This British surname is barrelled, being made up of multiple names. It should be written as Aldington Hunt, not Hunt.

Hunt was educated at the University of Queensland and ordained in 1920. After a curacy in Numurkah, New South Wales he held incumbencies at Wunghnu and Milawa. He also worked as a school master in Brisbane, Geelong and Toowoomba.[3] He was Vicar of St John the Baptist, Newington[4] from 1934 to 1941; a Chaplain to the Forces from 1935 to 1942;[5] and of All Saints, Pocklington from 1941 until his appointment as Archdeacon.
