When was the last British census you have for John Hunt?
There’s a man of the right age arriving NSW in Nov 1882, looks like crew member and described as a “trimmer”

John came to New Zealand with the family abt 1878 I have all the rest of family except for John.
Hence Iam interested in the Death of John in Granville as his parents are William and Sarah and the age is right.
I have searched England and New Zealand and can not find a match for him around that age.
I can remember my father saying a cousin had died in Australia it could have been a decendant of John.

His death cert. should give some information up that might help to confirm if he is your fella, tho of course that will depend on how much the informant of death knew about him. A lot of money to fork out if his not your John.

Thank you,
I have never been able to get the cert to be certain.
