Hi Jan,

Sorry to rabbit on ...  I still haven't got the connection between William Hunter and Florence

Maybe I've missed something.

Cheers,

I couldn't find any likely looking Kez*/Kes*/Hez* 's in 1861 or 1871 either.......maybe there was a big overseas expedition from Lambeth that weekend that my missing Lambeth relatives went on too.

Were Keziah and William both down as single on their wedding cert.?  I found one William JJ Hunter in 1871 of the right age...but he already had a wife.

I don't suppose you have Keziah's birth cert. with a mothers name on to have another name on to try?

I had a brief look in the images on freeBMD to see if I could find Keziah's birth reg. but only found a Kezia Mason born in Dudley March quarter 1856 (couldn't read the Sep. quarter scan though and didn't look at any other years).

I did learn in the process though that Lambeth seems to be in both London and Surrey which I hadn't really noticed before.

Best regards,

Emily

Who are the witnesses on the marriage cert?  Are they possible family members?

But at least while looking for variants of Keziah I did come across

Kerenhappuch Hogsflesh

and emily and MR will know how nice that feels!

Keziah is driving me nuts!

There are 13 Lambeth-born Keziahs (or variants) showing in 1871 (out of a total of 170 odd Surrey-borns).

My suspicion would be that she had perhaps married before, and is therefore *hiding* as one of the four Lambeth-born Keziahs who are shown as married in 1871.  They are all living in London.

cheers

Paul

IGNORE THIS - *FORGOT* WE HAD AN ESTIMATED DOB FOR KEZIAH OF 1856 AND THESE WON'T FIT!

I found her too!!  (or on checking my notes have just dicovered I actually have a  Keremhoppuch Payton).
But there's actually a few of both name.......is it actually a name???

I also found a  Kerkaman Smith and a Kermounteen Harknett ....

To answer my own question:

kerenhappuch - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Keren-happuch
     horn of the face-paint = cosmetic-box, the name of Job's third
     daughter (Job. 42:14), born after prosperity had returned to
     him.

Obviously I should have paid more attention in reliogious studies
