Sgt. Michael Dunne
British Army 1st Btn. Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
(d.1st Jul 1916)
Michael Dunne was 1 of 4 boys in his family. His father was Patrick and his mother Anne. His younger brother Patrick also joined the army with him. Their other brother, John, also joined up. Sadly, Michael lost his life. His brother, Patrick, lost his life on the 17 of April 1916. John, was wounded and was sent home and was discharged. He tried to rejoin but was not allowed.
Michael was married to a woman by the name of Margaret. I do not know her surname. They had a child but when Margaret heard the news of Michael being killed she fled, to where no one knows. Family stories say she went to America with the child but no trace can I find. I've searched for a long time and as a last resort I'm trying to find Margaret's grandchildren, if any have.
I am the great grand nephew of Sargent Michael Dunne 1st Bat., Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, can anyone help me to find what happened to Michael's child?
