Thanks Jo

I think I've added everything else on bcc, apart from Johns Dod, that I can't find.

I've also double checked with census and It looks like 2 sons same name William Hunt

Unless like you say i couldn't see a birth for William either ?
Or Perhaps born out of wedlock
Or unless an error from the enumerator?

That is the birth I thought too.
On the census it looks like 6 but could possibly be 16? :?
