Looking for Nora/Hanora
« on: Friday 18 August 17 14:04 BST (UK) »
I have only limited information on Nora Dunne born circa 1920 Lismore Co Waterford.
She went to live in Uk I believe London in 1940's.  She married a James/Jim Keesse and they went to California in mid 1970's. She died 2009/2010 there.
Any information appreciated. Thank you

Hi,

You're welcome.

I did have a look for obits, but no luck. Thought Honorah's would show as her death was recent.

Cheers,
DB

Thank you DB for looking.  I am presuming James D burial place is a military cemetery.  While his wife is transcribed on memorial would she be interred at another location.  I did find their marriage in London UK in 1970 so I am presuming they did not have any family. :)

The military gravesite locator indicates that she was buried there and James' middle name was Dwight.  http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/index.html

Honorah Keesee b. Feb 15, 1926 d. Aug 31, 2014

Honorah with that birthdate was living in South Carolina (online records go from 1950-1993 - there isn't an exact year); her full name was Honorah D Keesee.
