Hello List I am still looking for my elusive ancestor Ann Maria Hunt. Her baptism shows that she was born illegitimately to Sarah Hunt in 1824 at Sibford Gower. In 1848 she was in Banbury Workhouse where she gave birth to an illegitimate son (I have researched his life from start to finish with no mention of his mother). In the census I have found a couple of possibles in 1841 and in 1851 she is a Cook working for the surgeon/GP Mr Grimbly in High Street, Banbury. She then disappears without trace. With Ann Hunt being such a common name and Banbury being on the border of three different counties there are numerous marriage and death entries in the GRO index. Even if I did locate a possible marriage certificate I would not be able to confirm it was correct as I don't know who her father was. I have looked at the 1861 census for any Anns born in Sibford and the ones I have come across I have cross referenced in other census years confirming that none of them are her. I have been looking for her on and off for some ten years now and wonder if a fresh eye might possibly come across something I have missed. Kind regards Karen Hunt (Warwick UK)

Karen I have an interest in the HUNT family as one of my ancestors married an Alis or Alice HUNT on 12 October 1705 (Quaker Marriage) possibly at Radway in Warwickshire, my ancestor was a John JUDD baptised 2 March 1675 at Harbury. Whilst these details don't directly assist with your enquiry it might be worth your while expanding the area of your search as the HUNT family appear in several locations including Radway, and possible connections to not only Stratford on Avon but Foleshill in Coventry. Have you seen "A History of Radway" as this might help as well.
