As I wrote earlier, I don’t think they are the right family so James William will not be connected.

Are you sure about David William Cunningham and Phyllis Blanche Mayhew being the parents?

There is a birth for Marie Louise Cunningham here with mother Mabel - O’Shea.
David Cunningham, Father, is an Army Schoolmaster

Thank you so very much Heywood.   No after speaking to her Gran, she said she wasn't sure if Phyllis was right or not.  All her Gran told her was that her Grandfather was born in Ireland and that David was married to a Mabel, his siblings were a Buddy and unknown female.  Other than that we know nothing. David I believe was born in India so all info I've collected re-David and Phyllis seemed to fit, marriage and probate info.
Her Gran has a lot of old photo's which she has been showing her, but haven't come across any certificates (yet).  She has only just started asking her Gran about the family, so hopefully more will be revealed..
Yes, the other Cunningham family living in Westminster is wrong as they are still there in 1939  The ones in Sutton seems to be right, as this is where the family settled.

Thank you again.

It is a bit confusing.

1911 shows that there are 2 Davids both born India.

If you believe that the marriage to Mabel O’ Shea is correct, you would be best to purchase the marriage certificate to verify David’s father.

The marriage to Phyllis shows David William Cunningham, Lieutenant ASC with father John William Cunningham retired Major.

JWC married Ellen Greig and is variously described as an Army Schoolmaster with the rank of Officer.
He is in Dublin in 1901

A couple of trees show this family but no children to David and Phyllis.
