James Hunston born 1850 Married Margaret Dalton 1868
« on: Monday 19 February 18 05:53 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find the father on James Hunston born in Lancashire 1850. In the 1861 census it has his family as Hunton with father James - as least I think it is since I cannot find any other Hunston. It has James senior born in Ireland and a widow. I can't find his wife (James junior's mother). Being new to this genealogy science so to speak can anyone offer any information. I've tried BMD and Family search and Myheritage. I've attached the 1881 and 1861 census's
Thank you

Hello and Welcome to RootsChat  :)

I notice that James Hunston's marriage to his wife Margaret Dalton is on 17 Aug 1868 at  Manchester, St Mary, St Denys and St George.  James is listed as age 20  a dyer with father James  Hunston listed as a Calico Printer so is possible that James  might have been born prior to 1850??

I wonder if this James Hunston in 1851 might worth considering?  The family were living in Levenshulme which your James's lists his birthplace in 1881. Also this father's occupation could tie in with your James being listed as a dyer when he married??

James Hunston    35 Dyer Print Works b Manchester
Jane Hunston    35 b Surrey Merton Abbey?
Sarah Hunston    14
Frances Hunston 8
Mary E Hunston    3
Thomas Hunston 11
James Hunston    5  Manchester
Josiah Hunston    1

At the moment I can't see this family in 1861 or the James Hunton with father born in Ireland that you mention.  Could he have been the one living in Liverpool??  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M7RD-D3Y

Thank you ever so much ladies great detective work! I had seen some of this information but had not managed to join the dots.
Kay your link to the gentleman in Liverpool was the one I had found but I think the other information tallies up much better so born in 1846 it is. Have learnt a few tricks already.
Cheers
