Hello Listers, I am new to the List and I live in New Zealand outside Wellington. My husbands GGrandfather Henry HUNT was born in Tipperary about 1849 according to the Dublin Census of 1911. His father and his grandfather were also Henry HUNT, we think! In 1873 he married Elizabeth BELTON (Born Queens Co 1855) in Dublin. They were Church of Ireland. He was a Barrister at Law in Dublin. His address in 1911 was 11, Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin city. He died in 1918. Last address of "The Dublin Hunts" we know of is "Shrewsbury Road" (Dublin) I am trying to find out where in Tipperary he was born and would be most grateful if somebody can help me in my search. Kind regards Inga.
Inga, A quick look through my Hunt family records has produced 15 Henry Hunts, the majority born somewhere in either Tipperary or Limerick. They are a nightmare family to try and sort out as they all seem to have spent their lives inter-marrying and breeding. I am sending your mail on to a Hunt researcher in Australia who may be able to help Peter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ibsjackson" <ibsjackson@xtra.co.nz> To: <IRL-TIPPERARY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 9:36 PM Subject: [TIP] Henry HUNT / Elizabeth BELTON > Hello Listers, > I am new to the List and I live in New Zealand outside Wellington. > My husbands GGrandfather Henry HUNT was born in Tipperary about 1849 > according to the Dublin Census of 1911. > His father and his grandfather were also Henry HUNT, we think! > In 1873 he married Elizabeth BELTON (Born Queens Co 1855) in Dublin.

Thank you Peter for your information and for passing on my message to Australia. One of Henry Hunt's grandsons Cecil Henry Hunt, went to Australia in 1924. A son of Cecil Hunt, Trevor Hunt and a granddaughtet Marcia Miller are also trying to track their ancestor down, but so far without luck. Do you by any chance have 3 Henry Hunts in succession among the 15 Hunts? I found a Griffith Val. (1851) from Toem civil Parish, Town of Cappagwhite, Kilnamanagh Barony, listing: Henry Hunt senior & Henry Hunt Junior renting property from De Vere Hunt. It sounded promising specially as they are possibly related to De Vere Hunt! Unfortunately the records from Cappagwhite Town were destroyed. Having looked at LDS's records there seems to be several De Vere Hunts. One, who went to Canada with all his children and another, who stayed in Ireland. Is this correct? Another small Clue is that "our" Henry Hunt named his 3rd son William Fitzmaurice Hunt.( Fitzmaurice a name associated with the Hunts) According to family lore our Hunts were Huguenots having fled France after the Massacre in 1572. With Kind regards Inga. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter" <paircfada@eircom.net> To: <IRL-TIPPERARY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2006 10:55 AM Subject: Re: [TIP] Henry HUNT / Elizabeth BELTON Inga, A quick look through my Hunt family records has produced 15 Henry Hunts, the majority born somewhere in either Tipperary or Limerick.
