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.

Recalling the Victoria Hall Disaster Mrs Mackey said: "With my sisters Annie (8), and Dorothy, I was in the gallery to see the conjuring show. When it was announced that toys were to be given away, we all dashed down the stairs only to find the doors closed. We were pushed into a comer and a young girl who only had one leg

placed her crutch in front of us. This prevented us from being trampled upon. "Her action undoubtedly saved the lives of Annie and myself but Dorothy, who was in Annie's arms, died. How the doors were opened I don't know, but I remember a soldier in scarlet tunic carrying me out. I regained consciousness on hearing my mother, who had dashed to the scene, screaming."

He advised her to make all haste as Wooler was at presently overcrowded. On the Monday forenoon the same woman called at the shepherd's house at Dunsdale on the Cheviot Hills, where she was supplied with bread and milk by Mrs Helen Buglass the shepherd's wife. After reading some scripture text on the kitchen walls she asked permission to sing a few hymns which was granted. She then took the tramp to the path to the Tranet in Scotland. On the Friday evening about six o clock Matthew Hall Young, the under shepherd, was near the source of the College Water

25

when about a quarter of a mile from the pole on the top of the Cheviot Hills he found the woman, whose name is unknown, face down on the grass and heather and partly undressed. There were two bundles of meat and bread close by, but life was found to be extinct. An alarm was raised but nothing could be done at that late hour. Word was sent on early Saturday morning to Inspector Kennedy and Mr G Balmain (Relieving Officer). A coffin was ordered to be made which was taken up the hill on the Monday morning. From the precipitous situation on the steep hillside on which the dead body was lying, it was found necessary to prepare a plank especially with ropes before and behind on which to place the coffin. It took eight stalwart shepherds to guide and manage the vehicle for a quarter of a mile down the hillside, after which for the next three quarters of a mile the coffin was conveyed on a sledge, and then at the foot of the hill it was put into a conveyance and was brought to the Dead House at Wooler. The melancholy circumstances connected with this death caused a great sensation in the little town of Wooler’.

‘THE INQUEST’: ‘The Inquest was held on the Monday at the Workhouse in Wooler before Mr Thomas Nicholson, solicitor, Deputy Coroner for North Northumberland. No person was able to identify the deceased. The deceased had been seen by Pc Sinclair in the vicinity of Wooler on Saturday 8th August and she stated that she was going to Tranet. On the following Monday she inquired her way to the house of Ralph Buglass, a shepherd on Cheviot Hills. Mrs Buglass gave her some bread and milk. Matthew Young spoke of finding the body on the Friday. The weather had been very wet and boisterous and the deceased would appear to have lost her way. The Jury found that the deceased was found dead and had probably come to her death by exposure to the weather’.

42

Patrick lived at Ballylinan, Queens County in the mid 1830’s. Ballylinan is close to the ancestral seat of the O’Dunne’s who had been a ruling Clan in central Ireland in the 14th and 15th Centuries.

Patrick was recorded as a schoolmaster on the marriage certificate of his son Thomas Dunne. It is believed that Patrick taught at the Ballylinan National School which had over 200 pupils on its register.

Robert Mochta (Bob) DUNNE (1877-1953) Father. Married Jane POTTER. Birth: 21st September 1877 in Clonsilla, Dublin, Ireland. Marriage: 2nd November 1909 at St Mary's Catholic Church in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Death: 22nd May 1953 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Robert was the eldest son of Thomas and Mary Dunne who at the time of his birth were teachers in Clonsilla, Dublin. The family moved to Co. Derry in 1882.

Robert moved from Ballinascreen, Co. Derry, Ireland to Newcastle upon Tyne, England between 1893 and 1900. He would have left school aged 14 or 15 and as a catholic in Co. Derry at that time employment prospects were very limited.

In the will of his mother Mary, dated 1893 (she died in 1894), Robert and his youngest brother Joseph inherited her houses in Main Street, Celbridge together with the rights of passage to and from the River Liffy. Joseph occupied one of the properties where he worked as a baker until his death in 1914.

In the 1901 census Robert was recorded as living as a border at 17 Windsor Terrace, Jarrow with John Auld and his family and he was employed as a barman.

At the time of his marriage in 1909 Robert was resident at 59 Cookson St, Newcastle and was working in the Swan Hunter shipyard. Family history informed us that he worked there on the building of famous Cunard Liner RMS Mauretania where he met his future wife Jane Potter.

In the 1911 census Robert was recorded as living at 143 Westgate St, Newcastle and employed as a Bar Manager.

It is unknown as to whether Robert was ever informed he had inherited any property in Celbridge. Robert’s father Thomas was residing in one of the properties in Celbridge (probably Robert’s) in 1901 but by 1911 had also moved to Newcastle upon Tyne to live with daughter Agnes. Thomas died of dementia in 1912.

In 1913 Robert was resident at 153 Jefferson St, Newcastle.

In December 1918 was employed as a Checker at The Ordnance Factory.

In the 1939 Register he was recorded as living at 23 Ash Street, Newcastle, employed as a bar manager. For some years he managed the Trafalgar Inn, New Bridge Street, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Recorded in the Newcastle Police Licensing Register is a report of a police raid at 10.55pm on 17th April 1942 at The Trafalgar Inn. Robert Dunne was found serving liquor after hours to a group of customers including Mary Malia, Kathleen Crooney, her sister and others who were all relatives of his daughter in law Margaret. The licensee Allan Brownwell, who owned the majority of the Inns in the Scotswood Road area, was fined £5 with 42 shillings costs.

Robert (and his wife Jane) should have been relatively well off at the time of his death as he had inherited valuable property in Ireland and his wife Jane having also inherited a considerable sum from her Aunt in 1949. There were however no signs of such wealth when he died.

Thomas DUNNE (1837-1912) Grandfather. Married Mary HAMPSON. Birth: 1837 in Ballylinan, Queens County, Ireland. Marriage: 14th April 1874 in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland. Death: 7th September 1912 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Thomas met his future wife Mary whilst they were both working as teachers in Naas, Co Kildare in about 1873. They married in 1874. In 1877 he was appointed head teacher, and Mary as assistant teacher at the National school in Clonsilla, Dublin. The Ireland Archives holds the School Board Minute Books and they record that in 1882 Thomas and Mary were warned about irregularities in the accounts following an audit. This audit related to pupil numbers as well as spending. There were similar entries regarding previous teachers and assistants at the school. It is quite probable that the School Board put pressure on the schools to maintain pupil numbers. Thomas and Mary resigned from Clonsilla School a few months later to take up positions as teachers at Moneyneena School in Co. Derry on salaries of £35 each per annum.

In 1887 Thomas found himself in trouble with the authorities. He was tried twice and eventually acquitted at Londonderry Quarter Sessions for riot after a disturbance in Moneyneena when Sheriff’s Bailiffs and police were prevented from repossessing tenant farmers' homes and land within the Skinners Estates. The details of the case recorded by the Clerk of the Court are as follows:- "Charged that he with others on the 17th April 1887 in the Parish of Balinascreen in the County of Londonderry unlawfully and riotously assembled and made a riot". Secondly that "he with others on the day aforesaid

45

unlawfully and tumultuosly did assemble and continue together for a long space of time". Thirdly that "he assualted John Kavanagh a bailif". Nine witnesses were called for the defence and the jury could not agree a verdict. He was released on bail to appear at a later date for a retrial. The retrial occurred one month later. He was found not guilty on all three counts and discharged.

The local Member of Parliament Mr McArton raised the issue of the evictions in the House of Commons in August 1887. The exchange is recorded in Hansard. He asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; "With reference to the evictions which were carried out on the Skinners' Estate, near Draperstown, County Derry, in April last, whether he can now state the amount of expenses incurred in sending the 250 policemen, County Inspector, District Inspectors, Resident Magistrates, and Divisional Magistrate from their different stations to and from the scene of the evictions, the expenses incurred by them during their stay in the neighbourhood, and the amount paid for cars and other vehicles employed by them in connection with these evictions; and, the number of persons then evicted, and the amount due for rent and costs respectively"?

The Parliamentary Under Secretary, Colonel King-Harman MP for Kent, Isle of Thanet replied "The cost to the public of the Royal Irish Constabulary, both officers and men, present at the evictions referred to was, omitting fractions of a pound, as follows:- Railway fares, £90; car hire, £185; extra pay, £196, or a total of £471; and for the Resident Magistrate a sum of £2 and 2 shillings. The number of persons evicted was 36. The Government cannot take it upon themselves to endeavour to answer the remaining portion of the question. It is obvious that when called upon to assist in enforcing legal process the Government cannot be influenced by the proportion which the cost of doing so bears to the amount due".

Mr McArton followed up "Is The Right Hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that the tenants evicted number six, and that the rent due was £118?" Col. King-Harman said, he was not aware of the amount of rent due, and did not see the necessity for inquiry.

In October 1891 Thomas and Mary started an evening school at Moneyneena School. The school opened from 7pm to 9pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The 61 pupils attending in 1892 included 18 men over 21 years of age and 43 men and women between the ages of 14 and 20 years of age. The pupils were taught reading, writing, arithmetic and book-keeping. The literacy rate for adults in the Parish reached 85%. The national average at that time was 68%.

In 1893 a dispute arose between the head teachers of two schools at nearby Draperstown over the alleged poaching of some pupils. The dispute led to an inspection of the all the schools in the Parish by the National School Inspector. The Inspector reported: ”Have the teachers of this Parish nothing better to do but sell bicycles, lamp oil and wire, and be insurance agents, solicitor’s clerks, etc? The teachers are getting money from every source, they even make their own whiskey too.” The ring leader of the various nefarious activities was said to be Daniel McGuigan, a Great Grand Uncle of World Champion boxer Barry McGuigan.

Thomas’s wife Mary died in 1894 and left Thomas the sum of £5 in her will. She left valuable property and money from her savings accounts to her children. She also left the sum of £5 to the church. Thomas retired from teaching in 1900 and moved from Moneyneena to Celbridge.

46

In the 1901 census of Ireland Thomas was recorded as a widower living at property number 61 in Main Street, Celbridge with son William aged 13.

In the 1911 census, he was recorded as residing at 25 Mansfield St, Newcastle with daughter Mary, son Albert and Albert's wife Sara.

Ellen Rose HAMPSON (1850-1923) Great Aunt. Sister of Paternal Grand Mother. Married to Thomas COLEMAN and later to William WARREN. Birth: 1850 in Celbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland First marriage: August 1878 in Celbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland. Second marriage: 1904 in Celbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland. Death: 1926 in Dublin, Ireland.

Ellen and her first husband Thomas were tenants of the White Hart Inn, Main Street, Celbridge. Previous tenants of the Inn had included Richard and Elizabeth Guinness, from 1745 to 1755, followed by Richard’s son Arthur Guinness who first brewed his stout there before founding the Guinness brewing empire in 1759.

Thomas Coleman died in 1901 and in 1904 Ellen married William Warren, a one-time wealthy farmer and widower, of Oldtown House, Celbridge. He had been a regular drinker at the Coleman's White Hart Inn. The Inn was next door to the home of the Chief Constable of the Royal Irish Constabulary.

White Hart Inn on right of picture c1865

In the 1911 census she was recorded as living in Main Street, Celbridge with her two sons, Joseph and Robert Coleman who were recorded as farmers, presumably working on Warren’s farm.

In 1914 the Dublin Daily Express reported that William Warren had petitioned Dublin High Court for the nullification of a post-nuptial agreement between himself and Ellen on the grounds that he had been drunk when he proposed to her, and drunk when they married in St Patrick's RC Church, Celbridge. The agreement entitled her to his 400 acre farm and other assets in the event of his death (minus two £100 payments to his daughters from a previous marriage). He claimed he was drunk when he had signed the agreement.

In fact his whole case was based on the claim he was a perpetual drunk for most of the period from 1900 to 1914. The court heard that he had actually been convicted of being drunk and incapable on 20 occasions during that period.

The witnesses at the wedding were Mary Dunne, the wife of Celbridge postman Patrick, and William Martin who was the Parish Clerk, neither of whom Warren claimed to know. The priest, Father Francis J Maguire, was said to have been very elderly and very 'tired' and had since died.

52

Ellen's case was that the marriage took place late evening as her two sons were against her marrying Warren. Her barrister, Serjeant Matheson KC, asked Warren why he would have been dressed in a top hat and tails if he was drunk and unaware he was to be married, a question he was unable to answer. The case was adjourned and on 29th July 1914 Mr Justice Barton ruled in favour of Ellen dismissing the claim by her husband.

It later transpired that the farm and Oldtown House had been mortgaged to other local farmers in lieu of debts and the estate was virtually worthless when Warren died in 1919.

It is believed that Ellen’s two sons both migrated to Australia in about 1914.

David joined the Merchant Navy at the age of 18 and quickly rose through the ranks to become a Master Mariner.

Relatively early in his career he was captured and detained by General Franco's army during the Spanish Civil War after sailing into Spanish waters with supplies for the Republicans.

David later served as throughout WW2 as Ships’ Master (Captain).

He was awarded the OBE in 1944. The Yorkshire Post of 30th August 1944 reported:

"Captain David Henderson Hogg of Townsville Avenue, Monkseaton, Northumberland was awarded the OBE for bravery. His ship was sailing alone at night when it was torpedoed and began to settle. The crew were forced to take to the life boat and some rafts. After 15 minutes Captain Hogg decided to re-board the ship, but as he was doing so it was torpedoed for a second time and began to sink. The submarine then surfaced and rammed one of the rafts. Captain Hogg took over the life boat and picked up several members of the crew from the sea. He set course for the nearest land which was 450 miles away. The life boat reached port safely after 6 days. Captain Hogg said that he took 37 crew men in the life boat and picked up a further three men from the rammed raft. Out of a crew of 43 he managed to get 41 men on board the life boat. He had been ordered by the U boat to come alongside or be machine-gunned. He refused and continued to search for the two missing crew members. The U Boat Commander then ordered his submarine to dive. Captain Hogg carried on his search and recovered Chief Officer Clementson from the sea. Clementson was in a very serious condition suffering from machine gun wounds. Clementson died during the journey to port. This was the third occasion Captain Hogg had been torpedoed by German U Boats. Captain Hogg went to sea as a deck hand at 18. He is now aged 40 and is married with two children. His OBE was awarded for his indomitable spirit in the face of repeated adversity”.

After the war ended further information was revealed. Captain HOGG had been the Master of the Merchant Steam Vessel Dalfram, owned by Campbell Brothers, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Previous to this encounter the MV Dalfram had been struck by a mine in May 1942 off the coast of South Africa whilst sailing from New York. Captain Hogg managed to guide the ship to port where it was repaired.

On 4th August 1943 the unescorted ship was attacked in the Indian Ocean by U-Boat 181 commanded by Kapitan Wolfgang Luth. The ship was carrying 5,000 tons of coal from South Africa to Aden.

Hazel was born at Scott, SK in 1913 where she grew up with her two sisters and three brothers. She was 91 years of age and was physically and mentally active until the last two months. Her husband, Ernie predeceased her in 1985; and her son, Dale predeceased her in 1984. Hazel is survived by her son, Russell (Pat); Dales's wife, Charlene Zentner (Neil); her grandchildren: Todd Buglass (Tiffany), Kim Jorgenson (Brad), Sharolyn Buglass and David Buglass (Meg); her great grandchildren: Mathew Buglass, Andra Buglass, Mads Jorgenson and Alexander Buglass;

Hazel's loves were her and her husband's extended family and the many friends she made when growing up at Scott and living in Indian Head for 60 years. She enjoyed visiting, writing letters, dancing, gardening and painting. She was committed to St. Andrew's United Church in Indian Head where she worshipped, acted as secretary for the ministers and helped in other activities of the congregation. The sadness of her later years was outliving many friends and family members. The joy was the love of children, the kindness and decency of the people in her community and the ceremony and satisfaction in a family meal. Hazel always looked for the goodness in people and never had a bad thing to say about others, even though she might disapprove of particular conduct. Right to the last days of her life she prayed for guidance to know what she ought to do about life and about death. All those who knew her will miss her.

Despite being greatly outnumbered (facing seven German Divisions) the Green Howards held their position until nightfall when they retired.

An explanation of relationship terms

Cousin or first cousin: Your first cousins are the people in your family who have two of the same grandparents as you. In other words, they are the children of your aunts and uncles.

Second Cousin: Your second cousins are the people in your family who have the same great-grandparents as you, but not the same grandparents.

Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cousins: Your third cousins have the same great-great- grandparents, fourth cousins have the same great-great-great-grandparents, and so on.

Removed: When the word "removed" is used to describe a relationship, it indicates that the two people are from different generations. You and your first cousins are in the same generation (two generations younger than your grandparents), so the word "removed" is not used to describe your relationship. The words "once removed" mean that there is a difference of one generation. For example, your mother's first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. This is because your mother's first cousin is one generation younger than your grandparents and you are two generations younger than your grandparents. This one-generation difference equals "once removed." Twice removed means that there is a two-generation difference. You are two generations younger than a first cousin of your grandmother, so you and your grandmother's first cousin are first cousins, twice removed.

Thus, the generation born to Joseph, Jenny and Nora Dunne would need to add one ‘great’ or be once more ‘removed’ to those in the above list, and the following generation would add two ‘greats’ or be twice more ‘removed’, and so on.
