John's father Thomas was born on 3 May 1841 at Adeys Court, West Mills, Newbury. He married Ann Sandford on 27 July 1873 at St Michael, Enborne. I think they had 10 children but I have not researched them as they are very distant cousins of mine. Ann died 1919 & was buried 8 August 1919 at St Michael, Enborne. Thomas I think died March 1936 in Newbury.
In the 1921 census John is a widower lodging in Paddington & a fitter's mate. There is a death in Q3 1931 in Kensington of a John Gunter aged 45 which I suspect might be the correct death.
