Hi Lynne
Further to my last, I could see no Hunter marriage in Ramsbury in 1738. Found the following burials in Ramsbury
4 Apr 1789 Charles Hunter husband of Sarah
6 Jun 1793 Sarah Hunter widow
Could not find a Charles Hunter in Ramsbury baptisms but spotted the following 6 sons of Charles and Sarah Hunter
19 Jul 1741 Thomas, 6 Nov 1743 William
8 Dec 1745 Edward, 28 Oct 1748 Joseph
19 May 1751 George, 6 Apr 1755 Richard

Hi Dave
Just read your latest repy to Pollyperka with interest - I wonder whether one of the Hunter boys you mention could have been the father or grandfather to my great great grandfather Richard Hunter. He was born in Ramsbury about 1791 but so far that's as much as I know.
Anyway, gives me some names to think about so thank you!

I'll see if he pops up in Ramsbury, Janet. Wouldn't it be great if he turned out to be the Richard Hunter baptized 1755.

Hi Lynne and Janet
I found only one Richard Hunter baptized in Ramsbury around the date you gave......
30 Mar 1788 Richard son of William and Eleanor Hunter probably the William baptized 6 Nov 1743.
Other children of William and Eleanor all bap Ramsbury
11 Feb 1770 Sarah, 23 Jun 1771 William, 23 Jan 1774 Charles, 21 Apr 1776 george, 28 Jun 1778 Mary, 18 Jun 1780 Thomas, 15 Sep 1782 Elizabeth, 6 Mar 1785 Sarah.
Marriage Ramsbury, 27 Aug 1769 Wm Hunter, lab, and Eleanor Day, sp, witnesses Wm Bayman and Tho Smith.
Baps Ramsbury
6 Nov 1743 William Hunter son of Chas and Sarah,
18 Jan 1746 Eleanor dau of Jn (probably John) and Elizabeth Day
If that was the correct Richard then there is a link between your families.
