Hi, There is a marriage on Free BMD of a William Hunt at Southampton Oct-Dec 1858. One of the possible spouses is Ellen Hannah Thorn. (ref 2c 57). Also on Free BMD is the birth certificate of Albert Stoneham at Portsea Apr-Jun 1861 (ref 2b 424) 'should' give you his mother's maiden name. Best wishes, Jon Click here to meet my 3 Guide Dogs

Hi again, On Free BMD there's a marriage at Alverstoke Jul-Sept 1846 (ref vol. 7 page 500) of a John Isaac Stoneham. Also in the same quarter indexed as being on page "50a" rather than 500, is a Lavinia Viner. 1846 would certainly tie in well with the ages of the children in the 1861 census, and the problems the transcribers appear to be having with the page numbers certainly gives me the impression this could well be your couple. HTH, Jon
