Erica, the additional records are definitely ‘my’ Emma Jane Hunt nee Hodgkiss.
The sticking point is whether she was the one who married James Edmund Jacob. Her father’s occupation doesn’t feel ‘right’ ie foreman....of what?

I'm not convinced that Frederick Hunt is a 'foreman' on the daughter's marriage cert.

It could possibly be 'freeman'

Been out today - Freeman.. of what? It's not something I've seen before. Even if he was unemployed, wouldn't they have given a previous occupation?

Update - message from contact

(They have had) a DNA match (2nd cousin 1x removed) through both Frederick Hunt and Amelia Jane Hodgkiss, almost certainly Emma Jane Hunt's parents....

They are trying to work out if its via 'my' Emma Jane's sister, Amelia Emma or a yet undiscovered sibling.
