That's interesting as it gives his father as H.E.R Hunter and his uncle as Ellis Lister Hunter, yet the baptism gives his father as Ellis.

Yes, it's all very confusing. Both H E R Hunter and E L Hunter were in Shanghai around 1915 as another clipping shows a nephew of theirs getting married. E L ( presumably Ellis ) Hunter lived at 1a Hankow Road, Shanghai.
H E R Hunter ( Harry ) was with the Bank ( probably HKSB ) and died in 1924 in England

Ok, I think this info is correct and is the J E L Hunter we are looking at.
 I have to go write all this down and think about it. I think the dates need to be considered more closely as it appears he may have moved about to some degree. And I still don't know if he or any of this bunch are who I'm looking for and if they are indeed related.
The house photo ID should be my main clue, if it turns out to be a family member. On the other hand, it could be friends in UK who received the girls when they began school?

John Ellis Langford Hunter attended Bedford Modern School (date of birth 31 Jan 1897 )  His father is named as Ellis Lister Hunter.

Why does that photo of 'Hazeldene' not make me think of a property so close to the sea    The properties either side of those flats in St Catherines are the same design as each other, I would be expecting the ones that were destroyed to be the same.

Ellis Lister Hunter and later John Ellis Langford Hunter seem to have travelled backwards and forwards to China via Canada and America.

Interesting! I really think now that the Jack L Hunter I am looking at, is different from the J E L Hunter, although more coincidences appear. My Jack L Hunter died at 532 Ave Haig, Shanghai in 1945, and my grandfather and family lived at 799 Ave Haig in 1928 before moving back to their home in Columbia Circle, Amherst Road.
