Hi Eileen

I would be interested in knowing whether you have any headstones with the name Rhoades or Rhodes on it, I think both my GG Grandfather and mother was buried there.

Mary died in 1916 and Charles 1921

I now have the details from the 1904 certificate.

How old was Henry Hunt on that 1904 marriage cert? 29 year old

What was his occupation at that time? Boatman

Was his father definitely shown as William on the cert? Yes

What was William's occupation? Boatman

I think that Ricky hit the nail on the head with the Billinghay link, although I cannot find the family in the 1881 census.  I will have to get his birth certificate before the price rise!

My only big question I would have would be when did he die?  Did he die or just sail off in 1908?

Thanks to everyone who has contributed, you are so giving.

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.

I have a copy of my granmothers birth certificate it states his name was Henry.  She also called her son, my Uncle Harry which would indicate that she named him after her father.

My cousin told me as she has the marriage certificate.

But another point on my grandmothers marriage certificate he father was said to have been called Charles (Deceased)!
