Title: help please with marriage for Richard Hunt circa 1817, Limerick
Post by: kit54 on Saturday 17 August 24 20:21 BST (UK)

Hi,
I'd be very grateful for any help with the following:

I know that Richard Hunt was a tailor and his Death Notice appeared in the Limerick Chronicle on 31/8/1842, which mentioned that his son John was going to take over the business.
I wonder if John was the John Hunt baptised in St Michael's, RC, Limerick on 21/11/1818, with parents Richard Hunt and Margaret Ryan, so please can anyone help me to find this marriage for Richard Hunt and Margaret Ryan?

Thanks,

Kit

Richard had a daughter Anne died 28/08/1848 at her mother’s home North Strand.
Is there a baptism for an Anne to that couple.
Also a possible daughter Sarah died 1850.


I can’t see the son named as John in Richard’s obit just ‘his eldest son’

Thanks for your reply Sinann.

There was an ad in the Limerick Chronicle 26/10/1842, which states that John has taken over the business of his father, Richard; Thomas-street is mentioned as the address, so I know that he was Richard's oldest.

Also, I think that this might be John's mother's Death Notice:
Limerick Chronicle 21/2/1824:
Yesterday in Thomas-street, the wife of Mr Richard Hunt, Merchant Tailor.

I think that this is Richard's second marriage:
Limerick Chronicle on 3/11/1827:
Mr Richard Hunt , of Thomas Street, merchant-tailor, to Bridget, daughter of Mr Thomas Ryan, Grocer and Spirit merchant, Mary Street.

But, assuming that the above is correct, I cannot find Richard's first marriage!

Parish register says he married Sarah Ryan, not Bridget.

Thanks so much for that Wexflyer - it's brilliant!

Please, does anyone know if there were any records of burials kept?

Also, I believe that the Anglican records are being digitised. Does anyone know when these might be available?

Thanks,

Kit

There is a marriage of another Richard Hunt back in 1759. Possible grandfather of the 1817 Richard?

There is a death record for Richard in 1842 in St. Mary's.

Thanks again Wexflyer for that; I really do appreciate your help.

Please can you confirm that the death record for Richard Hunt in 1842 is St Mary's Cathedral ie Church of Ireland? (There are no burials available on the registers.nli.ie site for St Mary's, RC)

Also, please do you have any more detail re the Richard Hunt 1759 marriage?

Thanks very much,

Kit

No, I can't confirm any such thing.

First, I would note that being buried in what is technically a CofI graveyard never meant that the person was necessarily CofI

Can I again refer you to RootsIreland?

They say the death record is St, Mary's, and he was Catholic.
Now whether that is the Catholic or Protestant St. Mary's I know not.

Many registers weren't microfilmed by the NLI, and hence aren't on the website.

Thanks very much for that rathmore - I didn't have the one for Richard Hunt Junior, so that's great.

Please, is there anyone who can confirm that the symbol, (which I think is an) I, is an abbreviation for Inventory?

Thanks, I really am grateful for your help,

Kit
