Unusual names - Huh!

[kwr]

I, like Tina, thought an unusual name was a godsend but......

I have a marriage between Catherine Parry and Frederik Christian ?....Hanoeus/Humens/Hamaens/Hunsaus/Hunaeus/Hundus. These are some of the variations on his name I find over the period 1861-1881. He was born in Denmark incidentally.

Because of their first daughter Mary who was born in Charleston I had no difficulty finding the family up to and including 1881. The daughter I can still find in 1891 and 1901 when she is married and has children - so no trouble there.

However her father and mother! are either still alive today OR migrated (something my wife suggests I should check) OR have had the benefit of another imaginative? illiterate? enumerator who has baffled me completely.

I swear I have tried every conceivable derivation/variation/wild card method of establishing if they lived after 1881 and I've failed.

So....I am prepared to admit to an IQ of as much as one and a half and ask other members if they have suggestions as to what I should do next apart from throwing myself out of the window.

I post these to help save other people time.......

However her father and mother! are either still alive today

My money is on that option

Thanks Mary - on balance I've decided not to defenestrate either.

1891 bit messy this one

the family are all together in same house , but parents do not show on transcription search with Lydia..

separate search gives Catherine on her own, and Fred is listed on transcription with family next door, the Calp/Calf family

Simone -
only just logged on but goodness me was it worth it! I suspect that if you were on an hourly rate I'd owe you thousands. The number of variations on a name must be something of a record methinks. The 1891 return you are I think very charitable about. I feel like going back in time and making the enumerator give back the money he was paid.

Hilary - again it's humble pie time - you got them and I couldn't. So thank you both very VERY much. You realise if (or rather when) I'm in trouble again I'll be back to you? You shouldn't encourage me by succeeding.

Ken - much relieved and no longer furious with my own ancestors

Cheers Tina,

Ken.. we like a challenge on here
