George DUNK lookups please
« on: Sunday 17 February 13 10:25 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I wonder if somebody could do the following lookups please (I can do reciprocal work in the York area).

First a marriage from parish records: June quarter 1920 Hastings, George Dunk to Sarah Hilder (or Hyland) - I need to know their ages and father's names.

Next details from a grave: George Dunk Hastings Cemetery Burial 29th Dec 1942 Grave Number LTH 9 (date or year of birth would be good, age at death, also is he buried with/near relatives)

Many thanks
Paul

Re Sarah Hilder nee Hyland
The FreeBMD index gives George's marriage in Hastings in 1920 to Sarah HILDAR (with an 'A')
Although a little older than George, perhaps you may wish to consider the following death was also that of his wife Sarah.
            Deaths March quarter of 1940:  Dunk Sarah, aged 75, Hastings ref 2b 15

The above death seems to fit because a quick scan of the indexes reveals a Sarah Hyland (born Hastings 1864) married William Rowland Hilder in Hastings in 1884.  Fifty nine year old William died in Hastings in 1920, and assuming this to be your Sarah, she must have been quickly snapped up again for she remarried within a few months.

Thanks very much groom and Roy G for your replies, my first need is to establish whether this is the correct George Dunk, hence I need to see the marriage record.

If someone could look it up in PRs that would be great, otherwise I'll have to get the cert.

Thanks
Paul

Hi,

These are all the areas covered by the Hastings registration district:

http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/hastings.html

without knowing which church it could be a lengthy task;  if they married in a Register Office these registers are not available to view and a certificate must be obtained.

Hi

Can you confirm what George Dunk did for a living.

I believe he was a hall porter (or similar) at a lodging house/gentleman's club in St Mary Magdelen, Hastings.

The marriage was in 1920 so a lot of those parishes were part of the central Hastings parish by then, if he married in a church it is more than likely it was in Hastings parish.
