Hi and welcome to the forum. You will find a number of articles about this man in the old newspapers, available online as well as in the Record Office.
One of the newspaper items I have found is from the Police Guardian dated 6 August 1892
At the Liverpool Assizes on Friday morning before Mr. Justice Grantham, the prisoners Alexander Wilson and Isaac Parry Lunt, who had pleaded guilty to frauds by which they had robbed their employers, Messrs. Reynolds and Gibson, cotton brokers, or Liverpool, of sums amounting to £150,000, came up for sentence - His Lordship, in passing sentence, alluded to the magnitude of the sums dealt with, but did not consider that technically their offence was greater on that score. In Wilson's case also he felt that with the exception of Lunt, his superior and co-offender, there was a want of surveillance, and as a result it was more easy for him to do wrong acts than should ahve been the case. He believed in the prisoner's expressions of regret and penitence, but he felt that he would not be doing his duty if he passed a less sentence than that of penal servitude. The sentence upon Wilson would be one of three years, and upon Lunt one of four years penal servitude.

Although no Lunts that I have had contact with appear to be related to Isaac Parry Lunt, he has obviously been of interest because of his colourful life.
I have a small tree tracing his ancestry back to Samuel Lunt and Martha Bramwell who married in St James, Toxteth Park on 14 November 1785 (Isaac's gt grandparents) and census entries up to 1901. I believe his death would be the entry for Isaac P Lunt 1936 Liverpool South 8b 195 age 71.
Do you use a software that can open a gedcom file? If so send me a pm with your email address and I'll see if I can help a little more.
