Thanks, I have a lot of this (although I didn't know the KIA details for Susan and letitia's 1st husbands). I can add that Joseph and Susan had 4 children together - Samuel as you said, was my father, then George 1921 - 1963, Joseph 1925 to 1987 (earlier Joseph from marriage with Elizabeth Boyd died in a pit accident in 1923), and James 1928 - 1985). I am in touch with my cousins and their children and hope to see lots of the next week when I visit Scotland with daughter Helen.
Really I am looking for information on the Dunn family going back beyond Samuel/Micheal/James/Samuel (1740).

HI, both, I know you posted this many years ago but I'm about to head to Scotland and Ireland and wondered if you had further information. Not so much about William but the Dunns going backwards. My Granny was Susan Dunn, sister of Letitia. We are aware of their father Samuel b.1854, his father Michael b.1811, his father James b.1774 and his father Samuel b 1740 plus some wives and siblings but would be interested to know what you might have too.
I have a small memory of visiting a great aunt in Ayr and that she was connected with owning a bus company.
I also have a photo taken at my parents wedding with Susan Dunn and what I think are two of her sisters if that might be interesting to either of you.
