Hello, I’ve only just found your message, its fascinating as I have read the newspaper reports about Amelia many times. I’ve been researching various Dynan family lines for about 30-35yrs now trying to find the correct one or piece various bits of info together to get an accurate whole! I must admit with very little luck, as there are so many surname variations, locations and of course the well known difficulty with Irish Records.
I have never before read about his life and Medals though, so it’s really interesting.
Do you know what Denis Dynan’s ancestry is? Particularly his parents and where his family originated, I’m suspecting Ireland and I’d love to know what County to be able to see if he fits into one of the Trees I’m working on.
The Dynan line I’m looking for, or trying to get back into Ireland from, includes a man born in Ireland abt 1803-1812 (depending on which record one believes), I’m still unsure where in Ireland he was born, but its now looking like maybe County Clare. I’m just curious about your Denis and whether he could be connected some way.
Best wishes and Happy New Year 2023. 😊
