1877 Hannah Pedley Sunter Birth

Originally uploaded by timsunter

Hannah Pedley Sunter was born to Joseph and Isabella Sunter in 1877 in Bishop Auckland.
I ordered this certificate to find out where the Sunter’s were living in Bishop Auckland and to further investigate what the relationship was to Jane Ann Snowball and the Hulls. There had been a suggestion that the Hull family set up Joseph as a furniture salesman in return for taking Jane off their hands.
Isabella died early in 1883. Joseph remarried to Jane Ann Snowball later that year. This certificate shows that before the marriage Joseph was working as a ‘Grocer’s Warehousman’ and living in Edward Street, Bishop Auckland.

Charles Snowball’s birth certificate arrived today.   As per the tradition the father’s name column is left blank (it makes my blood boil how it all falls onto the woman), but the name is definitely Charles Hull as opposed the Charles Hall.  The finger of suspicion reverts back to the Hull household where Jane Ann Snowball, Charles’ mother, was working as a servant in 1881.
