• Notes

  William Hunter was born in Ireland, probably in Belfast, Antrim. He married in 1864 in Belfast, Antrim, Ireland to Mary Harten and their first known child was born in Belfastin 1866. Their second known child was born in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland in 1868 suggesting that William and his wife and infant daughter immigrated to Scotland in 1867. As William's parents have not been found in any Scottish census records it seems likely that they remained in Ireland. William's reasons for immigrating from Belfast to Glasgow are unknown, but given the economic climate of that day it is likely that he was seeking better employment opportunities. Ireland GRO gives date of marriage as 10 MAR 1864. Margaret Harton Hunter's birth record shows her parents marriage date as 10 MAR 1863. No death record has been found for William Hunter in Scotland. He may have returned to Ireland. At that time of William's marriage to Margaret, he was a serving soldier with the 37th Foot. There is a record of him returning from India in 1861. He was officially discharged from the Army in 1874.
