Title: Bassett & Hugtenburg Cople Link
Post by: castlebob on Friday 24 July 20 19:45 BST (UK)

I'm trying to make the link between a member of the Bassett family of Cople and a member of a family called  Hugtenburg.
So far I have this:
John Bassett & Hannah (nee Armstrong, b1806 in Cople)  wed and had a daughter, Mary, born in Bedford in 1835. At some point following this union, a family called Hugtenburg wed into one of these families.
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Bob

Have you found a marriage on freebmd? 

Please give some info on "Hugtenburg".  Male or female?  Christian name and birthyear/birthplace? 

Any census info?

www.freebmd.org.uk

In 1851 John & Hannah were living in Dorset with 6 children - so where have you found a connection to Hugtenburg?

The only instances of that surname are this century

I don't know when the connection occurred, Carole. It was via an autosomal DNA contact, so very possibly too recent to be searchable.
I'll trawl through my old emails & see if i can find anything else.
Cheers,
Bob
PS Just found out that some emigrated to NZ and Australia, so guess that is where the answer lies

Found a NZ link and an email address for the Hugtenburg family I'm interested in.
Thanks all for your input - the Dorset census link helped me in my search!
Thanks for the help,
Cheers,
Bob
