    Notes 
    • The name of William's wife came from Stephen Hunsley. The marriage hasn't been found.

      1841 census: in Messingham, Lincs (all HUNSLEY), William (35, ag lab), Mary (25), Thomas (8), Sarah (6), George (3) and Alfred (1).

      At the Lincoln County Assizes on 7 March 1846 a William Hunsley, aged 39, got 12 months imprisonment for sheep stealing. Most probably this William.

      1851 census: in London, Messingham, Lincs (all HUNSLEY), William (45, farm labourer), Mary (36, born Great Limber, Lincs), Fergus (8, born Messingham), George (6, born Messingham), Alfred (4, born Messingham), Eliza (3, born Messingham) and Charles (6 months, born Messingham).

      At first glance, the 1841 and 1851 censuses above don't seem to make sense. The explanation is that of the children in the 1841 census:
      Thomas had left home - see his Notes
      Sarah - not clear what became of her but may have left home, see her Notes
      The first George (of 1838) and Alfred died in 1843.

      1861 census (indexed as HEMSLEY by Ancestry: in Stather Hill, Messingham, Lincs (all HUNSLEY), William (56, ag labourer), Mary (47, born Lounds, Lincs), Alfred (14, scholar, born Messingham), Eliza (13, scholar, born Messingham), Charles (10, scholar, born Messingham) and Edward [actually Edmund] (8, scholar, born Messingham).

      1871 census (indexed as HEMSLEY by Ancestry: in Butt Road, Messingham, Lincs (both HUNSLEY), William (65, farmer labourer) and Mary (58, born Limber, Lincs).

      1881 census (indexed as HUNSLOW by Ancestry: in Butterwick Road, Messingham, Lincs (both HUNSLEY), William (75, road labourer) and Mary (67, born Limber, Lincs).

      William died in 1887.

      1891 census: in Readhead's Yard, East Butterwick, Lincs, Mary HUNSLEY (78, born Limber, Lincs).
