Surely the link gives the birth of Dennis' son, William Henry, who has already been mentioned? Where do you get a twin from?

Not quite sure what you mean. No one has mentioned the word 'twin' on this thread, other than yourself. Maybe best you read the earlier posts again.

My fault, I had made an incorrect comment and then corrected it after stitchwitch had pointed out the error of my ways, lol

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. 😊

Hi Moragdon

The Carlow Sentinel 7 September 1844 mentions that Denis, like his wife, was a native of County Carlow.

However, there are also these details for him www.soldiersofshropshire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Denis-Dynan-VC-word.pdf

Thank you so much Monica. It’s a very interesting read, but rather sad that no one knows exactly where he is buried in Dublin.

Thank you.
