Looking for my 2nd great aunt Mary Pope B 1809 and her spouse John Hunt b 1791 location unknown
She was baptized January 31, 1809 Coldridge, Devon, U.K
Parents were
Thomas Pope 1784–1847
Grace Handcock 1782–1867
Both parents passed in Devon, UK
Mary married a John Hunt 22 October 1832 in Devon, possibly Ashringy He was a widower and she was a spinster. Believe her uncle John Handcock was a witness. John was able to sign his name in perfect script while Mary was only able to make her mark. We have tried to find a first marriage for John Hunt without success and recent info seems to point to possible children from that first marriage
Mary and John Hunt came to Canada around 1850-51. A possible match in 1851 census has too many children. We would like to find possible children from a first marriage of Mr. Hunt and also his occupation
We believe they lived in or around Dorchester, Ontario.
Their daughter Grace was born OCTOBER 11,1833 Ashreigney, Devon, England and her grave marker shows her as originally from Devon, as was her husband, John Bickley. They married 9 Feb 1855 in Brushford, Devon. He is listed as a Miller in the marriage document I have They are buried in Dorchester, Ontario.
