Find Living Relatives

Many thanks to one and all for your assistance, I think that the George born in York is the grandfather of the Dawnay family who lived in South Dublin with whom I grew up.

Kindest regards to you all.

EDIT: There are marriages on freeBMD for at least 4 of the daughters mentioned in my previous post, in St Pancras Reg District in the 1960s. (possibly 5, one has variant spelling of forename so not sure).

You can check for yourself at the free site below.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

You could find the names of the bridegrooms from the marriage indexes, and look for records of the girls under their married names. Also you can look for births of children with the husband's surname, mmn Dawnay.

Could also check for the various names in trees on this site, as has already been suggested by Jacqueline.

Re the possible marriage that Prickly Holly posted for George in 1925, I think that George married Irene Dennis as there are several Dawnay births with mmn Dennis in Dublin South.

Not seeing an obvious George & Tommy, but there is Eleanor G, Joan C, Monica B, Joseph F, Nuala M, Clare, Sylvia P, Anthony, Jacinta H M, Gertrude, all with mmn Dennis.

Don't like to put birth dates as they may well be still living .

Didn't you see the birth on freebmd?


Births Sep 1904 (>99%)
DAWNAY George Alexander Southwark 1d 144

Have you tried search trees?

Is he in your tree?

EDIT

I've looked.

he's in two trees.....neither of them yours.

Putting your tree on GR is one of the best ways to find connections

I would like to make contact with some of the children who lived at 26 Derrynane Gardens Bath Avenue Sandymount to share our joint past history.

Best regards
Donal

George Dawnay was born in England circa 1905. The 1911 Irish census lists his family in Dublin as follows;
Father.. George T Dawnay born York c 1881
Mother, Bridgit Dawnay born Dublin c 1881.
George Dawnay lived in Sandymount Dublin in the 1950's along with his family, wife and as I recall, 2 sons, George and Tommy and five daughters.
