I feel sure someone with the name of Howard Gillman Daunt is a descendant of the 3 Jun 1795 marriage at St Peters Cork City between Achilles Daunt and Miss Mary Gillman (See Marriage License Bonds). It wouldn't surprise me if your Howard was their son in fact. And they were landed Gentry (C of I) from Tracton Abbey, near Carrigaline, Co Cork. I doubt any of them ended up as a shoemaker unless they were a black sheep or something. The Daunts always had plenty of money. Achilles Daunt was most likely the son or grandson of William Daunt, of Tracton Abbey. You will see a photo of his plaque on the Tracton Abbey church as it stands today. (His fellow builder was my ancestor George Hodder.) http://www.corkrecords.com/RingabellaTourists/RingabellaTourists.htm William Daunt of Tracton married Jane Austin in 1753 at Killagran church. Another Daunt Gillman marriage: On the Casey index there is a Gillman will of Frances Gillman 1845 who leaves money to, among others, John Daunt son of my nephew Achilles Daunt, Thomas Daunt late Major in 2nd West India Regiment. Thomas Daunt appears in the Holy Trinity Cork Parish register. The LDS IGI index records Frances who will is above, as the daughter of John Gillman and Mary Daunt. My great great grandmother's sister Helen Maguire Fowler married one Achilles deCourcy Daunt who was from this Tracton Daunt family. The name of one of their grandsons George Gillman Daunt b 1865 near Garrigaline . So I am pretty sure this whole family too are descended from this Daunt/Gillman marriage. Since this family is only related to me by marriage I havent really concerned myself too much with the details. There are people who know a lot more about these Daunts of Cork than I do and many of them have been at it for years. The St Peters parish registers and Holy Trinity, Christchurch, Cork are available at the RCB Library in Dublin and both include Daunts. But Tracton registers were lost in the Four Courts fire.

Huge thank you to all for your ideas and will follow up on the Cobh heritage Centre and the websites for the RCBL. Will also get the book: I think the Grenham one is the most easily available even though it's 2006. Also thanks for the terrific website of Cork records. Re the Gillman Daunt name: it seemed when I started that there had to be a connection to the Gillman Daunt marriages, but it doesn't seem to be straightforward and I've been down several blind alleys with this. Howard Gillman Daunt named his first son Benjamin Achilles too.... He used the middle name Holmes for his next sons who were twins. Sometimes I wonder if maybe he had delusions of grandeur, or maybe he was a dispossessed / younger / rebellious son. Howard Gillman Daunt lived in Dublin as a clockmaker / engineer / inspector of gas works / employee finally of the Dublin gas meter company, which isn't particularly grand, but was a living. His father was John and a shoemaker, according to HG's second marriage certificate when he was quite elderly in 1874. There is a John Daunt shoemaker listed in one of the Cork directories in 1810, which is near the year of HG Daunt's birth, and that is my best possibility so far. I am assuming at the moment that he probably moved from Cork, but of course, he could have been born in Dublin, won't know until I find some kind of record of birth / baptism. So, all thoughts welcome! What a great list this is Caroline -----Original Message----- From: Kae Lewis [mailto:kae@chartertn.net] Sent: 12 September 2010 04:58 To: irl-cork@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Daunt I feel sure someone with the name of Howard Gillman Daunt is a descendant of the 3 Jun 1795 marriage at St Peters Cork City between Achilles Daunt and Miss Mary Gillman (See Marriage License Bonds).
