Hi,
Once again I have hit a brick wall and need a little help!!
I have found Jacob Hunn b 1815 married to Tamasine or possibly Tamosius i think she was a Bullen b 1815. They were married in 1841 but i would dearly love to find out who their parents were.
I have got them on the 1841 census but cannot go back any further so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You
Robin

Hi Robin
www.familysearch.org has a member-submitted entry (so needs to be checked against parish records) for the marriage of Jacob HUNN to Tamasine HOLMESE 3 Nov 1835 Acle, Norfolk
also a marriage for possibly his parents (also member-submitted)
Jacob Hunn to Amy Jermy 6 Apr 1801 Acle, Norfolk
There are two baptisms from extracted parish records for
Jacob HUNN Birth: 9 Mar 1810 Christening: 11 Mar 1810 Acle, Norfolk,
Parents: Jacob HUNN and Amy GERMANY
and James HUNN Christening: 22 Nov 1813 Acle, Norfolk, England
Parents: Jacob HUNN and Amy
If you got the birth cert for the youngest child Joseph shown aged 2 on 1841 census that should give you his mother's maiden name, and a later census should show birthplaces and more accurate ages for the couple, as ages were usually rounded to the nearest 5 years.

Here's the family in 1851 (indexed with surname Henry probably because of an enumerator's mark making the last letter look like a y) As you'll see, their ages are higher than given in 1841

Hello Robin, if you don't mind me asking, how are you connected to these Hunns? Jacob was my 4xgreat granduncle and the son of Jacob & Amy (Jermy) as Barbara said.
I am currently trying to connect all the Norfolk Hunns together into one family, like a restricted one-name-study, so am always interested to contact other member of the Norfolk Hunn group, particularly my own line.
I also have further info on this couple (+ ancestors/descendants) if you're interested

Hi Toban!
My Grandma was Ethel Hunn b 1905 so Jacob would be my GGG Grandpa. Since my last post I have managed to get back as far as Jacob b 1749 married to Anne Smith, but would be very interested in any info you have.
Regards

Ah, now you've got me looking for people - where does Ethel fit? I can't find her in my tree? ???
We recently found Jacob (b. 1748)'s parents marriage, which had been eluding us for quite some time ::). Our Hunn line, so far, goes back to Jacob's grandfather, John, who married Lydia Warner in 1711 and the tree contains over 1000 descendants of that couple. John's son Robert had four sons (John, Robert, Edward and our Jacob) who are responsible for the spreading of the Hunn name throughout Norfolk (apart from the descendants of the Norwich Hunns - thats a whole different branch! ;D)
If you want any specific info, just ask
-
Yup! I got as far as John Hunn and Lydia Warner b 1695.I Have their son Robert married to a Mary Anne Sieg.
If you come forwards a bit to Jacob b 1810 married to Tamasine Holmes, one of their sons James b 1839 married Sarah Platten their son James b 1882 married Emma Jane Watts who were my Grandmas parents.
There are so many Jacobs and Jamess it can get a little complex!
Hope this ties in with your research!

Unfortunately Robin, that doesn't tie in very well at all...
If you're descended from the Platten-Hunn marriage then your not my line - you belong to the aforementioned Norwich/Fleggburgh (Burgh St. Margaret) Hunns. But it's understandable where you got lost, there are many similar names between the two branches and having two James' born in 1838/9 doesn't help matters.
Your line, as I believe it, goes as such:
Ethel (1905) - James (1882, Hoveton St. Peter; m. Emma Jane WATTS) - James (1838, Fleggburgh - 1838, Rollesby; m. Sarah PLATTEN) - John (1811, Fleggburgh - 1894, Fleggburgh; m. Sarah FROSDICK) - Henry (1765, Fleggburgh - 1816, Fleggburgh; m. Lydia KITTLE) - John (c.1734 - 1774, Fleggburgh; m. Mary CHURCH) - John (1704, Acle - 1763, Fleggburgh; Jane HOLSWORTH) - John (1671, Acle - 1721, Acle; Frances READ) - Edward (1634, Norwich - 1708, Acle; m. Sarah ...) - Robert (c. 1609, Norwich; m. Margaret GOULDMAN [dau of Peter Gouldman & Margaret Austen])
As you can see, I have accumulated (with help!) a fair amount of info on this branch also - and it goes back further than my own, so that's a bonus ;D
Any queries just ask.
As for me, I'm off to bed - cos it's 10 to 1 a.m. here in rural Victoria
Night!

P.S. Where did you find the marriage for Robert to Mary Ann Sieg? I was referring to the 1740 marriage of Robert Hunn to Mary Turner in Rollesby. :)

Hi!
I know im twelve years too late but how far did you get with this? My Great grandmother was a Hunn from Fleggburgh, Great Yarmouth and I've been tracking down the Hunn line to Jacob Hunn 1777.
Do you have an ancestry?
-
Hi 👋🏻
I did have ancestry but just ran out , I have researched Hunn , Jacob was Grt grt grandfather living Acle Norfolk . What are you looking for ?
