Can sks please check the details of a birth/baptism of William Warham HUNTER born London, father Hugh and mother Ann/Annie.

Shows up on Anc but no year. Hoping it is c1857.

Do the Ireland births & Baptisms on Anc show any detail? If so also looking for siblings born in Ireland (Mary Ann c1843 and David c1852).

Thanks, Quoy, cabinetmaker certainly is a fit, but year is a bit out either way.

Hmmm I think it is this one

Births Sep 1856
Hunter William Warkim London City 1c 83

Are you sure it is 1852, not 1856?? ;-)

sorry yes 1856

Yay! :-D

Thank you, I will order the certificate - assuming it will contain Ann's maiden name? I already ordered the wrong Wm once, should have check before!

Any luck wth the Irish records? :-)

Thanks, Quoy.

Can I please ask for another favour? Can you see William b. 1856 London City in 1891 or 1901 census? I believe he was discharged from the navy 1891 in Chatham, Kent so may be in Kent somewhere, possibly married. I know it is a big ask! Thanks again.

Ooh he would be a visitor, wouldn't he! His Royal Marine records I just downloaded gives his occupation as shoemaker so that fits perfectly.

I believe this is him as apprentice to a cordwainer in 1871:

hmmm...'cept it says he was born in Ireland...

Think I found his nephew Robert John HUNTER b. 1884 Kent, as a military person as well in 1911 in Hampshire??? Not sure, might not be him.

(In 1901 Robt was a licenced porter, I have that one).

How about this one in 1901?

Well if the 1891 one is him, as a single man, this seems unlikely I agree!

They really are a nuisance this lot! ;-)

Possible that the children in the 1901 census were not Hunters and maybe only Rose was their daughter (big age difference). Can't find a marriage between 1891 and 1901 for William and Caroline.

Can't see any of them as Hunters in 1891, or indeed 1911.

Just a thought!

Wouldn't surprise me, these Hunter men !!! :-D


Just ordered the birth cert for WW - not sure how much good it will do in terms of finding Irish records, but you never know!
