hunt family
replied on: 10/19/2005 9:42:20 AM

I have checked my research. The one I need is the one in the 1861 census living at 70 Aldercar Lane Heanor Nathaniel Hunt born about 1822 Langley wife Dorothy b about 1823 and children Thomas D (9) Henry (7) Dorothy D (5) and Ebenezer (3)

In 1871 Nathaniel is living at The Brambles Shipley (200 acres 2 labourers) with wife Dorothy and children Thomas Dunn (transcribed as Ann) born about 1852, Henry b abt 1854, Dorothy Dunn (transcribed as Anne) b abt 1856, Ebenezer babt 1858, Isaac b abt 1860, Samuel Fox born about 1865 and Nathaniel born about 1869
There is one servant William Forks aged 19

In 1881 Nathaniel is living at Oldgraves Farm with wife Dorothy and sons Ebenezer, Nathaniel and Samuel Fox

In 1881 Thomas D is living on Breach Road with his wife and 5 kids but has died by 1891 as his widow still holds the farm with her brother as Farm Manager.

in 1891 Ebenezer has a farm in Chaddesden - Fields Farm
Isaac has his own farm in Chaddesden - Meadow Farm

Samuel Fox has his own farm in Shipley with 6 servants this is Owlgraves Farm. His brother Nathaniel aged 21 is living with him.

The other Nathaniel Hunt born about 1821/2 Heanor based in Chaddesden may be a cousin as the Hunt surname is in his children's names too. He has his daughter Dorothy Dunn Allen and son in law Thomas Allen with him as well as a visitor Annie Allen presumably Thomas's younger sister. This gets confusing here because this is Meadows Farm Chaddesden which is what Isaac son of Nathaniel has in 1891!!!

I will need to check into this. I wonder if Nathaniel had two farms and was double counted? Any ideas anyone?
