 1828
Ann 1829
Elizabeth 1830 - 1846
Edward 1833 - 1860
Benjamin 1835 - 1898

1841 census
Eleanor 40
Ann 11
Elizabeth 10
Edward 8
Benjamin 6

Benjamin is born a month after the death of his father on 15/2/1835

Not sure Eleanor is Drusilla's mother as she was born after the death of Edward Hunt and she is getting on a bit.

Mary Hunt  born 1828 has at least 3 known illegitimate children and is on the 1861 census at Ellis Row Linc.

Mary Hunt single 33 chairwoman born Pointon Lincs
William 11 ( prob one shown as son with Eleanor in 1851) born Hough
Francis 8 Hough
Mary Jane 3 Grantham

Francis is on the 1891 census in Yorkshire with single sister Mary Jane Hunt as Francis Marshall widow.

Eleanor on the 1861 census is directly under the entry for son William Hunt and his family.

Perhaps the way forward would be to start with the birth certificate of Drusilla born 1843 Grantham.

Just a thought...I have a Lucilla Hunt from Oldern on Trent Parents from Garthorpe & Wintringham and she is sometimes listed as "Cilla" on census returns.

Baptism register is a good place to look. :)

It says Drusilla is daughter of Eleanor HUNT , Widow (May 1st 1843)
