Help finding Blake/Hunter marriage

[Elizajb]

Oh Thanks JenB and Radcliff, I need to go back and re-do my search and hope I've just missed something. It does appear that this is definitely the family I'm after  so I can probably safely track them back further but if I could find the marriage for Mary then I can prove it, if you know what I mean.

how do you know her maiden name was Blake? AND if ti is Blake could she maybe have been married before albeit for a shirt while no children produced perhaps and that's why you cannot find a Blake / Hunter marriage unless of course Mary A was from Mary Blakes first marriage accounting for an apparent  absence of her birth entry in the GRo

Hi Toni, good point, I hadn't thought of that.  I have her "former" name listed as Blake on the birth certificate I recently received for her son, John Blake Hunter. I hadn't followed up on the other two children she had in the 1861 census so I didn't realise Mary A is not found on the GRO index. I've just had a wee look on freebmd but can't yet make a connection for a previous marriage and a marriage to William Hunter but will need to spend more time on it, I just had a quick look before replying. I know she did remarry around 1861 to a man by the surname of Dent, so William died some time between 1851 and 1861. His father William died also, so I'm not sure which death is which yet as I haven't sent away for the certificates.
