Clare / Denis/Donat "Dunny" White
« on: Thursday 25 September 14 14:41 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I am researching my great grandfather Donat White (1885-1976)
He fought in WWI and was in the Hurling Championships 1907 which his team won (Scariff)
He married Winifred Sheedy in 1913 and had my grandmother (Mary-Ellen) and my great Aunt Margaret, who I was fortunate enough to have met. I am not sure if they had any more children.
I would love to obtain any other information on either Donat or any of the family. I would especially like to see a photograph.
It looks like Donat was actually born with the christian name Denis. I believe he changed his name for political reasons but have no evidence of this.
Can anyone help? Any scraps of information, no matter how small, would be gratefully recieved.
Many thanks
