Mary Ann Husk (c1820) - passing through Fonthill Gifford?

[diplodicus]

Mary Ann Husk was baptised on 23 January 1820 in Fonthill Gifford to parents Thomas and Ann.

In the 1851 census, she is already married to James Bond (really!) living in Bond's Yard off Wincanton High Street. By 1861, they have moved to Silver street. In both entries, her place of birth is clearly "Fonthill Gifford". 1871 finds them in West Wittering, Sussex (Mary's birthplace = "Stop, Wiltshire" - there is a "Stop Farm" in the middle of the village) and twenty years later, they're still moving eastwards and are living in East Sutton, Kent and now she was born in "Hindon, Wiltshire" which is a ½ mile to the west of Fonthill Gifford.

I can't find any Husks in the 1841 census for Fonthill Gifford although a Google reveals a Maria Husk there as a servant in 1851.

So, dear Rootschatters, where were the Husks from and to where do the rest of them disappear?

Seasons greetings to you all,
Malcolm

Ooops sorry Rosie99,

I forgot to mention them. They all seem to disappear as well (or at least I can't reliably place them thereafter).

Thank you.

Freebmd only has about a dozen Husk records in total.  I tried a search on Ancestry *usk but won't repeat what results I got 

Where and when did Mary Ann marry

[chempat]

If this is them in 1851, then marriage by 1841, as son born in 1841 at Wincanton

Castle Cary  Wincanton  Somerset      England
James Bond    31     Wincanton  Somerset      
Mary Ann Bond    31 Fonthill Gifford
William Bond    10 Wincanton
Charles Bond    5
Sarah Ann Bond    2
Ellen Bond    5 Months

Yes ChemPat, that is them in Wincanton.

I searched ancestry born any Husk born 1800 ± 10 years and there are five main groups of Husks:

• Devon
• Cowling, Suffolk
• South Shields & Newcastle Upon Tyne
• Whitechapel and central London
• East Coast of Scotland

Devon ought to be the most likely source of the family?
