Was Eliza Skelton a widow when she married?
On FamilySearch
There is a marriage in Fermanagh of William Henry Dunne and Eliza Skelton or Clarke in 1846 giving William's father as William Henry Dunne

and

unfortunately the image of the marriage cert isn't online yet but should be soon.

which of course doesn't match with your information that his father was George.

Thank you!
I have a fair amount of info about William. I believe he was born in Cork in approx. Oct 1822. And was also married in Ireland to Eliza Skelton before coming to Australia, where he lived and died. He was a school teacher and I believe he owned numerous properties in Dublin, leaving some to his daughter in his will. What I'm really struggling to find is a lot of info about this father, George, grandfather Arthur and great grandfather Arthur Snr. (and wives). I've got rough dates for births, death and marriages etc. but probably more so, particularly with my travels to Ireland coming up soon, looking to see if anyone is aware of any sites I can visit linked to William, George, Arthur, Arthur and any other members in that direct line. Prehaps their graves, properties they owned/lived in etc. I know that's fairly broad but just wanted to ask in case someone had come across something. But as I said, literally any extra information that can be offered is appreciated.

Religion?

So William you believe he was born in Cork in approx. Oct 1822. And was also married in Ireland to Eliza Skelton before coming to Australia, where he lived and died.

He was a school teacher and you believe he owned numerous properties in Dublin, leaving some to his daughter in his will.

So was his daughter in Ireland or Oz?

Does a Will exist and does it say Where in Dublin the properties were?

He died in Oz.....When? 


I'm not going to spend hours trawling throug Wills and Deeds to see if daughter (single or married) registered the Inheritance year by year because you won't post some actual details!

Thank you Sinann! My information may be incorrect... my personal family tree didn't cover really any information on the pair or any further back from them, so everything I have found as been through my own research and things I have been able to uncover on ancestry.com, myheritage etc. that seem to fit with the little info I had. I had seen mention elsewhere of them possibly marrying in Fermanagh so I will be sure you check out that link you attached. Thanks so much!

Hallmark, I apologise if my messages have been unclear or not what you require. I am completely new to this site and have only recently started researching my family history so I am both inexperienced and unfamiliar with this site and with family history research. My request wasn't solely directed at you and I never directly asked you to trawl through hours of wills and deeds. I don't have information you require regarding religion etc. hence my asking here. From what research I have done, it seems the people mentioned in this thread previously were the same as in my family tree so I just wanted to ask if anyone had any updated info from what they had discovered and posted in this thread 3 years ago. I have a copy of the will which mentions leaving 9-11 Grafton Street to a daughter but I am unsure as to which country she was in. I believe he died in 1897 in Upper Macedon, Vic. That's all I really have unfortunately... if you feel you are unable to help. That's completely fine. Thank you for your time.

There is very little to learn from those links, an image of the cert will be on Irish Genealogy soon (fingers crossed) but you can order a photocopy of the cert if you don't want to wait, the extra info will only be where the couple were living when they married and occupation of the men and witnesses.

It's fine....was going to look for Wills, Deeds, Marriage Agreements if I had approx dates.


The likes of the first one here might be worth checking,

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSN6-73H4-2?i=336&cat=185720


and there are a few on next few pages, these are only 1800 to 1809 but they go back another 100 years. They obviously had money if the owned property in Grafton St.

Just had quick look in 1790's, pages and pages for Dunn in Index.
