I have Elizabeth Huntscutt / Huntscott marrying John Stanley ( 4 x great grandparents) in Solihull, Warwickshire on 10 Oct 1795. Witnesses: Joseph Huntscutt and Phoebe Stanley.

Huntscutt a very unusual name and I can't find many instances of it.

I have found a marriage in Hatton, Warwickshire of a Joseph Huntscoat to Elizabeth Stanley on 25 May 1795.
Joseph is of the parish of Wootton Wawen and Elizabeth of Hatton.
Witnesses are John Stanley of Wootton Wawen and Elizabeth Huntscutt.

I have found Elizabeth Huntscutt's baptism in Solihull on 1 May 1763 parents William and Elizabeth. I can't find a baptism for Joseph.

Is it safe to assume that Joseph was Elizabeth's brother given that the name seems to be so rare?

Were all the marrying parties single?

Joseph was a bachelor. I can't see that it says for Elizabeth Stanley.

I've just found a burial on the NBI of an Elizabeth Huntscote on 4 Nov 1832 at Wootten Wawen aged 60 (birth c 1772). I have a sister Elizabeth for John Stanley born 1772.

I've found a possible baptism for Joseph HUNSCOT with parents John and Elizabeth

Elizabeth who married John Stanley had parents William and Elizabeth. Perhaps Joseph and Elizabeth were cousins. I think I'll carry on looking another day.
