look up please for Annie Hunter

[Finley 1]

I have just come across this unpleasant notification on Ancestry and not totally sure whether it is part of my Hunter Family.

See attached.

Annie  Hunter  born in Ultimo was it seems murdered age 3 in Camperdown.. by William Hunter.  It seems it was for her life Insurance.

bless her.. now I think this is 1890...

I have NO idea if she belongs... to my Hunters but as I have lots of them from that area and with those names - it has made me curious to find more and ascertain.. one way or the other.

any help would be great.. I have searched where I can for Aus records   and can only get basic ?


FindMyPast newspaper even with an extra sub give me nada.


xin TIA

If you can find the father William's death certificate, it should give his parent's names and other identifying details if known by the informant. Similarly with his marriage certificate.

Knowing his parents may help you work out if he is one of yours.

Added:
I can't see an obvious marriage between William and Annie in the NSW indexes. I did find little Annie's birth though - her birth or death cert should tell you her mother's maiden name which may help find her parent's marriage (and her husband's parent's names).
