Her death index:
Name: Year of Birth:
HUNTER, JOAN 1889
GRO Reference: DOR Q4/1988 in WEST OXFORDSHIRE (7061) Volume 20 Page 2879
The extended version on FindMypast gives her birth date of 13 Dec 1889, the same as in 1939 and confirms that this was her death.
________________
Her will has been found.
________________
In her sister’s will she includes in her list of nephews and nieces:
(e) Brevet-Col Anthony Hunter N
(f) Richard Hunter N
(g) Major John Hunter Y?
(h) Mrs Mary McDermot (née Hunter) N
Major John might be the John Roland I have found, Mary might have married a McDermot but I still cannot find any such marriage. And Anthony and Richard remain unfound.
I suspect these births and marriage were outside the British Isles and thus unknown to easily accessible public records.
She is on the list for the 1921 census, when that gets released. This may show her family together on one place.
