George Hundleby born 1789 Crawley

[SH100]

I would be very grateful if somebody could check for George Hundleby, who was possibly baptised 5 April 1789.  I believe he was born in Crawley and that this is near Winchester.  I would love to know his parents' names and anything else you can glean from the record.

Many thanks
Susan

Thanks Trish - this is wonderful - I have got all excited and messed up the boards!

You are now my heroine!

... and you raise a very interesting question.  I don't think this is George who married Elizabeth Dickenson.  I am fairly certain that George was the legitimate son of Robert Hundleby.

You will have seen the other posting - I now want to know who his father was!  I think this George married into the Curtis family - I found his will some years ago on TNA and to date I have not been able to connect him into the family.   If you are interested you may like to Google "Louisa Frances Curtis" and see an example of her jewellery.

2010 is going to be a good year for Family History

Regards
Susan

Just want to put my bit in on this message board so I get alerted to updates on this line of enquiry.  I am a CURTIS - a direct descendant of the father of Louisa Frances CURTIS who married a George HUNDLEBY who may well be the illegitimate son of Jenny HUNDLEBY, born in Crawley in 1789.  This is the right date for my George - I had him admitted as a lawyer to Lincolns Inn on Nov 11 1828 at the age of 38 (i.e birth about 1790).  If it is him, then he certainly is a very interesting chap to have achieved what he had.  Now to confirm who the father was!

I have a copy of The Courier, dated  Thursday evening, September 3, 1818. This was given to me by my favourite aunt Sarah Hundleby, It says

                             MARRIED
           On Tuesday last, at Camberwell, George Hundleby, of Great James-street, Bedford-row, Esq, solicitor to  Louisa Frances, eldest daughter of  John Curtis of Denmark-hill.

I often wondered about George and  Louisa and why I happened to have this paper!
