Dublin / Re: John McCune, Dublin - Marriage and Census
« on: Friday 01 November 13 09:14 GMT (UK)  »

John Stephen McCune was actually born in Belfast (not Dublin) on 26/12/1895.  His mother died when he was 6 months old of dropsy and his father also died when he was very young. (I don't know when.) John moved to Dublin when he was three years old and lived with his godmother.  John was the youngest child. He had four sisters and a brother- Nelly, Susan, Maggie, Annie and Robert who were brought up in Catholic orphanages in Northern Ireland.  Robert died in WW1 from injuries at the Battle of Somme in France.  Does any body know what happened to his mother, father and sisters or where the family is now?  Thank you.

John Stephen McCune was orphaned when he was young.  He died in 1956 in Fremantle, Western Australia.  This is why his parents weren't in the 1911 census.  Only Bernard Joseph McCune is still alive.
