This is the reason I queried a second marriage for Louisa Mary Powell/Innell

Dec 1915

Yes, you are correct - thank you. I was kindly given the PENSOTTI surname association some while ago, but it did not sink in. What does it all mean please - the name-change & everything?

My parents used to to take me to visit Ethel at Battersea when I was very small, she was of an advanced age in those days, I think living in an alms house. I was told Ethel was my grandmother's sister or something like that?

I would assume that Louisa Mary Powell's husband John Edward Innell has died and she remarried

Dec 1915   
Innell    Louisa M    Pensotti    Wandsworth    1d   2070    
Pensotti    John    Innell    Wandsworth    1d   2070

The marriage doesn't  appear to be online to check who she has named as her  father

EDIT - possible death of husband John

Jun 1911
Innell   John   age 51   Hampstead   1a   337

John & Louisa Mary's daughter Winifred gives address as 11 Kersely Street when she marries in 1921

Winifred Sarah Innell age 22 address 11 Kersley Street married Francis George Watson on 17th Dec 1921 in Battersea  her father John Innell deceased

Understood, thank you.

So I may have Watson relatives?

There is a "George Hunt, Shoeing Smith, 1882, Life Guards" listed at the below link, which is interesting in the context of the leather-working profession which comes up for this family?

George Hunt 'soldier' appears as the father of Louisa Mary Powell (age 23) on her marriage certificate of 1883, to John Innell of Hampstead.

Properly, the term ought to be 'trooper' if so, but I doubt such fine detail was observed all the time?

https://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/namesearch/?FirstName=George&Surname=HUNT&RecordType=VictorianConflicts&RecordDateStartYear=1857&RecordDateEndYear=1899&Step=1

Correction: I'm wrong - 'shoeing-smith' seems to be an alternative name for a farrier.

[kr236rk]

He's also listed here as:

No.847 Shoeing Smith, HUNT, George, Egyptian Campaign 1882.

Very few searches seem to recognise or show second names.

Is there limited library access to any of these armed forces sites please?

Thank you.

I have a possible result for George Hunt's father from a source unrelated to RootsChatCom. I haven't got the details for this information. The result is as follows. My comments in brackets -

Marriage: 23 March 1840 St George, Camberwell, Southwark
George Hunt, Full Age, Bachelor, [Profession?] Spinner, George Street, [groom’s father?] James Hunt, Grinder
Susannah North [bride's maiden name?], Full Age, Spinster, George Street, [bride’s father?] John North, Corn? Porter?
Wit: C Stevens, Mary Ann North
By Banns.  Groom & Bride sign X

Suddenly had a thought about what father & son's profession was at this stage, were they street knife-grinders, one of the recorders must have been at a loss to describe this occupation so they put down 'spinner' to describe the grinding wheel?

Knife grinders were a common sight in Victorian London, this image from the 30's probably shows one Bert Smith, a Romany knife grinder.

Don’t know about spinner. It’s really not clear on the image which is on Ancestry.

If your George Hunt was still serving with the army in 1861, he will be one of these:

754   Trooper   1st Dragoons
1459   Trooper   7th Hussars
582   Private   2nd Coldstream Guards
6393   Private   2nd Coldstream Guards
537   Private   29th Foot
3661   Private   30th Foot
2037   Drummer / Fifer   45th Foot Depot
558   Private   62nd Foot Depot
2369/891/1653   Private   107th Foot
790   Gunner   3rd Brigade R.A.
343   Corporal   5th Brigade R.A.
903   Gunner   5th Brigade R.A.
1043   Gunner   Coast Brigade R.A.
471   Trooper   7th Dragoon Guards
4372   Gunner   Horse Brigade R.A.

Cross referencing this list with "Stations of the British Army" for January 1859 (Louisa born 9 months later) allows us to eliminate those soldiers whose units were overseas or otherwise distant from London at the time of the liaison. This leaves us with the two soldiers in the 2nd Coldstream Guards, and the artillerymen, which I have highlighted in bold.
