Looking at the original death registrations on Ancestry, Downham is hand written and there were no ages in that period so it will have been added later. You could check with the GRO.

The age is 81 on the burial transcript on freereg

Thanks Rosie! Definitely not the Ann I am looking for!

Thanks, I have the GRO certificate and that is not 'my' Ann. Thanks for your suggestion though, much appreciated!

Well I think jonw65 has blown my idea out of the water :D

Perhaps, but I am still going to check out that 1915 Death.  Thanks again, Paul!!

Hi Paul

Maybe Ann didn't die between 1860-1871
Scroll down to H A

Could this be a possibility?

Still there in 1891?
https://www.rootschat.com/links/01r7a/

There is an Annie Hunter died Mar 1915 age 80 Norwich Reg Dist.

This is all guess work!

Hi 'The Yokel'!

Well this is an interesting suggestion. I have to say I had not thought of this one. It would mean that William's assertion that he was a 'widower' when he remarried in 1868 may not have been entirely truthful but perhaps this was the only option he had - it may also explain why he married in Kings Lynn rather than closer to home.  I will investigate further and let you know if anything comes of it! Thanks again!!

Paul!!

Sorry, not the one you are looking for, burial on freereg also age 81.

Ann HUNTER Burial   12 Dec 1865   Norfolk   Downham Market : St Edmund : Parish Register.

Colin

Hi Colin

Thanks for the suggestion but 'yes' you are correct, this is not the 'right' Ann. I took the 'bait' and ordered the Certificate from GRO a couple of years ago. This Ann died, aged 81, on 08 Dec 1865 from apoplexy in the Union Workhouse, Downham and was the widow of a Samuel Hunter farm labourer. So the search goes on ...........

Thanks again, Paul!!

Norfolk / 'Missing' death record for Ann Hunter (nee Langley)?
« on: Saturday 15 January 22 12:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hi fellow RootsChatters!

I am researching my mother's family - the Hunters - who moved from the Houghton / Great Massingham area of Norfolk to Middlesbrough in the 1870's. I have hit a blockage with my 3x great grandmother, Ann Hunter (nee Langley) and wonder if anyone can help?

Very briefly, Ann was probably born in either 1833 or early 1834 to Francis and Mary Langley - she was baptised in Houghton on 05 Jan 1834. She married William Hunter in Gt Massingham on 09 Feb 1855 and they had five children - the last of whom, William, was born 30 Nov 1865 in Gt Massingham.  My working assumption is that Ann must have died shortly afterwards.

William married again in June 1868 to Mary Ann Butters (nee Gagen) in Kings Lynn and is recorded as a widower so Ann 'must' have died between the end of 1865 and mid 1868 but I cannot find a death or burial record that fits. Can anyone help find what I have missed?

Thanks in advance


Paul!!

PS There is a seemingly 'obvious' Death record for an Ann Hunter registered in Downham in December 1865 (England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1837-1915) but that is not the right person!

Paul -- just to say, the coincidences are piling up!

As a child I lived at Pickup Bank on the same little road as the Chapel resides!

I know how high it is - I used to have to walk through the snow to school in Hoddlesden -- you couldn't tell where the road was! (They never closed schools in bad winters in those days!)

Well, that is a real coincidence! Andrew and family moved there some time between September 1892 (when daughter Ellen was born in Oswaldtwistle) and August 1894 (when daughter Honora was born at 'Top o'th Lane' in Pickup Bank). By 1901 Jane (and her new husband Thomas Harwood) were living at 'Garden Fold', in 1911 they were at 'Top o'th Sugar Field' and Jane died in 1917 at 'Top o'th Copy' - all a stone's throw from the Chapel. Their son, William (my grandfather) was a miner at Hoddlesden Colliery before his family moved into Darwen itself. Small world indeed! Paul!!

Yes I checked the Civil Registration Index for Ireland on the Ancestry site, but couldn't find the marriage either.

I don't know if you are interested - and you may already know, but Andrew's burial is on the Deceased On Line website.

He was buried on 1st March 1900 in the RC section of Darwen Cemetery - age shown as 47, a Labourer of Shorrock Fold, Darwen.

Hi 'Pennines'! Yes, I had that, thanks.  There are a number of my paternal relations including my grandfather and grandmother and a first cousin in Darwen Cemetery. It is a while since I have been there. Interestingly, Andrew's wife is not - she remarried after Andrew's death and died in 1917. She is buried in the Congregational graveyard at Pickup Bank high on the moors above Darwen (which is where the family lived after leaving Oswaldtwistle). Thanks again for your help!  Paul!!
