Trooper J Dunne WW1
« on: Wednesday 19 September 18 20:14 BST (UK) »
Hi all
        Private Timothy McDonnell died 1916 WW1 .
On the reverse of his short will there are 3 Names who i assume he was writing to
http://soldierswills.nationalarchives.ie/reels/sw/McDonnellT_E370442.pdf

John Godsil born Waterford 1883 who was his brother in law survived the war was married and died in Scotland

Patrick Cleary was his nephew son of his eldest sister Mary McDonnell and Ptk Cleary
he too died in France 1918

1911
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Fitzwilliam/Fennell_s_Lane/73245/

Timothy's parents were Daniel McDonnell and Bridget Dunne
Bridget Dunne was born to John Dunne and Mary Walsh 1840s she married Daniel in 1868

so i am presuming that Trooper J Dunne,no7 Veterenary Canadian Hospital,B E F France is a grandson of John Dunne and Mary Walsh and possibly born Dublin late 1880s early 1890s

any one see a record for a John or Joseph Dunne born Dublin possibly serving in the above 1915/1916.

any leads much appreciated

Excellent dbree thank you that looks bang on with the addresses i have found for Timothy's family in the Charlemont St area of Dublin where they all lived for years.

John/Jack's birth 1887 to Laurence Dunne and Catherine Black  exact date
198 here
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1887/02561/1947432.pdf

parents marriage 1884 Laurence son of John
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1884/10902/5982182.pdf

John Dunne and Mary Walsh had a son Laurence baptised 21st Sep 1856

1901 one of the addresses used for next of kin
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Mansion_House/Montague_Court/1343615/

John/Jack left home by 1911
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Mansion_House/Montague_Place/75747/

his service record says his marriage of 6th Dec 1917 was approved to Jennie/Jane/Janet  or Jennifer
possibly in Brixton ,England ?

Timothy McDonnell was baptised 10th March 1891 his godfather was Laurence Dunne

the envelope which contains John's service record say's deceased 7th March 1958 where ?

certanily looks like right man

once again dbree thank you very much

I wonder if his marriage date was 1918 instead of 1917? There's this one that looks interesting. It's kind of mixed up on FreeBMD but FMPast has a better image.
