I thin k the following maybe of use for you
There is a civil birth record in Bailieborough 1868 V7 P459 that is most probably him
From the Wills abstract I assume his father is also John, who died May 30 1896
Therefore possible
DoB April 20th 1868; Father: John HUNTER and Mother: Martha NELSONIf this is the correct birth John and Martha married on March 26th 1857 in Killinkere
There are two further children on line Teressa Francis b. May 14 1874 (died 1875)
and Martha b. Aug 18 1870; however I would presume there to be more as was the norm at that time
Probably 1901 census for Martha HUNTERwith no results in 1911 possibly she may have died before 1911
1901 Census showing J. E. H. as aged 30, from Cavan and not married
(I would be inclined to this Tipperary return as his religion is shown as Brethern
this differs from glensman's suggestion of a Cork address above)
1911 Census Return showing J. E. H. as aged 42, from Cavan and single
As head of the Constabulary
he signed the form which gives his full name!
Court records show him in
Ballybofey Co. Donegal from about 1889 to 1893
Gilbertstown, Co. Louth around 1910
Balbriggan, Co. Dublin about 1910 to after 1916
Link to 1912 Directory where named in BalbrigganHe is also listed in the Sinn Fein Rebellion Handbook 1916 as the Head Constable in Balbriggan
There is also an online reference to him still being in that role in May 1917
There are a couple of possibilities for deaths but you would need a few more clues or a bit of trudging to discover more I think!
