Mary died in 1979 in Sligo.</p> <blockquote><p>We are assuming Mary above was the wife of our Eugene Hunt as an obituary was located in the online archives of The Leitrim Observer for a Mrs. Mary Teresa Hunt of Coraughrim, wife of the late Eugene Hunt. Because I am not entirely sure that Mary was indeed the wife of our Eugene I have added the caution. As the names of the children of Mary and her husband - and the names of Mary's siblings - have been taken from the obituary I have attached cautions to their names also.</p> </blockquote> </td> </tr></table><p>They had the following children. </p> <blockquote><table border="0" cellspacing="7"> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>53</td> <td valign=top>M</td> <td valign=top align=right>i</td> <td><b><a name="8953"></a>Albert HUNT</b>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>54</td> <td valign=top>F</td> <td valign=top align=right>ii</td> <td><b><a name="8954"></a>Connie HUNT</b>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td>Connie married <b><a name="8955"></a>Joseph (Joe) CLARKE</b>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>55</td> <td valign=top>M</td> <td valign=top align=right>iii</td> <td><b><a name="8956"></a>George HUNT</b>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>56</td> <td valign=top>F</td> <td valign=top align=right>iv</td> <td><b><a name="8957"></a>Laura HUNT</b>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td>Laura married <b><a name="8958"></a>Francis BOHAN</b>.</td> </tr> </table> </blockquote> <p align=center> <a href="morx.htm#TOC"><img src="images/home.jpg" border=0 ALT="Home"></a> <a href="morg01.htm"><img src="images/start.jpg" border=0 ALT="First"></a> <a href="morg02.htm"><img src="images/prev.jpg" border=0 ALT="Previous"></a> <a href="morg04.htm"><img src="images/next.jpg" border=0 ALT="Next"></a> <a href="morg12.htm"><img src="images/end.jpg" border=0 ALT="Last"></a> </p> <p align=center><a href="morx2.htm">Surname List</a> | <a href="morx31.htm">Name Index</a> </p> </body> </html>
