Title: Hunt family lookup
Post by: Shanna342 on Monday 28 May 07 16:07 BST (UK)

I would appreciate any info on the parents and siblings of:

Joseph Hunt and his brother James Hunt.  They were both born in Coseley Staffs and christened in Sedgley according to 1841/51/61 census.

James was christened on 24 April 1812
Joseph was christened on 14 April 1822

I think their parents were Richard and Elizabeth (Fellows) married 11 Dec 1810 at St Thomas Dudley but I could be wrong.

Thanks

Brian

Hi Brian

If you believe that the christening information you have given is correct, the IGI will give information on more siblings
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

James and Joseph are both in the same batch     C009984  and siblings given are
Richard 1814
Sarah 1816
Hannah 1819
Isaac 1821

All have parents Richard Hunt and Elizabeth

A full parent search on the IGI also gives a number of children born to a Richard Hunt and Elizabeth in  Kinver, Stafford. I assume these are a different family as there is another James, christened November 1824. I have found this later family on the 1851 Census.

Thanks for the info Trish.

James and Joseph were born in Coseley Staffs and they and their siblings were all christened in Sedgley except Mary.

James was married in Tipton in 1836 and Joseph was married in Dudley in 1847.

James and his son Henry were living with Joseph and his family in Dudley during the 1851 census.

I have Joseph and his family in Birmingham on the 1861 census but I can't trace any of the other Hunts.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Brian

Hi Brian

I didn't have much joy finding any others on the census either - unfortunately I found the wrong Richard & Elizabeth in 1851. I will have another browse
