Deaths Sep 1892
Rigney Peter 44 Newcastle T. 10b 7

EDIT Maybe not, as too young compared to census 1891

Hmmmm not sure. Difficult one. Thank you though.

Can you spot the other Donnakey siblings?

Ah yes I have just found that marriage and death - DOBSON to DONAKY (or varient) is a little off though! Hmmmm ...

She may be an aunt to the absent Mr Queenan rather than Rose Ann.

Of course, I had not thought of that.

Can you help search for these DONAKEY (DUNNAKER) DONAGHY family members?

All born Middlesbrough, Yorkshire.

Mary: bap 10 Dec 1873
Theresa: bap 11 Jun 1880
William: c. 1887
Louisa (or Elizabeth as you found) c. 1890.

Thank you

You already have Theresa, Martin and William as single in 1911, I'm having trouble tracing them after that, and the surname variations don't help!

Marriages Mar 1918
Donnakey Elizabeth Pennock Middlesbro 9d 1050
Pennock Harold Donnakey Middlesbro 9d 1050

Marriages Sep 1912

Donaghy Teresa McNamee Middlesbro 9d 1178
MCNAMEE John Donaghy Middlesbro' 9d 1178


Marriages Sep 1927
Donaghy Teresa Gibson Middlesbro' 9d 1319
Gibson Joseph Donaghy Middlesbro' 9d 1319

Ah let me stop you! Now, I have Martin and it is probably he died aged 40 (three years too young) in Middlesbrough in 1926.

I am very interested in Theresa (born 1880) and Mary (born 1873) to see what became of them. William I have no idea of. Elizabeth - that is probably her marriage but I have been looking for years for Louisa due to a mistranscription of the census I origionally had.

Thank you.

Ok, so thank you - the 1918 marriage of Elizabeth Donnakey and Harold Pennock, shows here to be 'about 28' the daughter of Martin Donnakey AND through this I also found a baby, Peter Donakey, who was born and died in 1893. So thank you alone for that (not including the info on Rose Ann, who MAY have remarried to a man named Campbell in 1920 in Newcastle before dying there 1930 aged 57 (Free BMD).

Can we look for Elizabeth and Harold Pennock's deaths? Elizabeth was born c. 1890 so I assume Harold was the same (although the name is fairly unusal).

Now the marriage in 1912 for Teresa Donaghy shows here father IS NOT Martin Donnakey, so back to the drawing board. Not recieved a responce yet regarding the 1927 marriage.

I have looked for William Donnakey on the CWGC sight but nothing obvious yet. Any other suggestions?

The name is DUNNAKER and also DUNNAKEY

Here it seems are William and Theresa's marriage:

I can't see a death for William yet ... and still looking for a death for Theresa Pennock, her husband and the deaths of Elizabeth and Harold. Thank you for this help!

Also, only sibling I am now looking for is Mary born c. 1873.

So it appears that in the 20th Century in Middlesbrough this family's name seems to be DUNNAKER or DUNNAKEY/DONNAKEY.

From this, can someone please look-up a death for Mary Morton (nee Dunnaker):

AND I am curious to see who this:

Dunnaker John 25 Middlesbro 9d 622 Scan available - click to view

Can we get a look out on the 1911?

He was born c. 1907 but does not appear in my tree and I wonder if he could be an illegitimate baby to one of the unmarried daughters?!

Thank you
