Dunne family from Westmeath

WestmeathBallymore (Westmeath)

Looking for any information on the Dunne family from, I believe, Milltown in Westmeath.

Patrick Dunne b. c 1800. Parents (according to death cert.) Michael Dunne & unknown. Michael was said to be in the militia or navy.

Patrick married Margaret Shaughness (father Michael Shaughness) 1836 Ballymore westmeath.

They had 4 known children, Thomas b.1838, Mary, born 1839, John b. 1842 & Rose b. 1845.

John married Margaret McAuly 1866 in Ballymore.

The family came to Melbourne Australia around 1867-69.

Hi Heleln

There are 2 baptism/birth records of Patrick Dunne 1800 + - 2 years on www.rootsireland.ie/; the father is not Michael & the parish not Milltown however.

The marriage record of Patrick & Margaret is also there; it may have the parents' names with which to search for siblings on rootsireland.ie
