I have just received my Hubby's Grandmother's wedding certificate. She was Elizabeth Hankin, born in 1881 in Hampshire. She married an Alfred John Hunt born in 1862 in 1911 and the certificate gives Alresford Hampshire as the place. Alfred's Father is also given as Alfred John and both of them are down as plasterers. I can't find any Alfred Johns from Hampshire who are both plasterers so I assume he was not originally from there. Is it just a case of looking for every AJ born at the right time and checking his and his Father's employment, or is there an easier way? Sue

have you found alfred john Jnr birth reg, or on any earlier census? what was his status when he married in 1911? widower or batchelor?

1901 1901 England Census Record about Alfred J Hunt Name: Alfred J Hunt Age: 39 Estimated birth year: abt 1862 Relation: Head Household: View other family members Gender: Male Where born: Stepney, London, England Civil parish: Ilford Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary County/Island: Essex Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Source information: RG13/1650 Registration district: Romford Sub-registration district: Ilford ED, institution, or vessel: 21 Folio: 169 Page: 2 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 7 Still a plasterer but married with lots of children If this is him, don't think he'll be on 1891 as some of the kiddies where born in Canada about that time.

Thanks everyone, I can't believe the speed of this board :-) We know that he was married before, but that's all I'm afraid. No birth information at all. The witnesses were the Landlord and Landlady of The Globe Inn at Alresford where 'Lizzie' appears with them in 1901 as a servant, they later took the pub over apparently.

Those census entries look very promising don't they? I'll have to make some enquiries amongst the oldest relatives down in Hampshire to see if they can remember anything. Surely they would remember that many children.......if he told them?
