I've posted about this family before but I've recently realised I had some wrong records, especially concerning who I thought the parents were.

It turns out the mother Mary was Irish, although I'm not sure where from. Possibly Dublin? and possibly with the surname Landy? I cant seem to find a marriage for them?

The family is this -

Thomas Hubbard, born c1783. Marries Mary before 1812? In Ireland? On the 1841 census listed as born in Leicestershire. Buried 1848 Leicester, aged 65, of Wheat Street. Maybe is the Thomas Hubbard of Langton, Leicestershire, aged 17 who joins the 30th (Cambridgeshire) Regiment of Foot in 1805, apparently enlisting in Dublin, Ireland? and is discharged in 1818/1819?
The closest is a Thomas Hubbard baptised 1778 Langtons, son of John. Closer to death age but out by a few on the age given on that military record.

Mary, born c1782. On census 1841, 1851 and 1861 is listed as born in Ireland. Possibly Landy? (Long shot)

They have the following children -
William Hubbard, born c1812. On the 1841 census when him and his parents are living in Leicester, he is given as born in Ireland. I cant seem to find him after 1841. Nor can I find a baptism for him.

Elizabeth Hubbard, baptised 1815 Countesthorpe, Leicestershire. Marries William Lord 1838 Leicester. Baptised in Countesthorpe but Elizabeth states on census records that she was born in Dublin, Ireland and on the 1861 census born Countesthorpe. Some of her children for some reason have the mothers maiden surname as 'Nichols' and some as 'Hubbard' on the birth records and I'm not sure why. Buried 1893 Blaby. In 1891 on census with daughter Selina's family.

Catherine Hubbard, baptised 1816 Countesthorpe. Buried 1828 Sapcote, Leicestershire.

Eliza Ann Hubbard, baptised 1820 Countesthorpe. In 1841 living on Gas Street, Leicester. Marries Thomas Smith, 1843 Leicester.

Caroline/Carole Hubbard, baptised 1822 Countesthorpe. In 1841 living on Metcalf Street, Leicester. Marries David Door 1842 Leicester. Buried 1875 Leicester.

Ellen Hubbard, baptised 1825 Countesthorpe. Buried 1832 Countesthorpe.

Selina Hubbard, baptised 1828 Sapcote, Leicestershire. In 1841 living on Wharf Street, Leicester. In 1851? In 1861 living with mother Mary on Birkley Street, Leicester. In 1871 Living on Birkley Street, Leicester.
Caroline and Elizabeth both name daughters Selina as well.

In regards to the Irish connection and baptism on William. There is a catholic baptism in London 1812 for a William Hubbard, son of Thomas Hubbard and Mary Landy. Witness/Sponsor is a James Landy. I can see no marriage for these two but there is a baptism in Dublin 1780 for a Mary Landy, daughter of James Landy and Mary. Could this be my Mary? The Thomas Hubbard apparently joined in Dublin 1805? There is also another baptism in the same church for this pair in 1808 for a daughter Maria Anna. Mothers name is given as Mary Landley* There is no more baptisms in this church after 1812 for these Hubbards.

In 1851, Mary's birth place is given as Ireland and then another word, I cant quite make it out. One person has transcribed it as 'Meath' but I'm not sure if that is correct. I will attach it below.

The word Grandfather is clear to me, I just included it as I think the word is the surname of the grandfather and in the will its wrote as 'Grandfather Clerke*'.

This letter is nowhere else on the will apart from another mention of 'Grandfather _lerke'. The 'c' in 'county' is not spelt like it either. It does look like a 'c' just with a flourish at the top left like you suggest but why only do this on this word and no other words beginning with 'C' in the will. I think it may be meant as a flourished upper case 'C'.

Thanks for this, I've got some stuff to look through.

Humberstone Field is referring to the field at Humberstone, which is either where the Golf course now is or Humberstone Park. Humberstone was a village near Leicester which has been incorporated into Leicester City as a suburb.

Thanks for that, That date had been on my tree for many years and when going back over my tree I never thought to check it.

Bermuda seems right now, Just looking over the records again.

So it appears like this (I think)
8th February 1849, Aboard the ship 'Neptune' heading to Bermuda.
Sept 1849, Aboard the Medway Hulk, Bermuda. Was here 1849-1852.
Dec 1852, Listed on the Medway list as transferred to Dromedary Hulk.
At some point between, transferred to Tenedos Hulk.
Dies 12 Sept 1853, Tenedos Hulk. (Having seen Tenedos here, I can see it clearly now on the record)

Thanks for all the help.
