John Hunt born about 1791 possibly Ashreigney, Devon, England

This is related to another thread regarding his wife Mary Pope.

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=766090.0

He was listed as from Ashreigney, Devon on the marriage document to Mary Pope.  He signed that document. He married  Elizabeth in Chittlehampton so possibly from there.

The previous thread mentioned above  found many useful connections but unable to find anything about John Hunt before his marriage to Elizabeth Jarman (Jerman, German, Jirman) in Chittlehampton, Devon, England 26 April 1820.

From Canada records, it seems there were at least two Hunt families that came to Canada  but can't connect them to John Hunt as we have found nothing on his parents or siblings.

John Hunt was a blacksmith and farmer.  He passed 12 JUL 1879 in North Dorchester, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada and informant was his son George Hunt 1827-1899.

Hi
Have you noticed a Richard and Sarah Hunt blacksmith at Chittlehampton?
He is born 1788 at Chumleigh according to the 1851 census.
They married 9.12.1813 Richard Hunt and Sarah Tinson.
His gravestone gives a slightly earlier birth of 1785.

Unfortunately several Richard Hunts born at Chumleigh.
But if you assume they are brothers  then only two.
John and Grace Down married 6.12.1780 Barnstaple - John 17.9.1786 and Richard 20.11.1791
other children Grace 1781 Mary 1784 and  Elizabeth 1789  or
Richard and Elizabeth Row married 7.5.1777 (made mark )- Richard 28.11.1784 and John 23.5.1795
other children Elizabeth 1780 ,Ann 1782 ,George 1787 (wheelwright),and Sarah 1790.

I'd tend to go for Richard and Elizabeth but the age for John is slightly out and they signed with a cross.

Best I can  come up with

In your previous thread there was a question "Did I miss William"

William was baptised 15 May 1836 at Ashreigney son of John and Mary Hunt. - Blacksmith abode Kelly's

Further research found William's obituary giving birth as "Ring Ash" in 1838 but the obit did fill in some other blanks

Brilliant find.

I would try the Devon Records Office. They also have a contact us feature for questions
 I took a quick look at the catalogue and found the following:-

John Hunt and Elizabeth his wife 1812 removal order to Ashreigney

These are one set of possible parents for John Hunt, the full removal order could list the children and will definitely where they were living at the time tell you why they were sent to Ashreigney.
