Lt Alfred Henry Greenway Hunt, Dragoons

   

The permutations could be "A H Greenway-Hunt" "A H Hunt-Greenway" "A H H Greenway" A Hunt Greenway" etc. Nothing in TNA for either , a Dragoon with a MIC. I think that he has probably added the Greenway (or the Hunt) out of nowhere. There are a number of "A H Hunt" but nothing I can find with Greenway. It is written as "Hunt-Greenway Lt AH" in the Register and the other way round in Leave Book. And another rendering has him as "A G Hunt"

I think the clue is in his parents marriage in Odessa in 1869. Name: Henry William Hunt Birth Date: 1841 Age: 28 Spouse's Name: Nina Annibal Spouse's Birth Date: 1851 Spouse's Age: 18 Event Date: 15 Nov 1869 Event Place: Odessa, Kherson, Russia Father's Name: John Greenway Hunt Spouse's Father's Name: John Annibal. So Greenway was his grandfather's middle name. His father was a Consular Assistant when he married
