Biography
John (Vere) was born in 1836 in Liverpool, England. He is the son of William Hunt and Eliza Daly.[1]
He was baptised on 14 August 1836. The details were as follows:
- BAPTISM TRANSCRIPTION: NAME: John Vere Hunt
- SEX OF CHILD: Male DATE OF BIRTH: 8th August 1836
- PLACE: Liverpool. England
- FATHER: William Hunt OCCUPATION:
- BIRTHPLACE: Ireland AGE:
- MOTHER: Eliza Margaret Hunt BIRTHPLACE: Limerick. Ireland
- AGE: 25
- OTHER CHILDREN: William Augustus Hunt
- BIRTHPLACE: Limerick. Ireland. AGE: 2

- PLACE OF BAPTISM: St Mary's Catholic Church. Highfield Street, Liverpool. England

He emigrated to Australia as a 1 year old with his parents in 1837.
At one stage his occupation was listed as "Clerk/Gentleman".
He married Rebecca Maria Cohen in Glebe in 1861.[3]
They had 14 children, although sadly a number died in infancy.
He passed away in Marrickville, NSW in 1914.[4][5]
Research Notes
- Where did the name "Vere" come from? His marriage certificate is very clear - he was called "William John Hunt"......but....in all the birth certificates for all of his children, he is called either "Vere", "Vere J" or "Vere John". In addition, in his death certificate, he is called "Vere J Hunt". In addition, the transcription of his Baptism certificate shows his name as "John Vere Hunt". More investigation is needed. The ideal source would be his original birth record from England. It would also be useful to see his father's birth record.
- Wikipedia may hold a clue - a search for the surname "De Vere Hunt" identifies that there an Irish Baronet called "De Vere Hunt" (1761-1818). In addition, over time the Baronet name "morphed" from "Vere Hunt" to "De Vere" over a period of 150 years. [6]
- Is it possible that there is a direct link between William John (Vere) Hunt and the De Vere Baronets? Certainly, in his descendants, the names "De Vere", "Vere" and "Aubrey" appear on a number of occasions.
