Am I missing somethig?

If and I know it is a mighty big if you can strip oput the replacement naming for children who died in infancy, then you just might find that there is a pattern, and the children are not named at random or by the law of sod. Worth a look if you can find the date, who knows whilst looking you might find the answer.

Hi Elsa-Mary
I don't know if you have now found the information you wanted about Peter Lunt but I can tell you that I am a DNA match with two of Peter's descendants (one from his son James and the other from his daughter Mary Ann) and as I am descended from Peter's brother Brian this makes it extremely likely that the match is through their parents Brian Lunt and Mary Smith because I have a fairly extensive tree with no other obvious family connections with my DNA matches.  I see from your posts that you may have some information about the Lunts that I don't have so I would be really interested to see your tree if this is possible.  Mine is on a number of different site under various titles.
Best regards, Barbara

Wow--sorry been in Wales till now --so had not been able to think about this--my younger sister--also a Lunt at birth died--her name Edwina Alexandra  Louise-I am basically Elsa-Mary Lunt born N .Ireland !!!1947 - In Newtownards married surname Owen-now divorced--so now I am only  Lunt of 1st marriage of James Harold Lunt 1914 Birkenhead--son of John Lunt--I haVe NOT WANTED TO  DO DNA--REALISING the impact on my family-they use thgis stuff for manyout ins purposes-but hey.I am now 72--so maybe take a chance-as-- RUMOUR!! HAS IT--not found it to be so-- we may have Jewish heritage!----no proof at all
o at all --oinly JOhn Lunt--seemed a  bloody good business man-- I  have been fortunate to have family bible type,insertions from then--I know the family branched  OUT FROM  MARY ANNE-would love to know about her  background--have some-not confirmed--cN WE ASSIST EACH OTHER??

Regarding your mysterious Peter is it possible that he is son of an unmarried female Lunt hence harder to find

Hi,
 Yes I do think that is very possible an illegitate birth--but to whom??--
