Hi Rosie, Pennines and Maiden Stone,
Firstly, thanks for your kind replies!
Ann's parents are, (I think!), John Wellington Hunt and Elizabeth Trimmington. It's Elizabeth's surname that has stumped me for over 30 years!
I found it unusual that they got married in Blackburn RO; I have always thought that this is an indication that they were either non-conformists or atheists. Elizabeth's name on their MC is definately Trimmington, (as is her 1841 Census record in Blackburn).
I obtained the BC of their daughter Ellen (b in 1850 in Liverpool), over 30 years ago; it was a transcribed copy, and Elizabeth's maiden name was stated as TIVINGTON. I spent ages researching this to no avail. After contacting the Registrar at Liverpool, I was told that they couldn't really read it very well, as it was faded!
According to
www.gro.gov.uk, Elizabeth's maiden name, for the Births for Ellen's sister Fanny and brother John is stated as Timmington. All 3 siblings have baptisms that are C of E.
Then last night, I stumbled upon Ann's Birth too, with the maiden name of Timmington, but I am not a member of A*stry etc., which is why I posted on Rootschat. (I have looked at family search and Lancashire Online Parish Clerk for this baptism and burial, but have had no luck).
NB Ann's Birth was registered in the Regent Road Sub District of Salford.
I'm really stumped with Elizabeth's maiden name; on Census records, her place of birth is given as Liverpool, Wigglesworth or Kilham! I've been pulling my hair out over this for 30 years, so if anyone has any suggestions, then please get in touch!
Thanks,
Kit
