From "Connections and Influence in the Victorian City of London" by Dr. Peter Claus, currently offline but archived at archive.org:

"Hunter, William, citizen and City activist, was born in Bury St. Edmunds of uncertain date. Like his father, Andrew Hunter, he was an upholsterer by trade. Free of the Upholders' Company by redemption in 1809, he was Master of the Company, 1845-6. He lived at 76 Coleman Street until 1854 and represented that ward at the Court of Common Council between 1825-1843. He was selected here as an Alderman in 1843 and died in office. He was also Deputy Governor of the Irish Society, 1842-43, Sheriff of London and Middlesex, 1844-45 and Lord Mayor, 1851-52. Having given so much of his life to the communality of the City, he removed to 13 Westbourne Terrace, Hyde Park around 1855. He died here on 22 September 1856, aged 75 years."

(Wikipedia's list of sheriffs of London says he served in 1842, not 1844-45.)

Notes:

We believe her to probably be the Agnes Hunter who was buried 7 Jan 1792 at Bunhill Fields, because Mary Ridley, first wife of her grandson William Hunter, lord mayor of London, was also buried there in 1815.

George married Jenet Wood. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
