A John Hunter is listed as entered 5 June 1817, as son of John Hunter, and an earlier John Hunter is listed as entered 19th April 1791, son-in-law of Archd. [Archibald] Campbell. This in itself does not link the two John Hunters, but there is an entry in the membership list at 1890, where a Moses Hunter, who entered 27th August 1845, was the son of John Hunter, entered 5th June 1817, who was the son of John Hunter, entered 19th April 1791, son-in law of Archibald Campbell, entered 30th April 1772, apprentice of John Craig. So that gives you something on the Hunter line, but nothing on the Jackson line. EXCEPT that as William Jackson was married at the time of entry,[I see he married Susan Hunter on 7 Nov 1829 in Gorbals parish] so he would be (roughly) around 20 years of age then, and so you would be looking for a baptismal date of around 20 years previously, so around 1809, and probably in the Glasgow area. The central part of Glasgow was the parish of Barony, and a next-door parish was Gorbals, so an entry for either of these would mean the modern Glasgow.
