Earlier I found n article re James Golden Wedding anniversary- I've just found another on his Diamond anniversary! in the Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail - Saturday 15 July 1950

It states James was born in Meerut, India and was the son of a Third Hussar. He went to Dundee when he was 11. Both he and Annie were devout Roman Catholics. There is also photo of James and Annie. I've sent a copy to Terence.

Also this:

Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail - Monday 28 October 1946

DEATHS
Coop- On Oct 26- at the New Sussex Hospital, Brighton, Annetta, dearly loved wife of TW Coop and third daughter of Mr & Mrs JA Dunne, 39 Wansbeck Gardens. Interment at Brighton on Wednesday- Depply Regretted- RIP

Think this is likely James' father. (Record on FMP)

He was discharged in 1878 and had served 17 years in East India.

He served with the 19th Hussars and was transferred in 1870 to the 3rd Hussars.

He enlisted in Dundee, his occupation then a weaver

Glasgow Herald Lanarkshire, Scotland. 27 Aug 1872 ... 20 Jul 1890 ... Bridgeton. Glasgow, on July 18. ... James A. Dunne to Annie Butchart Present address.

I've searched the BNA, I can't see anything relating in the Glasgow Herald- I suspect it's the snippet re their golden wedding in 1940 that I posted on page 1- the wording is the same: 'James A. Dunne to Annie Butchart Present address 'Dunholme'

Jude

Yes- Londonbelle put that up- along with this one, which would be his brother:

Name John Dunn
Birth 27 Oct 1861
Bap 7 Nov 1861, Catholic Church Barrackpore, Bengal
Father James Dunn occ Private 19th Hussars
Mother Ann

Yes I just attached the image as well via keepsafe...there are quite a few James Dunns unfortunately!

Jude

This looks to be correct as a sister- father of the 19th Hussars

Name Mary Ann Dunn
Gender Female
Christening Date 03 Sep 1868
Christening Place CAWNPORE, BENGAL, INDIA
Birth Date 18 Aug 1868
Birthplace CAWNPORE, BENGAL, INDIA
Father's Name James Dunn
Mother's Name Ann

So what happened to John (b1861) and Mary Ann (b1868)?

HeyJude- on the marriage of James to Annie Quinn that you put in your keepsafe, can you read what surname it is for James' mother - Ann C???

I have tried and can only decipher a few letters CA?T don't know if the "original" would be any clearer.

Annette Dunne married Thomas W Coop Sept. Quarter 1935 Hartlepool

James A (jnr.) Married Hannah Roe Sept. Quarter 1929 Hartlepool

Don't know if Terry has any of this info.

Thanks Eringobragh. It's so frustrating!

Another sibling to James?

Birth Date: 29 Sep 1859

Could this be Ann (Quinn) death? The age is a bit out, but in 1870, on James' service record it does reference Ahmednuggur? which is where this Ann was buried:

Another fabulous array of info.Thank you all for your research.I'm sure someone posted an Obituary for James from Hartlepool Newspaper,but I can't find it.Ring any bells to anyone?If so could you post it again? Thanks,
Regards Terry L.

AustinQ since my last posting I have gone through 1834 Census for Granard Parish Co.Longford and cannot find a Dunne Listed...it took some doing as the print in the books is so poor..I then followed that by searching RC Baptisms 1836-1838 that's even a bigger problem because of the writing and the poor copying....only came across 1 Dunne William 1836 son of Patrick and Bridgid so wonder if the Dunne's were just moving into the area...had to give up on the Registers half way through 1839 or I will be here at six oclock and still got nothing done..
I had wondered if some of the children of James snr and Ann were living with familyeither in Ireland /Scotland but nothing showing for Dunne Births in India so far....

TerryL Just out of curiosity what relationship are you to the Dunnes....??
