Margaret HUNT Barnstaple 1841 Look up please.

[KateW]

Please could someone look up on the 1841 census for Barnstaple.  I am searching for details of Margaret Hunt (the age and place of birth)
My knowledge of this lady is fairly sketchy.  Her husband was John Dennis Hunt an Ironmonger of Joy street, Barnstaple.  I believe the ref for the census is: HO107/203/29 (or 25)
I have a record of the marriage on 19th August 1805 but not her age or place of birth although I think her maiden name was Harry.

Any details at all would help me greatly

Thanks for looking.  It looks as if she may not have been alive then.  Death records would be my next thought but not if before 1837.  Any idea where I can look next for her?

Genechaser, than you for your Personnal Messages.  I thought I had replied but think I must have misunderstood how to send PMs as there doesn't seem to be any sign of it in the Outbox.  thanks for the information, gratefully received.

Hi Kate

Where did the 1805 marriage take place?

Ancestry records show the marriage was in Barnstaple.

Margaret's maiden name was Harry and as my searches for Margeret Harry seem to some up mainly with results in Cornwall, I am going to ask the question on the Cornwall section.

Hi Kate

I checked the marriage on the Barnstaple RO transcription - its as you say:

19 Aug 1805 John Dennis Hunt to Margarett Harry

They seem to have had two children baptised there as well - William (11 Mar 1807) and Mary (16 Dec 1808) - but none after this - I checked through to 1823, but the two individuals with John in 1841 may be grandchildren. The index to burials was not on the shelf today, so I couldn't check for Margaret's - if you like I'll try again when I next go.

Do you have John's ancestry - its quite easy to check back a couple of generations (eg Bap 7 Sep 1777, son of William & Dorothy, nee Dennis) if you haven't.

Hi steve

That is very kind of you!
I have eight children for John Dennis and Margaret but you have made me check up more closely on them!  I know they had a son, John born abt 1816 I but do not know his exact birth date.  He was my 2x Gt grandfather and I have John Dennis stated as his father on the marriage cert.  They also had twin sons George And Thomas born 29 Nov 1819 and three other daughters, Jane, Margaret and Catherine.  I have several of them on Census reports.
I would be interested to know who was with him in 1841 census.
It is very kind of you to offer to look for Margaret's burial, yes, please! 
I did know that John was son of William and Dorothy Dennis and they married on 17 June 1776 in Barnstaple and that Dorothy was daughter of John Dennis and Mary Gould.  I do not know who William's parents were though.  Any information you could find would be brilliant.
Many thanks,
KateW.

PS:  Which record office are you checking in, is it Exeter?  Well, thanks so much!
