I rechecked the image and the entry as I thought it was worth checking if the name was a badly written Lousia.  However it has been correctly transcribed as Lucretia.

The occupation however is given as Blacksmith wid.

Hi Sue, many thanks for that information, I take it that Louisa Chart or Choat is Lucretia?  I'm not looking for two wives am I?

Hi,

I think they are one and the same.

I looked at the Parish records and didn't see any Lucretia Hunt in the time period I was looking at.

I don't recall seeing any Lucretia with a diferent surname either although I wasn't really looking for one.
