Children of William Hunns of Ramsey (second marriage 1662/3, buried 1677)
Jorat/Gerat - eldest son in will
Margaret - abt 1662
Edward - abt 1663/4, buried 1664

Hi Galium,

Thanks so much for looking those ones up for me

Looks like we might be dealing with 2 John Ibberson/Eversons as there are two baptisms close together in 1688...

My John Ibberson left a will in 1722 mentioning his son Francis, and daughters Susannah (husband William Eate) & Elizabeth (married surname Lawrance), he also mentions his grandchildren (the children of Isaac Hanker, who had married Margaret Ibberson but she died in 1719).

Interesting that Francis does not show up in the Ramsey baptisms....he is my direct line. It is most likely that he was born after 1696, as he does not marry until 1723/4. He is not mentioned in his grandfather's will (Francis Ibberson 1693/4), but his sisters Susannah, Margaret and Ann are. So we are missing Ann as well....unless she is the unnamed daughter born in 1693. Which, now that I think about it makes sense as the will was written that year and Susannah and Margaret were born 1689 & 1691. The family were baptist by the 1740's so perhaps their non-conformism started before Francis' birth?

Did the Hunns family show up? Or are they also missing from the parish registers?

Thanks Galium, of course there are two 

Hopefully the wills will help me keep them straight. My William Hunns died in 1677 (buried 29 Apr 1677), leaving a will (written 21 Apr 1677) in which he is described as William Hunns the elder. He names his children as, Jorat, Margaret, Grace, Edward & John. His wife was named as Elizabeth, whom he married 27 Feb 1662/3 (Elizabeth Tilley), after his first wife Margaret died in June 1662 following young Margaret's birth. Margaret Hunns born 1662 is my direct line.

William Hunns junior does not appear to be his son....possibly a nephew or cousin? William Hunns married Anne Potten 16 Oct 1666, and Dorothy born Feb 1666/67 must be their first child, hence the moniker junior being used.

Thank goodness for wills hey
