John E. Gunning b1871, Married Jennie A. Walsh b1872, at St. Mary's Help of Christian, East Orange, New Jersey on 7 June 1891. According to the 1910 US Census they were still living in East Orange New Jersey and had the following Children:

Michael E. Gunning - b1895,
Clarence Gunning - b1897,

John F. Gunning - b1901,
Andrew D. Gunning - b1903,

All Birth Years are approximate. Possible Castlerea connection to Jennie Walsh. Any help would be much appreciated.

My grandfather was Terence Gunning. He was John Gunning's younger brother. I have traced the Gunning genealogy to 1775. They came from County Sligo Ireland. Patrick Gunning, John and Terence's father, came to the US at age 6 in 1850. I have a lot of stories if you are interested.

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for your reply.

My Mother is Kate Walsh from Cloonchambers, Castlerea, County Roscommon. Her father was James Walsh who may have been a brother of Jenny Walsh.

Do you know if this is true or not?

Thanks again
Martin

Sorry, I didn't research the Walsh Family. My Grandfather Terence Gunning married Katherine Flynn from Roscommon but that's the only connection I have.

If I run into information I will forward it to you.

Hi Chris,
