Hi Jacqueline
I noticed your interest in the Carmathen Donne/Dwnn/Dunn family. My direct interst is in John Donne ca 1675 who settled in Wick/Llandow in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Indirectly I have an interest in all the Donnes as they all link up one way and another - just a bit of a challenge trying to make the connections! I thought you would interested in a recent contact I have made who is a direct descendent of Anthony Donne ca 1693.
She is also trying to research into his possible parents being Robert Donne ca 1660 & Katherine. Please let me know if you like to make contact.
Have you seen the following lease document for land in Carmarthen in the National Library of Wales - NLW Ref No 231-232 ( date is 1704 ) Mentions Robert Donne of the parish of Penbrey, the younger, and Elizabeth, his wife. This is about the right time and place so is closely conencted.
Suggests Robert senior is still around - wife listed as Elizabeth - so could be a second wife or perhaps there is another generation. Plenty to think about!
