Loudam,the Irish 1911 gives Robert Hunt as age 40,retired Army Officer on the image.So not the the deserter you found.
This family were of some standing and not poor by any means.

The prison record was for a George Hunt. Think he's the wrong age to be Robert's brother and wasn't George in South Africa at that time?

It is very interesting to us all- hence the speculation. With the absence of wills and maybe land records,it is difficult to ascertain whether this branch of the family retained their money.
There seems to have been a move to Clare. The twins were born there and Priscilla died there.
If I recall the Bradys were from Clare.
I read that Elenor Fitgerald Gloster died at the Kilkee address. Perhaps a family connection.
I think more could be discovered perhaps with the twins birth certificates- the last known address and then investigate that death for Robert.

mellowmum

Have you seen the photo on Ancestry of Robert & Aileen with William and Mary Hunt??

I also wonder given the time and that Aileen was English would this have been a reason for all the unheaval...

mellowmum doesn't state when George and Robert came to South Africa in that post, in 1911 Robert was still living in Cork so it must have been after 1911 that he went.....

photo originally came from "a living cousin in Devon" so if it wasn't mellowmum that originally submitted it this would perhaps be another relative to contact for more details.
