Did you see the Hewitt and Munn references on Ros Davies. She also keeps list of peoples interests. And lists of available church records etc
I turned up the following note which may have gone onto the Irish Caora website sadly presently defunct.
“In April 02, Julie Munn [*] with her husband was I think possibly proving his descent from your James Munn, , see try Genforum and here of course on Caora see the good listing by Hugh McCartney etc. About that time Maree Moore privately supplied me Munn references. One of the cousins might be Elizabeth Munn d 1861 of Ballyalloly, wife of my ggg Wm Gracey 1769-1840. Try contact with Julie Munn substituting @ sign for the at in her email above first and later me direct. My research stopped about then, and then my uncles missing papers mostly researched 1953-4, were rediscovered in 2004 eg Commander James Whitla Gracey archive. First draft 24 March 2004
Envelope G ; Gracey questionnaires
1. Information;The family of Gracey of Ballyaltikilligan; R Middleton replies eg 2foolscap includes the Wm Gracey plate on railing
2. CJWG has questions on Munn
3. CJWG has questions on marriages 1830-1855
4. Wanted marriage certificate for Wm G and Eliz Munn, reward for any male Gracey marriage between 1683-1800 [ Jim notes warning signals about variant spellings eg Mun]. Regretfully there are no answers recorded for his Munn queries.
I suggest try contacting Julie Munn see top line, substituting @ sign for the at in her email and later me direct. I think there is another Munn researcher at Ulster Historical foundations listings of members interests.Do share your results please, Regards Jim”
I don’t know if I got any reaction. I attempted to keep hard copy of all my gracey interest so Hugh MacCartney and Marie Moore references might exist in my store
Further checking my uncles indexs
Munn Elizabeth ABT 1780/1805 18 Jun 1861 x Jim's gen 8
Munn Elizabeth Wanted marriage certificate for Wm G and Eliz Munn, reward for any male Gracey marriage between 1683-1800 . G 4
Munn Mathew? born about 1780- 1805 Ballyalloly? xJim's gen 8
Munn CJWG has questions on Munn . G 2
I think a R Middleton or church sexton replied to my uncle on a 2page letter but in general about the Ballyaltikilligan townland. He might have mentioned the Munn family. The original letter is with my cousin Tim Gracey and also in his storage, so nothing quickly available to you.
Finally did you try my ‘ directory ‘on the Comber Historical Societys website If you want more recent Munns the 1901 and 1911 free census are most useful
Have you tried genforum and rootsweb for Munn message boards
If you think I can help I would be happy to try to do so.
Good luck onwards and well done for getting so far.
