Ida May Gamble/Dunn

[joyceullapool]

Hello! I am a new member as I am trying to find the mother of a friend from Belfast. My friend is 76 now and has Parkinson's disease so is not good at the computer. She was born * in 1935 in Belfast to Ida May Dunn and Andrew Cecil Dunn. She was given up for adoption at a few weeks old and brought to England immediately. Her adopted parents' marriage broke up two years later and she was put into a children's home and has been unable to trace her mother ever since. Ida was born in 1904 in Belfast, married in 1929 and her husband remarried a few years after * was born. Any information on her mother's history would be gratefully received as there are so many unanswered questions.
Thanks, Joyce

Adoption can be a very difficult issue both for the adopted child and adopted family as well as the blood relatives, some of which may not know the details of what happened years ago. Therefore, if anyone can help Joyce with information they should contact her by PM (Personal Message) rather than replying online.

Joyce- you'll need to have 3 posts to make sure the PM system will work for you. Another member was in touch earlier and I have a few more details if you are interested but I'd need to send them by PM so don't forget to post twice more here.

Joyce knows of two trees on genes which had Ida's details but the members are not now contactable so there has been research on this name.

Just post two more messages here joyce just to acnowledge these posts will do and then you will be able to send and receive messages by PM here.

Remember not to use any names of living people when posting here as it is against the rules.

Hi everyone,
Not sure if I am following the correct instructions but here is another message re Ida May Dunn. Her husband Andrew Cecil remarried a few years after my friend was born. I have seen the marriage cert but cannot remember the date. He stated that he was a batchelor (remarrying) ad not a widower. We had wondered if Ida had died in childbirth in 1935 but not sure.

Does anyone out there have any more info on this lady, please. She was born in Belfast in 1904, married in 1929 but it looks as if the marriage may not have lasted. I am trying to find out when and where she died. Her husband was Andrew Cecil Dunn. I know that there is a tree on Genes with it on but owners are not replying.
Cheers,
Joyce
