John BROOKER & Susanna HUNT were married on 18.10.1812 at St Martin in the Fields. He was 31, she was 27. She could sign her name, he made his mark. They lived near the Allsop's in Charles Place, Kensington. They had 7 children of whom only 3 (or 4) survived John *26.9.1813 Charles Place 8.4.1841 10 Gardeners Buildings Kens We assume Mary Ann survived because there is no burial record at St.Mary
Abbot, but we know nothing of her. John (senior) was variously described
as coalporter, servant, waiter, civil servant and died in 1834 aged 53.
John married a Charlotte Simmonds in 1837 (see below). This left Susanna,
Caroline and Henry (and possibly Mary Ann) living at Charles Place. Henry
became a cooper, being apprenticed to Edmund Peell at 12 Marchmont St
(nr. Brunswick Sq.) in 1841. In 1846 he married Emma Hunt at St.Margaret,
Westminster. The 1851 census shows Susanna (66, Widow, Sempstress) and
Caroline (30, unmarried) living at 10 Charles Street. In 1857 Caroline
married a Malcolm MacPherson (printer). Susanna died in 1868 (buried 3.2.1868
Brompton Cemetery). |
