Scotland / Re: Deportation from Scotland
« on: Friday 22 October 21 13:07 BST (UK) »
I’m fascinated to read this thread. I’m married to David Hunter whose dad was George Hunter (1936-2002) whose dad was Robert Hunter/Jozef Linka. George had 2 siblings - Robert (1924-?) and Mary (known as May 1931-2020). I’m guessing they are the children from his 2nd marriage as they were from Leith. The Henderson Street address mentioned was also his workshop I believe.
My husband knew of a family story that Robert had been married before but it was thought he’d left his family in Lithuania. The newspaper article about the court case clears things up a bit.
I’d be really interested to hear if there are any other certificates or photographs of Jozef/Robert. I have a photograph of him with his 2nd wife (my husband’s nana) which I will try to post. My husband was born in 1972 and has memories of nana but sadly missed out on any time with his grandad who you’ve said passed in 1973.
