Donne, Dun etc

[Cornish Terrier]

Good work going on here people and I will help as best I can and as I can.

Firstly - Ennys and Ninnes.

Was thinking about this and then checked a book I have on Cornish Surnames.

I would agree with Zenobia in what she said in a previous note given that the names seem to have the same meaning.

Will have to work through the rest at some later time but will try and keep track of the conversation and help where possible.

Sorry Roy, my previous posting to you has obviously confused the issue, since I didn't mean to imply that the John who married Mary Noye in 1624 was a son of William and Jayne.

The best way to sort it is an exchange of more detailed trees, but in case anyone else is confused, I'll have another go at putting down what I understand as briefly as possible.

Paskow and Christian Dun had 3 surviving sons, William (Son 1), Alexander (Son 2) and John (Son 3).

William (Son 1) married Jayne in 1615 and they had a surviving son named John, born 1620. In my interpretation of events, I think that John married Unknown and produced a daughter Mary in 1651 who subsequently married Humphrey Murley in 1671.

Now, we are agreed that John (Son 3) married Mary Noye in 1624, and I believe that they produced a son which they also named John, bap in Paul in 1626. However, your interpretation now differs from mine in that I understand that you think that this son John married Unknown, produced the daughter Mary, who went on to marry Humphrey Murley.

All I'm saying is that the Humphrey Murley line may trace back to William (Son 1) or John (Son 3), and I don't see a way of being sure which is correct.

donne, I was interested in the reference in the CFHS article to a Richowe Donne marrying a Sampson Heyme -- do you know anything more about this couple and any possible descendants?

Thanks for that -- have sent you a PM re the same.

Further up the thread, I mentioned that I had some Will transcriptions and there were some requests for copies. I thought the easiest thing to do was to create a page on my website which would host copies of all the Donne/St Erth transcripts I had. (I realise that for some of the documents this may duplicate other on-line resources).

Anyway, the pdf files can be accessed via www.donne.me.uk/sterthwills/sterthwills.htm

Thanks for the effort here and I will try to get a look at this information as soon as I get the chance.

Just a tad busy right now but have to try and keep in touch with you all.
