Pedigree Chart for Joseph William DUNNE The Ancestors, Cousins & Kinfolk of Joseph William Dunne by Michael R Dunne List of Contents Preface Page 1 List of Surnames Pages 2 - 5 The Ancestors, Cousins, and Kinfolk of Joseph William DUNNE (1918-2006) Pages 6 - 84 Kinship Report - Joseph William DUNNE Pages 85 – 92 Pedigree Chart - Joseph William DUNNE Page 93 Full Family Chart - Joseph William DUNNE Page 94 Bibliography Page 95 (i) Preface This e-book focuses on the Dunne family tree. The Malia tree will follow in due course. I have used Joseph William (Joe) Dunne as the principal individual and starting point, however the relationships herein apply equally to his two sisters Jane Buglass (Jenny) Maguire, née Dunne, and Nora Mary Potter Conboy, née Dunne. Joe’s paternal line is of Irish descent whilst his maternal line includes many of the famous Border Reiver family names, particularly Milburn, Robson, Charlton and Hedley. The Buglass (Beuglass) name features prominently. The origins of the Buglass family would appear to be Scottish Border farmers who were probably frequent targets of the Border Reivers! My initial inspiration for researching our family history was the occasional family story or two passed down, in particular the stories of Irish pirates and shipwrecked sailors from the Spanish Armada in the Malia family, and Joe Dunne’s uncle, Thomas Dunne, who had migrated to the USA and who used to write occasional letters to the young Joe about his life in America. Thomas had told Joe that he was running a hotel in Chicago in the late 1920’s and early 30’s, during the height of the gangster era. As I have dug deeper into the Dunne family tree I have discovered some extraordinary facts and stories about our ancestors and cousins. There was a previously unknown history of Teachers, Midwives, Police Officers, Public Servants and Railway Workers in the family, all occupations which have at some time or another been undertaken by more than one or two living members of the family. There are also stories of tenaciousness and stubbornness, of heroism, of alleged criminal activity, of Irish Republican activity, of tragedy, of ‘unfortunate’ deaths and of missing (or misused) assets. There is also a highly probable link to the invading Norman Army of 1066, but that link cannot be demonstrated to the acceptable genealogical quality standard. I have included some but not all the third cousins of Joe Dunne. Those included generally have some intriguing facts which may be of interest to the reader. With the exception of the Dodson’s who live in the USA I have only included deceased persons. The Dodson’s are the descendants of Freddie Claydon, Joe’s first cousin, who migrated to the USA in the 1950’s. I have included them as I understand that at least one member of that family has also been undertaking research of the family tree and they might trip upon this e-book via a Google search at some time in the future. I actually took a DNA test in 2016 to establish if I could confirm the accuracy of my research. The results which are a paternal/maternal mix are: 47% Irish, 18% Scandinavian, 12% French, 12% British, 7% Spanish and 4% Eastern Europe. These figures tend to confirm I have been on the right track. You can of course never finish researching a family tree. New material becomes available regularly and just as I have decided to ‘publish’ this e-book I have become aware of a collection of documents donated to Northumberland County Archives at Woodhorn by a member of the Buglass family. That’s one for the future though. In the meantime I hope you find this e-book interesting.

    Flood hydrology facts Northumberland, Durham & Tees Area Fact sheet 16: Storm Desmond : 4th to 6th December 2015 This flood hydrology fact sheet contains data and information that is supported by analysis and can confidently be communicated to our customers. However it should be noted that the data has not yet been validated. It is a selection of sites in the Northumberland, Durham & Tees area and further information is available from the hydrology team. Storm Desmond was a low pressure system which passed well to the northwest of the UK, close to Iceland but it brought periods of severe gales with damaging gusts affecting northern England on Friday afternoon and into the night. The frontal systems associated with Storm Desmond resulted in persistent rain falling over parts of northern Britain with the heaviest rain in the NDT area falling over the west facing hills of the South Tyne. Strong winds drove the rain against the Pennines where orographic (1) enhancement produced persistent heavy rainfall which lasted for well over a day. The chart below is taken from the Met Office website and shows the forecast for the th position of Storm Desmond at 0000 on Saturday 5 December. (1) Orographic rainfall is caused when moist air pushed by strong winds is forced up the side of hills and mountains. The lift of the air results in cooling, condensation and increased precipitation. Northumberland, Durham & Tees Hydrology email: Hydrology, NE Table 1 below shows the best rainfall data currently available.

It is not without misgivings that this volume is handed to my kinsmen and namesakes, as a History of'' Two Hundred and Fifty Years of the \Vadsworth Family in America." The subject covers a great deal, and could be extended · ad infinitum. To collect, edit and publish, what really should find a place in the family history, would be the work of at least twenty years, and I find that the family historians of many well known names have been busy at least that time, and still the task is not completed. But the author of this history cannot delay twenty years, ten years, or even five years. The demand for the work will not admit of it. Letters have been received, almost daily, with the question, " How soon will the history be completed?"

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

    Masters of War: The AIF in France 1918 MASTERS OF WAR: THE AIF IN FRANCE 1918 THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFERENCE HELD AT THE POMPEY ELLIOT MEMORIAL HALL, CAMBERWELL RSL BY MILITARY HISTORY AND HERITAGE, VICTORIA. 14 APRIL 2018 Proudly supported by: Masters of War: The AIF in France 1918 Air Power and the Australian Corps in 1918 Dr Michael Molkentin, UNSW Canberra During the First World War the use of aircraft in military and naval operations went from being theoretical and experimental to a new and important dimension of warfare. By the time of the Armistice, the technological, organisational and theoretical foundations of modern air power had been well and truly laid and indeed, aviation had established itself as not only an important component of combined arms surface operations but also as a means of projecting force at the strategic level of warfighting. Australia played a relatively minor role in air power’s extraordinary evolution during this period: Australian airmen were relatively few in number and the handful of aviation units raised by the Commonwealth were both reliant on and subordinate to the British Army’s Royal Flying Corps (RFC – and the Royal Air Force following its establishment in April 1918). Nevertheless, aviation figured in the Australian experience of war in ways that reflected air power’s growing importance in battlefield operations and with relevance to the Commonwealth’s post-war defence plans.1 In keeping with the conference’s themes, this paper examines the role that air power played in the Australian Corps’ operations on the Western Front in 1918.

  • William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development Of
    William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development of the Architectural Profession in North-East England Richard Pears A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology, Newcastle University April 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the emergence of the professional architect in the provinces of eighteenth-century Britain, drawing upon new research into the career of William Newton (1730-1798) of Newcastle upon Tyne. Section I assesses the growth of professionalism, identifying the criteria that distinguished professions from other occupations and their presence in architectural practitioners. It contrasts historians’ emphasis upon innovative designs by artist-architects, such as Sir John Vanbrugh and Robert Adam, with their absence from the realisation of their designs. Clients had to employ capable building craftsmen to supervise construction and this was an opportunity for an alternative practitioner to emerge, the builder-architect exemplified by Newton, offering clients proven practical experience, frequent supervision, peer group recommendation and financial responsibility. Patronage networks were a critical factor in securing commissions for provincial builder-architects, demonstrated here by a reconstruction of Newton’s connections to the north-east élite. Section II reveals that the coal-based north-east economy sustained architectural expenditure, despite national fluctuations. A major proposal of this thesis is that, contrary to Borsay’s theory of an ‘English urban renaissance’, north-east towns showed continuity and slow development. Instead, expenditure was focused upon élite social spaces and industrial infrastructure, and by the extensive repurposing of the hinterlands around towns. This latter development constituted a ‘rural renaissance’ as commercial wealth created country estates for controlled access to social pursuits by élite families.

However, evaluating whether or not this is a systematic trend is difficult because of the lack of longer records. Here we compile and consider an extreme flood record that extends back to 1770. Since 1770 there have been 137 recorded extreme floods. However, over this period, there is not a unidirectional trend of rising extreme flood risk over time. Instead, there are clear flood-rich and flood-poor periods. Three main flood rich periods were identified: 1873-1904; 1923-1933; and 1994-2007. To provide a first analysis of what is driving these periods, and given the paucity of more sophisticated datasets that extend back to the 18th Century, objective Lamb weather types were used. Of the 27 objective Lamb weather types, only 11 could be associated with the extreme floods during the gauged period, and only 5 of these accounted for >80% of recorded extreme floods The importance of these five weather types over a longer timescale for flood risk in Carlisle was assessed, through calculating the proportion of each hydrological year classified as being associated with these flood generating weather types.
