Re: Hunt
In Response To: Hunt ()

Liz (Forsyth)
With ref to the bulletins above I initially thought you had not progressed very far since 2006 but now, with help, you seem to have gone full circle.

Initially the postings/replies came from Canada and England ( which I read at the time) and more lately from as far a field as New Zealand, Australia and at least three parts of England

Therefore part of what I write may overlap and confirm!
Nb. I knew about John James Hunt from earlier research.

As my interest lies with the surname “CORLETT” I cannot help you with Thos Hunt
(The term “Engineer” has always been loosely used) any more than Brian did, and I do not know how you got from yourself to this particular one of many Catherine Corletts born around that time both on the Isle of Man and the English mainland and I do not know how many porkies she told.
I hope you have not relied on the internet resources!

Weather permitting it has always been a few hours sailing from The Isle of Man to places such as Liverpool
It is also often overlooked that in recent centuries there have been just as many births, marriages and deaths with manx surnames on the English mainland, particularly in Liverpool and surrounding areas.

Attached is something from our old files on Corlett.

Douglas is a mixed bag and the museum is not what it was but the North of the Isle of Man on a sunny summers day is second to none.

I wish you a safe and fruitful journey
Peter.

PS.
Should you wish to go:-
I can tell you that Smithdown Road was a dingy main road with a mixture of Victorian/Edwardian three storey terraced houses including cellars and individual small shops/businesses. All in the Edge Hill district of Liverpool.
It was part of the inner circle 26/27 tram and bus route which terminated at the (untouched by German bombs)
Victoria Monument near the Pier Head and the Cavern.
This inner ring road also passed the Liverpool Spion Kop in Anfield.

Please note that as our original files were transferred to an old computer in the 1990s the layout is not perfect
