Could be another red herring,but I think the Jack L Hunter who dies in Shanghai in 1945
(born 1886) marries ,circa 1925,a Helen M Wrigley,born c.1895 Bromley,Kent.
There appears to be quite a number of properties(as well as people) called Hazeldene in Bromley.
I'll see what I can find further,but,as Captain Oates is reported to have said as he left the tent..I may be some while..

Regards
Roger

Yes Roger, I came up with him too. Jack Leicester Hunter, son of Leonard and Jeanette Hunter of Manchester. That would be a good possibility as my Hunters are originally from Manchester, although as yet I haven't been able to link to a Leonard Hunter. He married Helen Margaret Wrigley and died in Shanghai in 1945 following  cycling accident. Looks like maybe they were separated or divorced as a notice was sent to her in c/o the Bank in Melbourne, Australia in 1945. She died in UK in 1965. I've saved what I found in case it proves out.

Wow! I really like that! The little diamond shaped window by the entrance way is there and the roof over the front door, even the large fir trees look like they are in the right spot. The window configuration looks good too. Going back to look some more.

It really looks like the place and the other houses fit too. I am looking at the lighter colored house as being the correct one....of the two that have diamond windows. Do you agree?

Now just have to figure out who lived there 1924-1928

Wow, don't know how you did that BrazilianBombshell, but I'm 99% certain that's the right house - number 58! Number 56 is identical as well as are the chimneys on number 54.

That's brilliant work!

Got there in the end didn't we! I'd love to know how BB did that so quickly after you mentioned Bournemouth.

Just to clinch the deal...here's a shot of the back side in the garden, that up until recently I wasn't positive was taken at the same house. No doubt about it now as from Google the back wall configuration is dead on!

Ancestry have Dorset Electoral Registers but unless I'm looking in the wrong place I don't think they have Bournemouth.
