Hi Hazel,

I don't know much about Annie except that she was a landlady of my boyfriend's grandparents, and gave them a very old photo album which contained quite a few old photographs of various people taken in Nottingham. I am not sure if they are her relatives. I have scanned in the photos, and they can be found here:

Hi , I don't know if this will reach you as it is a while since you posted this, but I am related to Annie Caunt (at least I have not yet been able to verify our Annie with Miss hemmings as yet. Do you have any other information about her? My maternal Grandfathers family are the Caunt side of my family (my mother, a Caunt, married a Winter so my maiden name is Winter) but Annie Caunt one of many children on my grandfathers family's side - my mother's father's side of the family. She is also known as Anne at times I have noticed. I have just tonight come across her as I only started researching this side of the family a few days ago. I myself was born in 1957, daughter of Cynthia Winter (Nee Caunt). My grandfather was Burley Francis Caunt of Nottingham, married to my grandmother, Dorothy May Whistance. Well enough for now..I was just so excited when I saw your photo..so now I will go and make sure of my information on Annie, and if you have anyhing further I would love to know!
best wishes, Hazel

I've got some old photos that were in a photo album that belonged to a Miss (or Mrs.?) Annie Caunt from Nottigham. She was in her 80s during 1950s, and lived with a Miss Hemmings. They rented out rooms to lodgers in/near Mapperley. In the attached photo, she is on the right, and wearing a black coat.

To all who have recently written me. I am on my home to New York State after the winter in Florida. I will respond more fully after I get home. Thanks so much for all your responses. I hasve many Williams in my family. My grandfather William was born in 1856 in Hucknall Torkard. He had a nephew William born in 1880. That William was the son of Frederick and Eliza Tomlinson.

I have a William Caunt born Nottinghamshire 1874 - am still looking into more detail in that time

Check my family tree

Re: Caunt family

kennethhaddon — 2009-04-06 07:10:50Z

The information I have so far is rather sketchy, but we do not seem to have a William who matches your information.

has anyone information on William Caunt , married to Elizabeth, son Samuel born 1811?

Re: Caunt Family - Burton Joyce area

smoliver157 — 2008-11-27 13:28:03Z

will send you an email - there is a "_" between the s and the m and the oliver in my email so it would read s_m_oliver

Re: Caunt Family - Burton Joyce area

DorothyPetersTainter — 2008-11-27 13:24:34Z

Dear SM Oliver. I just wrote to you under S M Oliver@hotmail.com and it was returned to me as undeliverable. In the letter I suggested that you might try Doug at this address exactly. Skegby@wanet.com au

no dots at the end or anything. It would be much easier if you would send me an e-mail at Wldblume2@aol.com

Re: Caunt Family - Burton Joyce area

smoliver157 — 2008-11-27 11:05:37Z

have been trying to contact doug but mail keeps coming back rejected!! So will reply on here

I have got to William Caunt and a Elizabeth through a man called Samuel Caunt who was born in 1811! By the looks of the dates of death on your information - it may not be the same couple! That is the problem with a lot of the information! My family tree should be at http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/pt/pedigree.aspx?tid=8540303

the tree is Oliver / Caunt / Wealthall

if you cannot access it let me know!

Re: Caunt Family - Burton Joyce area

smoliver157 — 2008-11-26 09:20:20Z

Will contact him. I can be contacted on s_m_oliver@hotmail.com

Re: Caunt Family - Burton Joyce area

DorothyPetersTainter — 2008-11-26 00:51:44Z

Not sure if you received my last message board reply.
I have heard from Doug Caunt in Australia and he suggested you contact him by e-mail as he was unable to contact you on this board. He has information on Elizabeth Clay and Samuel Caunt for you. His e-mail address is Skegby@wanet.com.au

He hasmuch information on the Caunts.

Re: Ben Caunt Knuckle Champ

DorothyPetersTainter — 2008-11-24 16:16:50Z

You probably do have relatives in Australia. Douglas Caunt who lives in Australia was just wonderfulin helping me trace my line, especially as it concerned Ben Caunt. The last known screen name I had for him was skegby@wanet.com.au
this was about three years ago. You could try e-mailing him. I believe he was fairly elderly when he wrote me, so whether this is a valid addy, I just don't know. Bqack in 2005He sent me quite a bit of information on the Caunt's at least back to Hanna Caunt who would have been Ben and William's granddmother. If you would like the rest of the info I have please send me your e-mail address. I am at Wldblume2@aol.com

Re: Ben Caunt Knuckle Champ

smoliver157 — 2008-11-24 16:02:50Z

Re: Caunt family in Wombwell

2006-11-28 23:00:40Z

Hello there, I would love to find out more about those people. It is ages and ages since I posted about them so it will take me a while to get my head around how they fit in but please get in touch as I had almost given up hope of finding out about these and their links with my family. I am in Doncaster. Are you in the South Yorkshire area still?

Regards Lynette

Re: Caunt family

2004-10-01 14:51:40Z

I am sorry, but none of the names you mention appear on my list.

Re: the unusual surname from England

2004-09-17 19:12:42Z

I am as far as the early 1800's on my Caunt family. First one I have is Samuel Caunt. The family was from Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, although they evidently were briefly in Tupton, Derbyshire. Any tie-in to your family?

Re: Caunt family

2004-09-17 19:05:45Z

My ancestors came from Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, St. Mary the Virgin ecclesiastical area. Samuel Caunt was the father and son Samuel. Children were Percy, Albert, Samuel O., Rhoda and Lily. Time starting about 1850.

Re: T.Caunt ring

2004-07-21 01:00:47Z

The ring is a woman's thumb ring. It belonged to on of my elder aunts who travelled Europe as a circus performer. It was told to me that she never went up on the highwire without this lucky ring. It is gold with a royal blue stone- lapis perhaps.

Re: Caunts in Wombwell & Jump-correction

2004-07-02 23:21:54Z

Sorry, I made a slip-up over Annie. Selina Caunt married a WEBSTER so her daughter Annie already had WEBSTER as her maiden name, not her married name.

Re: T.Caunt ring

2004-07-01 21:22:02Z

Just out of interest, is this ring likely to have been a man's ring, or a woman's ring, judging by size, design, etc?

Re: Caunts in Wombwell & Jump

2004-06-29 09:54:14Z

I think there must be some connection as the names seem very familiar.

My Thomas GAUNT had daughters Sarah, Selina, Judith, Lucy and son Arthur. Selina went on to have Annie who married and became a WEBSTER and Amy (b. 1910) who married and became RIMMER. Judith m. MANLEY. Lucy m. ROBERTS. Arthur m. Gleason.Sarah m. first ROBINSON and then HORNE.

Since they often named children after people in their family the link between Selina, Anne and Amy seems quite a strong possibility for a link to me. Also we know that there was an Elizabeth, a Catherine and a Kitty (possibly the same Catherine's pet name) but we don't know the relationship or where they came in the family, these are just family names my relative remembered being mentioned. Maybe Thomas was James's brother? I will call again on my relative (daughter of Sarah ) to see if she remembers any married names or middle names etc.

Thanks for such a quick reply.
Regards Lynette

Re: Caunt family in Wombwell

2004-06-28 23:40:02Z

None of those names ring bells. The Caunts that I am researching did live in Jump at one time or another. I am researching James Caunt, born in 1835 in Calverton, Nottinghamshire, England who married Selina Lester, born in 1836 in Calverton as well. They married in Calverton and then moved to the Wombwell area. Their children that I know about so far are Ann, Catherine, Sarah, David, John, Hannah, Eliza and Amy. I am having problems tracing them past 1901, but if I find any connections I'll let you know.

Re: Caunt family in Wombwell

2004-06-28 22:14:52Z

I'm researching Caunts and mine were near to Wombwell at Hoyland, Jump and Rawmarsh but I haven't found out where they came from before that. Thomas Gaunt married Mary Ann Hague and in 1887 had their fifth child Lucy (who was Christened 'Gaunt' unlike her siblings) at Rawmarsh. Subsequently they lived in the Hoyland and Jump areas and later in Highgate near Goldthorpe. Do any of these ring bells.

An Earnest (married to Nancy) moved to Wakefield, but that is all as far as I know.

Dorothy,I have only now seen your post of a year ago and wonder if you might have any knowledge of the following.
I have "lost" the following brothers after the UK 1881 Census ;
Joseph Caunt bn 1861,Lincolnshire.
Thomas Caunt bn 1868,Nottingham.
George Caunt bn 1869,Nottingham.
William Caunt bn 1873,Nottingham(After 1891 Uk Census).
If any of the above tie in with yours I would love to hear from you.Fairly sure they went to the USA.

What was your mums name? I have been following a very long line of Caunts as they are part of my line! Most of mine start out in Burton Joyce but end up in Carlton!

Re: Ben Caunt Knuckle Champ

smoliver157 — 2008-11-24 15:47:31Z

I have heard that I may be related to Ben Caunt. Am still tracing back along a Caunt line and have just reached the turn of the 1800's with William Caunt and Elizabeth Clay and their son Samuel.

If either of you have any information on these I would be very interested, especially as it is also family rumout that I have relatives in Australia!

in the US. Would love to compare notes and follow up on some of my lines.

Caunt Descendents in the US

DorothyPetersTainter — 2007-09-10 14:24:51Z

My Grandmother was Emma Caunt Peters born in Hucknall Torkard, Nottinghamshire. She came to the U.S. in the mid 1800's with her husband and I believe two of her children.
They settled in the Utica-Vernon area of NY State.

I have been inquiring into the Boxing Hall of Fame about having 'Big Ben' one of our favorite ancestors included. The International Boxing Hall of Fame is in Canastota, NY, 13032. Would be nice if others of the family lobbied for his inclusion also.
After all Bendigo Thompson, Jem Ward and Nat Langham are included and I believe Jem Ward was related to Ben.
Hope to hear from some relatives.

Re: Ben Caunt Knuckle Champ

DorothyPetersTainter — 2008-07-21 15:21:23Z

Kerry, Sorry I haven't gotten in touch with you earlier re the Caunt family. What information I have has been researched by Doug Caunt who is in Australia. It seems that
Benjamin Caunt the boxer was my Grandmother Emma Caunt Peters' Uncle. That I believe would make Ben and my ggrandfather brothers. Their father was Robert Caunt, b.1779, who was the base born child of Hannah Caunt and Samuel Butler.
This seems to be verified by the fact that Samuel paid for support of Robert ordered by the Court. Hannah was born in Hucknall Torkard, Nottinghamshire on 6 Apr 1759. She married Richard Blackner/Blakener in 1790 and had another child, named Richard. If you would like further information you can contact me off line a Wldblume2@aol.com

Ben Caunt Knuckle Champ

DorothyPetersTainter — 2006-04-21 02:50:08Z

I live quite close to the International Boxing Hall of Fame and really think the Caunt family should politic for inclusion of Ben in the Hall of Fame, under the category of Pioneers. http://www.ibhof.com/ibhfrost.htm
is the e-mail address. They have a file on him and I would like to see him included in next years class.
I am the granddaughter of Emma Caunt Peters b 1855, Hucknall Torkard. There are many descendents in the Central NY Area. Would like to exchange info with anyone interested.

I have fresh information regarding Rose Ellen Caunt my Great Great Grandmother.Her father was called John Caunt who was a carpenter according to her marriage certificate.I have still NOT connected any of these to Big Ben Caunt as yet.In the article you wrote about Ben you mentioned a Jeremiah Caunt.The thing I can't work out is who his father was.The only Jeremiah I can find was born in Skegby and his father was William.Big Ben did infact have a brother called William but another Caunt source is pretty sure he never married.Also I was wondering if Jeremiah had a brother called John who could be the connection to Ben I have been looking for.I really want to put this to bed once and for all so I can move on.

Hi Dorothy

I have just started researching my family history and have discovered a Caunt connection but am not sure if there is any relation to Ben Caunt. My Great Great Grand mother was Sarah Caunt d of John & Hannah Caunt. So far I haven't worked out if there is a connection but my father has been told there is. Not sure if you can provide any information for me but what you are doing in regards to getting Ben's name in the hall of fame sounds interesting.

Look forward to hearing from you.
