Title: Mary Ann Husk (c1820) - passing through Fonthill Gifford?
Post by: diplodicus on Sunday 07 December 14 12:26 GMT (UK)
Mary Ann Husk was baptised on 23 January 1820 in Fonthill Gifford to parents Thomas and Ann.

In the 1851 census, she is already married to James Bond (really!) living in Bond's Yard off Wincanton High Street. By 1861, they have moved to Silver street. In both entries, her place of birth is clearly "Fonthill Gifford". 1871 finds them in West Wittering, Sussex (Mary's birthplace = "Stop, Wiltshire" - there is a "Stop Farm" in the middle of the village) and twenty years later, they're still moving eastwards and are living in East Sutton, Kent and now she was born in "Hindon, Wiltshire" which is a ½ mile to the west of Fonthill Gifford.

I can't find any Husks in the 1841 census for Fonthill Gifford although a Google reveals a Maria Husk there as a servant in 1851.

So, dear Rootschatters, where were the Husks from and to where do the rest of them disappear?

Seasons greetings to you all,
Malcolm

Ooops sorry Rosie99,

I forgot to mention them. :-\ They all seem to disappear as well (or at least I can't reliably place them thereafter).

Thank you.

Freebmd only has about a dozen Husk records in total.  I tried a search on Ancestry *usk but won't repeat what results I got  ::)

I searched ancestry born any Husk born 1800 ± 10 years and there are five main groups of Husks:

Devon ought to be the most likely source of the family?

Well, perhaps it is as on some trees (in Ancestry) they show her as Husk or Huss? :o

By Jove, I think you've got it  :D

Thomas Huss (1792, Wincanton) married Ann Whittaker (1797, Fonthill Gifford) in Wylye. Their son Thomas (1835, Hindon) settled back in Wincanton  as did Thomas And Ann (in Charlton Musgrove - 1861 census).

I haven't yet been able to connect MaryAnn but 've just been told I'm making dinner :(

I will let you know as and whn I make the connection.

My thanks to you all.

. Well, hang on to your hats!

This Maria is the servant to Jonathan and Mary Vincent (née Whitaker). Mary is the daughter of Thomas and Mary Whitaker of Fonthill Gifford.

Thomas and Mary are also the parents of Ann who married Thomas Huss/Husk who are the parents of the lady in the title of this thread.
