Hi Craig,
I'm a Denison, but don't think we're connected, alas. I've been trying to find the birth/baptismal records of my ancestor, James T. Denison/Dennison/Dinneson, etc., who was born c. 1790 in Ireland, possibly Belfast. He emigrated to America c. 1805 and ended up settling in West Virginia.
I was always told by my late father that our Denisons were related to the ones who first came to Irelandfrom Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England in the 1600s serving under Cromwell (for which I'm not proud, if that the case!). Trying to make the link now and have just commissioned the Ulster Historical Society to locate any record of James T. Denison.
Wishing you the best of luck in your search!
