Hi Pat

I had a look 1841 Census index for Coventry that was put out by Coventry Family History Society and only found one George Hunter who was 40years and a ribbon weaver and his wife Mary 35 years who was not born in Warwickshire. Their address was Oldbrookes.

Cheers Nardia

Hello Nadia,

Could you please give me the information on George and Mary HUNTER,
As these are my Gt Granparents and I have them in 1881 / 1891, but nothing before that.
Many thanks,
Pat

From the LDS 1851 transcript of Warwicks could this be the George HUNTER you were originally seeking:

Name Relationship Mar Age Sex Occupation Birthplace
Gorge HUNTER Head - 42 M Painter Coventry-War
Ann HUNTER Wife - 46 F Coventry-War
Henery HUNTER Son U 20 M Painter Coventry-War
Emma HUNTER Daur - 12 F S Winder Coventry-War
Gorge HUNTER Son - 10 M School Coventry-War

Address: Upper Well St, Coventry 400
Census Place: Coventry Holy Trinity Coventry 400, Warwickshire
PRO Reference: HO/107/2068 Folio: 85 Page: 24 FHL Film: 0087331

The following record looks like the George HUNTER that Nadia found in the 1841 census, but there is no George jnr:

Name Relationship Mar Age Sex Occupation Birthplace
George HUNTER Head M 50 M Ribbon Weaver Foleshill-War
Mary HUNTER Wife M 42 F Ribbon Weaver Foleshill-War
John HUNTER Fath W 84 M Ribbon Weaver Foleshill-War
David BENNETT Neph U 15 M Ribbon Weaver Foleshill-War

Census Place: Foleshill Foleshill, Warwickshire
PRO Reference: HO/107/2066 Folio: 342 Page: 32 FHL Film: 0087327

Hope this helps.

Hello Nardia

Please could you tell me if the index you have covers Rugby as well.
I have just found the George junior was born in Rugby in 1841.
So I think George and Mary must be a relation of some kind.
Any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Pat

Hello Janet,

Thankyou for your reply. And for the information, the line I have been researching is the first one, the family who are in Coventry in 1851.
I think in 1841 they where in Rugby as that is where George junior was born.
Do your discs cover Rugby as well as Coventry.
Many thanks.
Pat

Hello Pat,

The only HUNTERs on the 1851 census transcript with a connection to Rugby that I can find are the following two:

Mary HUNTER Head U 29 F Dress Maker Burslem-STF
Sarah HUNTER Sis U 24 F Dress Maker Swinford-LEC
John BROWN Neph - 8 M Rugby-WAR
James BROWN Neph - 4 M Rugby-WAR

Address: 7 North Street, Rugby
Census Place: Rugby Rugby, Warwickshire
PRO Reference: HO/107/2069 Folio: 310 Page: 5 FHL Film: 0087333

Unfortunately I do not have the 1841 census so cannot look for your George on that.

However, I did look on the historical directories online site and searched the 1842 Pigots of Warwickshire and there is a George HUNTER listed under the Plumbers, Painters and Glaziers section in Rugby, so it looks as though you might be correct in that your George could have been born in Rugby. You might be able to track George snr through these directories.

Good luck.

Janet.
