Willie may only have been on a visit to family up there.

Good picture of the garage - thanks Dee.    No photo of Willie and Minnie though      Well it didn't say who was in the photo - but William was a photographer - out on a photographic expedition to QLD

That link also said research data no longer available - (apart from the one photo of the garage)

There is a problem - if they are supposed to be in that photo, William had been dead a year.  I haven't got any of John Francis Dunning's children - maybe he had a Willie as well.   But not a wife named Minnie!         Or am I not seeing something here!   

Went through QLD library, and did find the photos of old QLD places - very interesting!

Wiggy, something went wrong with that link too....so

So go to
http://www.pictureaustralia.org/apps/pictureaustralia
put in Dunning.

Photo of Willie and Minnie is on Page 13.
It looks like a wedding photo sent to family in Queensland and out in the photo album that has been scanned by the Queensland Library.

If you still can't find it, I'll get it to you another way.

I'd also like a list of all Samuel's children that you know about. There's a Charles who died in Queensland before 1888, father Samuel.

Article in Trove shows that Charles Dunning wasn't one of yours.

Thanks I'll try that - meantime here are Samuel's children.  ( Sam arrived in Aus in 1859 aboard Wellesley.  Emma Came two years earlier with Susan Crees and family.)

Charlotte  1824   haven't tabbed her yet
Susan  Mrs John Crees   1824  - 1899 twin?
Samuel     1827 - 1914   (Married Susan Skinner 1822-1900)  Have these two in all censuses up to 1891
Thomas 1830- 1893 (mine)   married  Jane Grigg
Emma Ruth    1838 - 1893   Mrs John Spiller
Amelia Lavinia   1842 - 1861
John Francis -    1844   sighted in QLD.

 I know Samuel stayed in UK - have his death and that of his wife over there.    I haven't found any children for them!

[Wiggy]

Brilliant - did you notice on page 8 there was one of a Frank Dunning - but I suspect it was in Tasmania!    .

[deeiluka]

Yes.....I suspect that too.

On John Francis Dunning sighted in Queensland....that was the Probate advertisement in 1873. Well, I cannot find a death registration for him. Frustrating!
No sign of Charlotte In Queensland and so far I haven't spotted her in Victoria. She certainly didn't marry before 1888.

Oh oh, Wiggie.....look what I just found....

Thomas William DUNNING married Minnie ROSE in 1902 in Queensland.
Ref =1902/C239

I wonder if Thomas William was known as Willie?


Dee

OH heck!!!!       
I wonder  - 'cos mine married Minnie Murphy didn't he!!   And he died in Vic - 'cos you found his death here.   
But mine was a photographer - and John Francis was his uncle  . . . . I can just see it!   

"Minnie dear,  Lets take a trip up to QLD for some snaps - lots of interesting pictures to be had up there - and we can stay with Uncle John and visit the rellies while we're away!    And we only have Harold Valentine to take with us!" 
[/s]
I wonder if John F had a wife and family up there.   Next assignment!!   

I was just thinking - I could get the photo dated - but they were probably the same generation so that won't help much!!   more thinking - that photo is too recent for my William and Minnie - that's the early 1900s big wide brimmed hat brigade - so another generation - Mine were married in 1887

this photo is Spot on for a 1902 wedding I think!
