Graveyards and Gravestones / Hunt family Norich,Norfolk
« on: Wednesday 30 November 16 06:44 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find death date and burial location of my Great Grandfather.His name is Alfred Hunt,born 1846 in All Saints,South Elmham,Suffolk.U.K.
Last known location was Aldeby,Norfolk in 1981,age 45. Was married to Ellen Frairy,born 1845 in Gillingham,U.K.
They had nine children,Walter 1872,Rosa 1873,Samuel 1875,Mabel 1877,Jessie 1879,Edward 1880-1932 (My Grandfather,my dad's father,died in Saskatchewan 1932,Ella 1883,Charles 1885 and Frederick 1889.

1891 England Cencus provides birth date but no death date.Ella was killed April, 1942-43 Naedeker air raids. Her notice was in Commonwealth Death notices.

I am stuck at this point,did have some addresses in Norich. Addresses are 48 Stafford St, 52 Winter Road and 34 Hotblack Road.I presume these addresses were current in the 1940 as I have photos of my dad there during the war when he was in the RCAF,with the address written on back of the photos.

Hope this will help to find more info,

Thanks, Don Hunt

Hello gillybilly:

Re your posts of Aug 31,2011.The Reddings were my Great Grandparents.Their daughter,Sarah (kate) was my Grandmother. She married Edward Hunt in Hespler,Ont,on April 20,1911.They were both in the Salvation Army at the time.They filed on land in 1917.
My  Hunt Grandfather came to Canada in Jan 1904.He sailed from Liverpool to Halifax with his destination was Winnipeg,Manitoba.He was born in 1880 in Norich,Norfolk. Sailed on the SS Sicilian.
The Redding family ended up her also,after only staying in Florida for one year.
If interested,get in touch,would be interested in other long lost relatives.
Regards, Don hunt
P.S. i live in Abbotsford,B.C. Am on Facebook

Here is an update.Found names and ages for the Nathan Redding family,They came oer to Canada on the Lake pril 11,1903. Names and ages are:
Nathan Redding 37 Shoemaker
Pleasant Redding 37 Wife
Ralph Redding 16 Son
Sarah (Kate) Redding 14
Florence Redding 10
Elsie Redding 8
Ewart Redding 17
The ship was chartered by Rev Isaac Barr and brought 2000 colonists to Lloydminister,Sask.
My grandparents on went as far as Saskatoon,Sask.

If you Google Meskanaw - Its story and its people,you can look through the information on the Redding Family and Edward Hunt family which   Sarah Kate married into and started and raised her family which I eventually became a part of.
Hope this will help connect parts of the long lost family tree.
My family,consisting of my wife, 2 daughter, and their families all live in the Abbotsford area of B.C
which is an hour drive from Vancouver,B.C.

Looking forward to hearing from any possible relatives.
