Biographical data
Name: Hunt, Robert Fitzmaurice  
Born: 1824
Died: 11 Aug. 1907
 
Notes:
Gaige says he died at age 83 in 1907, so he was born in 1823 or 1824. Harding has sent his precise date of death from ancestry.com. The Chess Player's Chronicle of Dec. 1861 (p.355) and the Era of 10 Nov. 1861 (p.14) have him as 'F.R. Hunt'.
