Hello Mary, The George HUNT who was born c1815 in Harpenden appears to have lived in Luton, Beds according to the census records, see below: 1851 census of Luton HO107/1757, folio 667, pages 26/27 Hitchin Road George HUNT Head Mar 35 Bricklayer not Ma Herts Harpenden Sarah do Wife Mar 35 Straw Bonnet Sewer Beds Luton Mary Ann do Daur 13 do do do George do Son 2 1/2 yrs do do 1861 census of Luton RG9/1014, folio 133, page 35 45 Brunswick St George HUNT Lodger Widwr 45 Bricklayer Herts Harpenden He is living in the household of Thomas COX, 40, Carter. Can't find him in the 1871 census but there is a death registration in the June qtr 1864 at Luton reg district for a George HUNT which could be relevant - so on balance of probability I do not think this George is yours. The George HUNT who was born c1815 Hitchin is in the census records below: 1881 census of Back Street Hitchin (you can look this up for yourself) 1871 census of Hitchin RG10/1368, folio 61, page 19 Back Street George HUNT Head Mar 57 Gardener Herts Hitchin Mary do Wife Mar 59 Straw Plater do do George do Son Un 19 Bricklayer's Lab do do Harry do Son Un 20 do do do Arthur do Son 14 Scholar do do + 4 Lodgers 1861 census of Hitchin RG9/818, folio 91, pages 15/16 Chapmans Yard George HUNT Head Mar 47 Ag Lab Herts Hitchin Mary do Wife Mar 49 do Wife do do Alfred do Son Un 18 Ag Lab do do Selina do Daur Un 12 Scholar do do Harry do Son 10 do do do Arthur do Son 5 do do do 1851 census of Hitchin HO107/1710, folio 59, page 4 Portmill Lane George HUNT Head Mar 35 Coal Dealer Herts Hitchin Mary do Wife Mar 39 do do Emma do Daur Un 17 Straw Plaiter do do George do Son Un 16 Ag Lab do do William do Son Un 14 do do do Alfred do Son 9 Scholar do do Selina do Daur 2 do do Henry do Son 1 month do do 1841 census of Hitchin HO107/445/1, folio 30, page 15 Mill Yard George HUNT 25 Labr Mary do 30 Emma do 7 George do 6 William do 4 All born in the county. I think you may have got your George HUNTs mixed up here. If the George HUNT who died in Hitchin in 1886 is your George (presumably you have corroborated this with birth/marriage/death certificates), then he can't be the George who is living in Luton and born c1815 in Harpenden with parents William & Mary. There are 2 extracted baptisms in Hitchin on the IGI which could be your George, 9 September 1818 parents Edward & Hannah and 7 May 1821 (probably a bit too late) parents Thomas & Martha. According to HALS Herts Direct Online Index, there is a marriage on 6 October 1833 at Hitchin St Mary of a George HUNT and a Mary GOODSHIP which looks a likely candidate. Unfortunately, Hertfordshire is not particularly well served with parish register transcriptions available to purchase online, so your best bet to trace back George's parentage would be to hire the parish register film for Hitchin St Mary from your nearest LDS Family History Centre to view in situ and try to trace your George backwards from the baptisms of his children. Witnesses on his marriage record may help you to trace who are his parents.
