Constance Adelaide Victoria Augusta Somerset AMHERST
« on: Sunday 21 June 20 16:37 BST (UK) »
Hello Everyone!  Trying to find out any info re the Amherst family, especially Constance Adelaide Victoria Augusta Somerset Amherst and her parents. 

I know she married Kime Hunter in 1857 in St Bartholomew The Great, City of London, and her father is listed as Frederick Amherst (poss middle name Charles but a bit illegible on the marriage cert).  She had 2 sons with that marriage - Kime Hunter William Hunter and Joe (confirmed on GRO website) - both born in Portsea, Hampshire.  Her Husband Kime Hunter died 1865 Hendon and is buried in St Mary's Willesden.  He appears in the London Gazette a few times as a debtor.  I know their son Kime married twice. 

I just cannot find out anything about Constance (if that was the name she used) and her father (or mother etc).  I thought maybe they changed their surname or it was misspelt, but not finding anything on Ancestry or FindMyPast.  Can anyone help? 

Many thanks, Nina

Hi Rosie99 - well that's definitely Kime in the 1871 census as he lists Spicer St on his later marriage banns!  Thanks for that.  The sister - just found a GRO listing for the birth of Augusta Elizabeth Sabina Hunter, mmn Somerset Amherst!  The marriage - Constance's father was listed as Frederick Charles (?) Amherst not Thomas Clarke and her maiden surname as Amherst not Clarke.  But it does seem to be her ... wonder what is going on with the names???

Mind you, there's no stopping someone from lying on a marriage cert ...
