Hello all,

Any help that i can be given would be great as i have hit a wall with my searching.

I am looking for the parents of
Mary Harriet Hunt born 27 may 1886 who married William George Burton in APril -June 1907 in Winchester.
I think Mary's Dad is Joseph Hunt but i have no more than this
Any help would be great?

Many thanks
Alison

I cannot find them in 1881 to see if Clara was married to a Joseph though, perhaps they were still in Ireland

When you say you think that Mary's father was Joseph - where did that information come from, do you have any certificates for her death or marriage?
