Looking for LIVING descendants of John Henry Dunk
« on: Wednesday 06 April 16 20:26 BST (UK) »
Trying to touch base with any living relatives in England.  Just getting nostalgic, I guess.

John Henry Dunk (married to Clara Alice Cramp) was a coal porter in Hastings, England.  He was born in 1867 and died in 1949.  One of his daughters, Nellie May Dunk, emigrated to the United States along with her sister, Polly Maud Dunk.  Nellie May Dunk married William Roy Allen and was my Grandmother.

As far as I can see, these look like all the Dunk children, born in Hastings:


John William Dunk  1893 died 1976 married Fanny R Adams 1921. 3 children
George Edward Dunk 1895 died 1962 married Elsie G Holland 1922. I can't see any children.
Polly Maud Dunk 1902
Nellie May Dunk 1903
Lillian Jennie Dunk 1905 married William H Pilbeam 1937 two children
Violet Florrie Dunk 1907  married Charles Killingback 1941, one child born 1951.
Kathleen Jessie Dunk 1909 married Reginald C Wood 1932 poss several children
Daisy I Dunk 1911 married Thomas C Wynyard 1938 died 1998, can't see any children
Sydney F Dunk 1914  died 1967 married 1948 I think.

This is a good family to work with due to the unusual names. All can be found on Freebmd. You could probably follow through the children.
