Who Do You Think You Are - Olivia Colman 9th Jul

[Olde Crone]

I wonder if she was Seraphina Don Cler who married a Mr Hunter? When he died/ went away, she reverted to her maiden name. Charlotte would therefore be a child of the marriage.

Added to say - Kate's post #40 mentions 3 Hunter children on board with Harriot. Could they be Charlotte's siblings or half siblings if Charlotte was a child of a Don Cler/ Hunter marriage?

Can't remember when Charlotte was born and just putting this here as her mothers name is HarriEt. ??

Could she be the Charlotte Slessor mentioned in Harriet Elizabeth's will perhaps she was a lot older and Hunter is her married name!!

No that does not makes sense she would have named her Hunter not Slessor.

Isn't that because her will wasn't proved and the grant was administration with the will annexed?

[kiterunner]

The Charlotte Hunter in the will would have to have been born before 1810, and presumably before Harriot though I suppose we aren't certain about that.

There is a passenger list here - a Mrs Crommelin and a Mrs Hunter were also on board

Oh, well done Crawfie!

I found baptisms for some of those Hunter children with parents Oswald and Jessie or Janet. And Jacob's middle name was Dickson, so they may be related to Miss Isabella Dickson on that passenger list.

There is a Charlotte Hunter, spinster, Indo Briton, who married John Guest, Wesleyan Missionary, 25 Feb 1835 at Bangalore. I haven't found any more on them yet.

Jessie and Janet will probably be the same woman, she is probably Scottish, Janet = Jessie in Scotland.

By the way I think Doncler is a Dutch name.
