Northumberland / William Dunn - b.1799/1800 - Jane Fenwick b. 1806
« on: Saturday 08 March 08 01:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm trying to find information on William Dunn born in 1799/1800 in Monkseaton, Tynemouth.

He married Jane Fenwick (probably before 1830) and had 9 children between 1830-1850.

By 1851 he was farming at Fugar House in Tanfield, Durham.

Jane was born 1806/1807 at Ryton, Tyne and Wear.

Both died in 1886.

Any help would be appreciated. In particular I am keen to know the names of local parishes for Monkseaton and Ryton as I assume that is where their marriage occured.

Thanks

Pete

Kerry / William Costello

Hi,

I am trying to find out details of my great grandfather William Costello born in 1844.

He married my great grandmother in New Zealand in 1877 after emigrating from Ireland (possibly via Australia).

His marriage and death records show that he was born in Knocknamalough, O'Dorney, County Kerry.

I visited the County in 1994 and visited the Costello family. I met his great nephew Eugene who was in his nineties at the time and told me that william was one of three brothers who left the area.

I am not sure of the date he left.

If anybody could provide me with information or could point me towards a resource where I could undertake further searches, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Peter
