As the title says...
Patrick was born in March 1901, Dublin, to James Dunnett (1871-1906) and Mary Hart (1872-1901).
He had two sisters, Mary and Annie and a brother, John. After the parents death, these 3 were sent to industrial schools in the city. I already have all my information on them but Patrick is the family mystery. We're not sure where he went as a 5 year old.
Family has said he was adopted but we're not sure by who. My guess is a woman called Bridget Reddy, who was a family friend we know about (he lists her as his grandmother on his army record...so I'm not sure).
So far, I can only find 4 records on Patrick. His Birth record, 1901 census, an army record (Cobh Southern Division Cork Command - 1923) and his marriage cert (Dublin, 1930). That's how I learned about his wife, Catherine. Her father was Patrick O'Neill. Please find my sources attached to this notice.
Other than that, I've checked Ireland records, UK, USA...the world over, and I've found nothing more on either of them. I've no idea if they had children.
I looked on both Ancestry, Find my Past, civil records, wills and army records. Still nothing. Maybe I need a fresh set of eyes on the task at hand. Would appreciate any help. Thank you!
+ I must add, I've already checked surname variations. 'Dunnett' has been spelled 'Donnett' or 'Dunnette' on a couple of other records. Still no luck!
