Hunter Miller born 1852 - 1854/Hunter Miller 1855 - ?
« on: Tuesday 18 July 23 14:23 BST (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters,

I'm trying to find the death record of the second Hunter Miller born in 1855.  His parents are William and Isabella Miller.  Isabella's maiden surname was also Miller.  Second one seems to have been named after  deceased sibling.  Both Hunter's born in Durham.

He appears on a 1861 and 1871 census but disappears after that.

If anyone can help because it's driving me mad...
Thanks in advance - Tab 11

Hunter Miller's brother Thomas had a son born born Q1 1876 who was named Hunter. Does that suggest that his brother Hunter had died by then?
