Biography

Harriet (Augur) Hunt was born in Berkshire, England.

Harriet Augur was born in 1845 in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England to John Augur (or Auger) and Caroline Augur (nee Nott). Her birth was registered in the September quarter of that year in the district of Cookham^[1].

Harriet's mother died in 1850. Her father remarried in 1851 to Henrietta Grove.

On the 30th of March 1851, Harriet was residing at Folly Hill in Cookham with her father, step-mother, and her four living siblings, John, Eliza, Caroline, and Albert^[2]. Her father, John, was recorded as a 'shoemaker employing 14 men'^[2]. Also living in the household were four lodgers, all shoemaker journeymen, and John's apprentice, John Eagle^[2]. Harriet was 5 years old and attending school^[2].

On the 7th of April 1861, Harriet was a visitor in the household of some of her mother's family, the Notts, at Block Lane in Bray, Berkshire^[3].

On the 2nd of April 1871, Harriet and her brother, John, were living as lodgers in the household of one Peter Wood, seedsman, at 3a Savoy Street in the Precinct of the Savoy, (London, Middlesex), England^[4]. Both of them were recorded as unemployed^[4].

Harriet married George Rudolph Hunt in 1872, and their marriage was registered in the 3rd quarter of that year in the district of Marylebone^[5]. They had two children together:

• Rudolph Arthur Hunt, born on the 26th of October 1875 in Richmond, Surrey, England^[6][7].
• Ethel Frances Hunt, born on the 30th of September 1877 in Petersham, Surrey, England^[8][9].

On the 3rd of April 1881, Harriet lived at the Star and Garter Hotel at Richmond Hill in Petersham with her husband, George, her stepchildren, Ellen, Walter, and Sidney, and her two children, Rudolph and Ethel^[10]. Harriet's husband was the hotel secretary, whilst Harriet was the hotel housekeeper^[10]. There were multiple servants in the household who were workers at the hotel^[10].

On the 5th of April 1891, Harriet resided with her daughter, Ethel, as visitors in the household of one Elizabeth Hoyle at 343 Blackburn Road, Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, England^[11].

Harriet died at the age of about 48 (though it was recorded as 41), and her death was registered in the 4th quarter of 1893 in the district of Blackburn^[12].

Research Notes

1851 Census on FamilySearch:
There is a transcription error on FamilySearch with the 1851 Census for this family. John Auger and his daughter, Harriet, appear on one record on FamilySearch, and the rest of the family plus John's lodgers and apprentice appear on another. One of John's lodgers, James West, is set as the head of the household in the second case, which is not correct. Original image on FindMyPast confirms they all appear together on the census and are part of the same household. (Evans-33937 06:46, 31 December 2023 (UTC))
