Margaret Cook Woolwich 1861

[Wodgemac]

Yes I've seen the 1901 entry where JT and Elizabeth are witness's.
Richard was a brother born in India in 1871 John Thomas was born in 1869 in India too

The Richard Hunt who married Catherine A Hudson was b Bermondsey 1857.  In 1871 he is with parents & father Richard was a farmer so not the same people

There is a Richard Hunt b 1872 India in the Royal Victoria hospital in Hampshire 1901 - unmarried & a sapper with the Royal Engineers.  No marriage to a Catherine in 1901

Here he is in 1881

I can't get access to the familysearch for some reason.

But I'll try and explain what I already have for the Hunt family

Richard Hunt born 1835 in Nenagh, Tipperary (I have copies of his military records from 1854 to 1877 and his death certificate from 1882 in Woolwich. (No birth records)
His wife was Mary (O)Connors born in Woolwich in 1851 (unable to locate birth) but have census records living with parents Thomas Connors and Norah from Ireland.
Their marriage was in 1868 in Maidstone
Their children according to my Great Aunt were:
Richard Born in India 1871
Harriet 76
Charlie 78
George 79
and Anne Catherine (my Great Grandmother) (she was down as May in the 1881 census in Woolwich)??
Percy 83
And since I've been researching I've located who I thought were family, John Thomas born in India in 1869
and very recently Ellen born in Jersey in 1875, but obviously i could be very wrong...
I have somewhere too, that Richard Hunt's father was Thomas, a stonemason, but I've never been able to locate him.

To establish Richard’s fathers name - you need to buy a copy of the marriage cert

No daughter Harriet b 1876 shown on 1881 entry

Richard died 1882 Woolwich but you say a son Percy was b 1883.  No birth in Woolwich and no birth with mmn Connor or O’Connor

Where is Mary Hunt in 1891?

[Wodgemac]

Not sure where Harriet was in 1881, but she did cause a bit of a scandal in the family when she left her husband. My Great Grandmother Ann Catherine (Kathleen) was living with her and her husband Thomas Wright in Dublin in 1901.

I have the wedding certificate of Richard and Mary in Maidstone, 1868 and Richards father was Thomas (deceased) Stonemason
Mary's father was Thomas O'connors a dockyard labourer.
witness's were Ellen Sewell and Martin Connoly

According to my Aunt's notes, Percy was a very small baby when Richard Hunt died in 1882, so he would've been born in 82. Not sure why I put 83.
He was aged 8 living with Mary in 4 Waverly cottage, Ogleby street in Woolwich in 1891. There was also another child to Mary living there at the time called Florence who was born in 1896???
Percy aged 18 and Florence aged 15, are both living with Mary in the 1901 census at 32 Dicey street in Woolwich, as well as her son Charles who was born in Jersey in 1878.
There is also Ellen Sewell aged 60(sister) a widow living there.
There is also a boarder called Frank Martin age 64 living there

Percy was James Percy - birth reg March qtr 1883.  Richard died Dec qtr 1882

Florence’s birth reg has no mothers maiden name shown - b 1885

1891 birthplace was Woodland Kent on Ancestry so have notified a transcription error

[Wodgemac]

Thank you.
I think I might order copies of their birth certificates just to see who the father was recorded for Florence and I think James Percy's certificate would be quite poignant.
He used to look after my Great Aunt and she named one of her children after him.

[CaroleW]

Very much doubt Florences’s birth cert will show a fathers name but if you apply for a pdf copy they only cost £7 instead of £11
