My Jack L Hunter died at 532 Ave Haig, Shanghai in 1945

So two completely different people with similar lives, as John Ellis Langford Hunter died in South Africa in 1971 (as posted earlier)

Good afternoon,

Can't see st view as I don't get it on my tablet. However if memory serves me correctly the houses on St Catherines rd are semi's, the photo's show a detached house. Opposite is a grass area with Beach rd on the far side.

I'm thinking more over towards Rustington or maybe Bognor. I seem to recall similar looking houses there.

Demolition gang member no 1 is here and is using the laptop. So will have to wait until later when I return from the rifle club and he's in bed.

Yes, it seems so. I guess them all having China connections gave me to wonder and I still don't know that they're not connected in some way, but the Jack L Hunter and J E L Hunter are indeed different people ( born a year apart too by the looks of it ) Back to the "house ID "  :)

I can't find  no. 8, St.Catherine's road on 1939 register unless it was bombed as gadget said during WW2. It was sold in 1938.

You have names for the people in the photos...is this fact or Guess work?

Muriel Jerome as I found earlier was born in South Africa and as Groom found...was resident at the Hazeldene address.

Is this significant or an irrelevant fact?

I may be barking up the wrong tree, but if I was shown these photos out of context, they strike me as being a bit later than 1924. This is definitely a 1920's style house, so in 1924 it would have been pretty much brand new. It looks to me like its much more established than a new property......just saying....

I'm not sure if there is any relevance to this,or just coincidence,but there is a 1925 record for Mr C. Jerome and wife leaving for South Africa.The UK address is given as Southlands,Littlehampton.
This property is on South Terrace,Littehampton and if you look at the 1911 census for South Terrace you will find a Hunter family with a Shanghai connection.

It would have been on the 1939 as the war had just about started.  ;D ;D

Typical, most of that road has been redeveloped, but the older houses don't look like the photo.
