I am following the line of Hunts from Violet Hunt born 1887. Her father is George Henry Hunt a coal miner.

Does Violets marriage cert show her father as GH

 Carole I am researching for a friend and although before she went away on holiday she gave me quite a few certificates I am not sure now which ones I had as I returned them to her not wanting to be responsible for them, stupidly I did not take copies. So my answer is I do not know about Violets fathers name on her marriage certificate but what I found before my friend went away  fell into place with what she knew already.

I do now really feel that it has something to do with Henry Hunt and the William Tott connection but what is it? as I said in the beginning very puzzling. It would some how make sense if he is the son of the unmarried Emma Hunt as he was only 17 when he married. Is it usual for his birth to not be registered in 1859? he could then quite easily add the George in front of the Henry.

I could not find Jessie Cotterill's marriage on FS so will go back and look again

Once again Thanks everyone who ever said this game was easy!

What's also confusing me now is that William Fox surely married his servant Mary Millon born Great Chissel (actually Chishill), Essex (birthplace so distinctive) so how can the 1864 marriage be correct when the bride was a Mary Tott?

Annette I agree it all seems so complicated, when I started this tree I thought great, at last a local tree I can go and look things up but now I am not so sure I will find what I am looking for any way.

Hi,

The marriage Mary Tott to Mellor was actually in the 4th Quarter.

This marriage is also on Familysearch,  it took place 24th November 1856 Alfreton.

Fathers names are listed and neither match the Surname of Bride & Groom!

Why were our ancestors so difficult!!!

Hi

I think it may be best to wait until your friend is back off holiday and can verify the name of Violets father from her marriage cert

I agree that is what I will do instead of getting so frustrated, but somewhere in my memory it was from Violets birth certificate I got the George Henry Hunt from. We will not be connecting for about a month so will definitely let you all know when I have some thing more definite.

Once again thanks everyone

Thanks to everyone who have added input on this puzzle I have now through another posting on this site got the marriage for the George Henry Hunt son of Joseph and Ellen Hunt and his whereabouts after his marriage. This makes it really clear (well as clear as possible!) that I have a big search on my hands for the real GHH or HH as we all think might be the case.

Will post my findings when and if I get them.
