The following document may have been once of the reasons for this confusion as it claims he died in 1907. It also has an incorrect date and place of birth. It's source is unknown but it appears to be a cut-out from a book about Victorian painters which was possibly quoted by many thinking it was accurate. The descriptive nature of his paintings is accurate as is the connection with Charles Hunt (his uncle) and their is a Welsh connection but more likely North Wales than Cardiff as he was living near Manchester for a while before he had any children.
