Have you used FamilySearch.org? That has a database of the census, 1880 US, & 1881 for Canada.

In order to help you, we need to know more details, especially the time line and the surname of each person.

Do you have any specific dates of birth, marriage, or death?

To identify a person positively, we need the maiden name of the wife.

It is also easier to read if you use standard capitalization and punctuation except to capitalize entirely the SURNAME, like that.

You could do the FamilyTree Y-DNA test. Go to FamilyTreeDNA.com. Find the Dunham site. Then find the price for the number of markers you would like. The 37-marker test should be sufficient, $156, or you could even test only 25. The two main lines that have surfaced are from Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth Colony and the descendants of Richard Singletary who used the name Dunham. It's interesting to see the various haplogroups for people with the same surname.

After going back to the 1880 census, I noticed that Frank Dunham has both of his parents listed as born in MA. I can't find any reference to either Martin Dunham or his wife Margaret Denner. It's possible that I have the names wrong. I can't think of a way of making sure without a birth certificate for Frank where both his parents names might be listed

Frank Dunham and Hannah Hayes seem to be as far back as I can go with any reliability. Beyond that, it seems a lost trail.

Re: Frank Dunham - Hannah Hayes

I just went back and checked the 1880 census and Martin Dunham, Frank's father was not from Ireland after all, but from MA. I was told by my sister, that she thought Martin was from Ireland, but she was clearly wrong. He married Margaret Denner from Ireland. I'll do some more research tonight to see if I can find him. He must have lived in or around Boston or on the South Shore somewhere. My Grandfather, William James Dunham, (Frank's son), was born in Plymouth in 1869, was married in Quincy in 1902 and died in 1935.

My dad used to tell me our roots were in Plymouth, but he grew up in Dorchester and Quincy. I need to find some reference to Martin to make the right links.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Frank Dunham - Hannah Hayes

No, my line is from Deacon John of Plymouth Colony.

How do you know that Martin was born in Ireland?

Re: Frank Dunham - Hannah Hayes

gregorydunham — 2009-11-20 22:33:29Z

Yes, that is my father William J. Dunham (1910-1977), he was living in Ohio when he died. That would be him on the 1920 census age 9, living with W. J. and Margaret (Souter). I missed that on the 1920 census.

I found Frank & Hannah and their children on the 1880 census. One of their children was William, my grandfather. I can't find any further references to their other children and have no idea what became of them or any children they may have eventually had.

As far as Martin Dunham goes, I only know he was born in Ireland and must have been in Boston at least as early as 1832, when his son Frank was born there. I didn't see him on the 1840 census and I haven't found any reference to him in Ireland or on other US Censuses or marriage or death certificates. The same is true for his wife Margaret Denner of Ireland.

Are you related in some way to this branch of the Dunham family?

Frank Dunham - Hannah Hayes

MarilynRoth58 — 2009-11-20 19:55:33Z

Do you know other places that Martin DUNHAM lived? I tried unsuccessfully to find him on censuses.

I only found Frank in 1880, at FamilySearch: Naponset, Boston, Suffolk, MA, DUNHAM
Frank, 48, MA MA MA;
Hannah, 40, MA IRL MA
Ch. b. MA: George, 9; Kate, 14; William, 11; Minnie, 8; & Frank, 6.

Pilot.familysearch.org has William J., 9, with W. J. & Margaret, Dorchester, Boston, MA, 1920.

Social Seurity Death Index doesn't have any William J. to fit, but it has a William (22 Nov. 1910, SSN issued Massachusetts - Jan. 1977, last res. Dayton, Montgomery, OH). Is that your William J.?

TEAMSTER IS DROWNED

Sapulpa, Okla., Aug.18 -(Special)-

While fording Pole Cat creek with two other men and a
team and wagon, Floyd R. Dunham, a teamster in the
oil field, was drowned late last night.

The stream was unusually high due to the heavy rain
of yesterday, and when they reached the ford in the
darkness, the horses plunged in and all were carried
down stream. The other two men and the team swam
ashore.

Martin Dunham, Frank Dunham, Hannah Hayes family search

gregorydunham — 2009-11-11 14:27:03Z

I'm searching for information on the Martin Dunham line of Dunham's. He was married to Margaret Denner both from Ireland. They had a son Frank Dunham born in Boston, 1832, married to Hannah Elizabeth Hayes of Andover, MA, born in 1840. Their son William James Dunham is my grandfather born in 1869. Frank & Hannah had four other children, George, Kate, Minnie & Frank Dunham.

My grandfather William James Dunham married Margaret C. Souter in 1902. She was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1881. William & Margaret had 2 children William James Dunham (my father), and Margaret (Peg) Dunham. Margaret Souter's parents were, Alexander Souter and Margaret Smith, both presumably from Scotland.

Any information on this line would be greatly appreciated.
