Hello, I have just found the message below in the archives from 2001. So I had to join. James MUNN is my GG-Grandfather. I just recieved his marriage cert today where he very helpfully lists his father's name as "Dead". :-) So it was great to find this message regarding him and his family. I would love to know more about the story below. regards Glenda From: Eve McLaughlin <DisplayMail('#118;#97;#114;#110;#101;#121;#115;#46;#100;#101;#109;#111;#110;#46;#99;#111;#46;#117;#107;','#101;#118;#101;'); eve@varneys.demon.co.uk> Subject: Re: [BKM] HUME /MUNN family of Dagnall ??

The MUNN family definitely lived in Dagnall (Edlesborough, Bucks). In fact one, Daniel, faced with keeping up with an extravagant second wife, actually robbed a shop and incidentally killed the elderly shopkeeper. I wrote this up in a fairly recent issue of Bucks Ancestor. James, aged 8, was the son of Edward and Hannah Munn of Dagnall (1851 census) - Eve McLaughlin --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun!
