Desperately seeking a marriage between a Charles Hunt and a Harriett Taylor. Have looked on GRO to no avail. Details on 1901 and 1911 census's are somewhat contradictory, as far as birthplaces are concerned.
In 1901, they are listed as follows (with children):-
Chas Hunt age 36 born in Birmingham
Harriet Hunt age 40 born in Worcester
Alice Hunt age 4 born in Worcester
Ellen Hunt age 3 born in Worcester
Rose (Harriet) Hunt age 7 months born in Birmingham
Living at House 4 Court 27 Irving Street, Birmingham
I have birth certificates for all 3 children and the birth places are correct: Alice was born Dec 1896, Ellen was born Feb 1898 and Rose was born Sept 1900 (she died Oct 1901)
1n 1911 they are as follows:
Charles Hunt age 46 born in DROITWICH
Harriet Hunt age 49 born in DUDLEY
Alice Hunt age 14 born in Worcester
Ellen Hunt age 13 born in Worcester
Harry Hunt age 4 born in Birmingham
Living at 4 Back 55 Weaman St, Birmingham
Harry Hunt was actually called William Henry and was born in Price St in June 1906.
All I know about my gt grandparents (Ellen was my paternal grandmother) is their deaths. Harriett died in November 1919 aged 58. Charles died in Jan 1942 aged 77. Harriett spelled her name with two T's at the end (her complete signature appears on Alice's birth certificate, all subsequent signatures are H Hunt) though it was often spelt with just the one. Charles Hunt was a bricky by trade but is listed as a caretaker on the 1911. My oldest uncle claims he was caretaker at the school in Bath Street.
The 1911 claims that they had completed 17 years of marriage which therefore suggests that they wed around 1893/94 and presumably in the West Midlands area. There is no one alive that remembers them so I'm stuck there. I've recently got printouts for the GRO marriages and nothing tallys up. I just wonder if they never married at all. Harriett is listed as being "formerly Taylor" on all birth certificates.
