Hi

Thanks for clarifying  the family connections.

Although there was no marriage between George HUNT and Louisa POWELL,  were they know to have lived together at any time as in a state of marriage?  Just wondering, where George HUNT's name was recorded as the father of Louisa Mary POWELL - was it on her 1859 Birth Certificate?

Cheers

Yes, I have a copy of the birth certificate of Louisa Powell 1859, that was the shock discovery decades ago that the HUNT surname features in the family, no-one knew this. I do not know what the relationship was, casual or long-term? Louisa Powell's family appears to be associated with the laundries at Hampstead at this time. Louisa Powell's father was an 'ostler' a horse-keeper, stables man at Hampstead, Thomas Powell born 1798. It took me about 10 years or longer to find his home county which was Surrey, born in Southwark.

...the son George Richard HUNT is not in the family home in 1861 but is back there - unmarried - in 1871 (which ties in with him being about to marry Emily Harriett Austin).

So finding him in 1861 (was he in the Army for a short stint from about 1858, then out before 1871?) and 1881 (or was he in the Army at this time?).

His middle name, if he was in the Army and if he used the middle name, might be of use.

Thanks AMBLY, this may well help!

It also suggests there may have been a Richard in the family somewhere, giving George his middle name?

Not that this helps finding George Hunt soldier/army pensioner but did Louisa Mary Powell
marry a second time - if so, was her father also named as George Hunt on this marriage cert.
and what was his occupation?

The 'Mary' in my grandmother's name is unexplained, I can't see any related Powell with this name at this time.  Born 1859,

Louisa Powell's parents were Thomas POWELL [b.1798] and Charlotte WILLOUGHBY [bc.1800], perhaps the Mary name comes from this part of the family line?

She could have been given the middle name 'MARY' after Mary Elizabeth TOOMES who appears to be the sister of Louisa Powell born c1842

...

This is excellent, thank you! - I came across the TOOMES (means Tom's [child]) reference some while ago, but it's gone to the back of my mind. Look at the horse references also, Thomas Powell [b.1798] was a horse-keeper

Louisa Powell [bc.1841] married a George BENWELL in 1861, that's all I know at the moment.

Louisa Mary Powell [b.1859] married John INNELL in 1883, who was related to the Innell hansom cab-varnishing family of Victorian London. I have no record of Louisa Mary Powell marrying a second time.

[Louisa Mary Powell] could have been given the middle name 'MARY' after Mary Elizabeth TOOMES who appears to be the sister of Louisa Powell born c1842

There are several variants of the Toomes surname including THOMAS, TOMS, TIMMS, TOOMEY, THAMES, TOON, TOOMBS, TOWNES, TOMES and THOMS.

Found this reference to a Southwark TOOMEY born in Warwickshire. Thomas Powell the father of Louisa Powell was born in Southwark - although there is no direct relation here.

"John Toomey[,] Sarah [spouse], Bc 1835 Worcestershire, England Head Southwark St George Martyr, London"

Louisa Powell [bc.1841] married a George BENWELL in 1861, that's all I know at the moment.

The witnesses to this 1861 marriage were John Edward & Mary Elizabeth TOOMES

The possible  2nd marriage I was referring to was her daughter Louisa Mary Powell
