Hello,

Thank you so much for your information and hard work. I actually did know all the above information, but I want to dig deeper.

JOHN HENRY GUNN was born in Canada but I have no idea where to start as there is so many provinces over there. His older brother ROBERT ALEXANDER was born in Scotland but not sure where, I don't even know if they had any other siblings (there was quite an age gap between them, around 15 years).

It turns out that Annie Vivian was married a secind time in the late 30's. Thomas changed his surname to McDonald, moved to Australia. I have a tree on www.myheritage.com site, I have covered a fair amount of ground but got stuck.

I'd really love to find out Annie Gunn nee O'Connor's siblings, apparently there was 5 boys and 3 girls. Some born in Melbourne, VIC and a few born in New Zealand. I think it goes like this-

DANIEL O'CONNOR and ANNE O'CONNOR nee DWYER had the following children-
Annie
John
William
Charles
Mary
Patrick
Daniel
I'm missing a child somewhere???

I'm on a massive mission but I'd like to try and explore more Daniel O'Connor and his wife Anne and their families, from siblings to parents etc. Also I can't seem to find a death record for Daniel O'Connor or a grave, yet his wifes is in Waikumete in NZ along with 2 of her brothers and nephew and great niece.

Robert Alexander GUNN actually died in a mine accident in the early 1900's.

HMMMM it's very frustrating.
Obviously if you google Dennis Gunn he comes up because he was the first to be convicted on fingerprint evidence and was consequently hung in June 1920. Also having trouble getting his records and various other family members criminal records sent out, lots of run around.

Thank you so much once again for the information you provided it was greatly appreciated. Perhaps you could put me on the right path.

King regards,

Nicole
