To be honest I think the Publican link may have been a red herring.
I was hoping that someone might know about the pub and where I might find out more information on the landlords so I might be able to identify him better.
I think my cousin has made a fundemental mistake in attaching herself to the wrong family, the one in Wootton, Lincolnshire.
I think that this Henry and his family were canal boatmen (as he was described as a boatman in his wifes death certificate) who as a result of changes in the way we transported goods had to find another trade, ran a pub for a short time until his wife contracted TB.
There are three certificates that would help me, Henry's birth and death certificates, but cant find any candidates. There is a Henry Hunt born Leeds in 1877 but his father was not called William.
There is also a birth certificate for another daughter Gladys Hunt I was told he had who must have been born bet 1904 and 1906 but I cannot find her, there are a couple of Gladys in the 1911 census, if these are her she must have been brought up as someont elses daughter. I was told she married someone called Wilson. What happened to her I dont know as I never met her and she was never spoken about.
