" Hunt Family "

I am having great difficulty in tracing the parents of my Gtx4 Grandfather David Hunt, he was born in Necton in 1795, I know he married a Jemima Walker a farmers daughter from that area, they had a daughter Caroline who was employed by the Rider-Haggards, Braddenham Hall.

Any clues ?

Kind Regards


ANNE

Re: " Hunt Family "

Hi Ann,

Looks like David HUNT was living in West Bradenham in the 1851 census - LDS cd for census 1851  It appears he claimed to be born in 1785 in this census but they did tend to change their ages on various census.

I suggest that you join the Norfolk Family History Society - only 10 Pounds per year, their library is in Norwich.They have the transcripts of Necton covering the period you need,. 1722 - 1795.  From the census of 1851 there are several WALKER entries for Necton also, and as Jemima claims she was born in Necton also, you could gain a big leap.  David HUNT married Jemima WALKER on Dec 28, 1820 in Necton, so you could see who the witnesses were etc in that same transcription.  The addy for the NFHS (Norfolk Fam. Hist. Soc.) is  http://www.norfolkfhs.org.uk/

Happy Hunting..

Matty
