Hi Cathayb, I don't know if there members of our family, it's just that there all born in the same area as my lot. My Mother always say's were all part of the Hunter Clan. My Aunty Helen Hunter she got married in 1946 on the marriage register it says Helen Ford Hunter my Grandad was a widower when he married my Grandma, and on one of my cousin's birth in the registry it say's her Mother's maiden name is Helen Ford Hunter. I was wondering if my Aunty was to Harry Hunter's first wife. Paul.
