The image of 1851 census written is ---See Page 1.against the Thomas name.,,,

Ann Smith is a witness to the 1845 marriahe,not Ann Brush.

No address is given for Catharine on the marriage,,,,,which was after 3 sundays of Banns,,,,,,,her age is given as,,,,,,Under.------ George is Full..

Yes, I'd come to that conclusion, too.

In which case, we don't know how many other mistakes he made.

If Catherine's surname should be Stevens in 1851, was George not with her and Richard - or did the enumerator just miss him out by mistake?

Her supposed middle initial S is probably also a mistake.


ADDED:

George was with his parents in 1851:

I think the Hunts are a complete red herring. I would suggest that the enumerator made a mess of copying to the record sheets

Oops......missed that one. Thanks, AG

Which leads me to

STEPHENS, RICHARD RUSH

STEPHENS, JOSEPH WILLIAM mmn BRUSH
GRO Reference: 1851 J Quarter in SAINT LUKE, MIDDLESEX Volume 02 Page 268

FMP's 1851, which is a somewhat more accurate transcription than Ancestry's shambles


Golden Lane, Saint Lukes, St Luke, London & Middlesex, England
Richard Hunt Head Married Male 56 1795 Labourer in iron foundry East Grinstead, Sussex, England
Mary Hunt Wife Married Female 54 1797 Labourer wife Galway, Ireland
Catharine S Hunt Daughter Married Female 24 1827 Shoe binder Gibraltar
Richard Stevens Grand son - Male 2 1849 Home St Luke's, Middlesex, England

There is no birth for Richard Stevens on the GRO with either MMN Brush OR Hunt

Ditto Joseph who is on 1861 census


What was her address when she married?

Thank you all for your interest

, have the census for Catherine all say Gibraltar apart from one, also birth cert for George Stevens born 1855 mother Catherine Stevens nee Brush, also marriage cert to George Stevens.
can not find a birth Richard Stevens born St Lukes 1849

Have looked up other Catherine Brush's but ruled them out, try as I might can not find a link to Richard and Mary Hunt

Note spelling of forename, which is NOT as per OP

From Ancestry -
this is the 1851 record Annabel mentions - but this is clearly not the same woman who married George Stevens.

Catherine S Hunt

The Thomases have been scored out on the image, with "NIL" written across them.
In any case, they were just one of several households at the same address - 104 Golden Lane.

Catherine and Richard are actually part of this household:

Richard Hunt

Even forgetting the Thomases, it doesn't make sense.
If that Catherine is the daughter of Richard and Mary, then she can't be married - unless the enumerator got mixed up with the surnames.

Where do you get she was born Gibraltar?

Get the cert for it’s details

Why would Catherine be Hunt on the 1851 census ?

Trying to trace the parents of Catherine Brush born 1827 Gibraltar, married George Stevens 1845.her father Samuel Brush a witness Ann Brush

In the 1851 Catherine married surname Hunt a daughter her son Richard Stevens grandson , the census page is all mixed , there is a Richard Hunt with his wife Mary.

Have being trying to sort it out for a few years but getting nowhere , a fresh pair of eyes thankyou. Ann
