Sarah Anne Hunt, b. 1845
« on: Tuesday 17 March 20 11:18 GMT (UK) »
Sarah Anne was married to Private (Sergeant) William Hunt (b. 1839 England) who served in the XX Battalion in Pietermaritzburg. Sarah died 3.8.1869 at the age of 23 years and 9 months in Pietermaritzburg, so she was born about in November 1845.

Where was she born?
Who were her parents?

Will be difficult to find out without knowing her maiden name. 

Do you know if she was born in England as well?

I don't know her maiden name. I believe she was born in S.A. No information on marriage but her child was born in November 1866, so probably married before February 1866.

Hmm - William Hunt's unit (2nd Battalion of 20th Regiment) was in the UK for most of 1866, moving to Hong Kong at the end of the year, possibly via Mauritius.

Could Bettney be her mother’s maiden name?

Snap same thought Bettney is a good clue to follow up.
