Help Please. My great granfdather, Robert Hunt, was born in 1866 at Halberton, near Tiverton. He was one of 4 children; Selina, Clara and Alfred. Their parents were Robert and Milford Hunt (nee Davey). Robert senior was a yeoman/dairyman and his father was William Hunt a yeoman.
I have had great success tracing the Davey line, but the Hunts are causing me some problems. Apparently Robert senior abandoned his family and went to Canada, although this has not been substantiated. The 4 children were split up and looked after by relatives in the area. I have traced all 4 children on the 1881 census, but only 3 on the 1901 (Selina can't be found).
I cannot find any reference to Milford in 1881.
