Does anyone have any information on a family by the name of Hunt who may have had links at one time with Finmere, Oxon? I have good reason to believe that my great-grandmother was a Harriet Hunt and that her father may have been called William. A Harriet appears, aged 44 and under her married name of Thomas, on the 1901 census, living near Kington, Herefordshire, when her place of birth is given as Finmere. In the 1891 census, I appear to have located the same person, together with my great-grandfather, Theophilus Thomas, living in the village of Llanfihangel Rhydithion in Radnorshire. Also there at that time was a William Hunt, widower, aged 65. I believe that the marriage of my great-grandparents may have taken place in the June quarter of 1880.

Hi Penny. It's been at least a few years since I've looked at my Hunt papers, but we may well have a connection. I'm not sure how much additional information I have, other than what's included in this strand, but I'll have a look as soon as I can; life's a bit hectic at the moment!

Penny - once you've made 5 posts then you can PM Mike your email address, so that he can then contact you privately.
Emailing the email address on this link will also reach him eventually: http://www.oxsil.org.uk/search.pl?user=3426

You actually only need 3 posts Penny before you can use the PM system ;)

I am trying to get some information about the Hunt family of Finmere. My GGGrandmother was Elizabeth Hunt, daughter of William Hunt and Charlotte Davis. She had four siblings, Emmanuel, Harriet, Thomas William, and Dinah. Elizabeth married Peter Evans. Their daughter, Alice Evans, was my GGrandmother and she immigrated to the US with her older sister when she was 16. We don't have much information about the family beyond my GGrandmother and would love to know more about Elizabeth's siblings.

Hi Leanne
Welcome to Roots Chat - it is so good in here there are just loads and loads of people who will be able and waiting to help you.
But just a word of advice or caution. Adding your request as a reply to someone else's post may get missed by others who could help you.
I would suggest you may do better to begin your own post and then x refer to this reply in your own post.
I am sure you will get some replies from those who are already working on this post but you just may miss a chance if you do not begin your own.
Good hunting and if your Hunt family connect to west Oxfordshire give me a shout as I have loads but none - yet - in Finmere.
Happy hunting

Thanks so much for the words of advice, NDFT. I actually had that very concern but wasn't sure what to do instead. Now, I just need to figure out how to start a new topic :-* Ugh, even my expression faces don't work ....I'll get the hang of this yet.
Thanks again!
