Hi Rita This is the information re: the Dunnings - as you can see in Ireland it is spelt 'Donning' - and one of Davids children - went back to the name 'Donning', and some baptisms of his children is recording as Donning.

William went to the US, Samuel went to the US then Australia. It was known for years - that David's mother was Margaret - when in fact it was Elizabeth. J.P.
