Dr Robert de Vere Hunt, Surgeon

[SAConnection]

Hi everyone,

I hope I'm in the right place for this query.

I'm trying to establish whether Dr Robert de Vere Hunt was registered with the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He was Irish, and came from Tuam, Galway. Apart from his father being Thomas de Vere Hunt, and the fact that he married my great-grandfather's sister, Margaret Anne Bridget Loch in 1840, I have no information about him. I looked on the Munk's Roll but was unable to find his name.

Would anyone be able to help me try and fill his branch out somewhat. It's rather bare at the moment.

Many thanks
Jane

I'm struggling a bit here.
Jane, do you know if Dr Robert De Vere Hunt practised in the UK or Ireland?
Do you know which part of the UK or Ireland he worked?
Have you managed to find him in any census.

There is a Henry de Vere Hunt b,1856 on the 1901 and 1911 ireland census at Asacragh Town (Ahascragh, Galway) although this about 35 miles east of Tuam.

Contact the College Library and Archives at: rcseng.ac.uk/library (put http://www. in front). They'll be able to tell you.

Thank you so much for that info. Will try them .......hope I can make sense of the website. I did try the Munk's List on some website, but found nothing. Think I mentioned that.

Take care, and thanks again
