We posted back in September 2021 about a mystery post card that Jane’s father has in his possession, click here to read that post.


The earlier post mentions the names Sarah, Jack and Ada. Now we know for certain the real identity of Joseph Leigh Hunter; we know who the three people were:


Sarah Lee (1873-1933)
Ada Isabel Lee (1879-1850)
John “Jack” Edward Gilliland (1877-1951)

Sarah and Ada were Joseph Leigh’s (Matthew Lee) sisters and Jack was Ada’s husband.


The line on the postcard “Tell mother we are all right” suggests that Catherine Lee nee Walton was visiting her son, Joseph Leigh Hunter ( Matthew Lee ) in Bathgate, West Lothian.
