It does seem that W J Icke's engagement to Eileen Winifred Hunter was called off. She was a spinster when she married W D Noble in Alexandria in April 1944. She recorded her surname as Hunter-Smith, and her father as William Horace Hunter-Smith, actor.

So is this Hunter connection another red herring and was just his stage name that he adopted?

Just casting round for other strands/connections/coincidences I am struggling to find anything.

The other Hunters in Littlehampton in 1911,Mary W,Victoria and Barbara at 5 South Terrace,look like they travelled back to China as a group in 1920,though Barbara alone as a schoolgirl travelled in  1916.

The wife of Charles Malcolm Hunter is given as Sarah Bate Hunter,though I can't see a marriage to a Sarah Bate.There is,however,a record of an E.R.Bate travelling with a Miss Hunter to China in 1911.

Can't connect either strand to your family.Nor can I find the occupants in 1891 of the house in Lucien Road(AilsaCraig),where your relative died in 1894.

Regards
Roger

Roger; his is the death certificate. Maybe it was some sort of care facility? Or maybe the sister in law's place, Elizabeth Johnston?

I have new information on this topic.
Mate’s Street directories for 1923 and 1924 have this information:

#56 Talbot Road: Mr and Mrs W. A. Walters
#58 Talbot Road: Miss C. V. Gardner

 #56 "Sandon" Mr and Mrs W. A. Walters

#58 "Hazledene" Miss C.V. Gardner

 
The Electoral Roll gives their full names:

#56: William Arthur Walters and Martha Jane Walters

#58: Clare Victoria Gardner and Dorothy Mildred Gardner.

Both addresses were checked and the second one, #58 appears to be the one that pertains to my "Hunter Family" It now looks like this Gardner family must have been the owners in 1923 and 1924.
I'm still unable to connect the dots, other that I know it's the right house.
