Searching for Kate Dunne, formerly of Ballyporeen

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I did not have any success with finding a civil birth record for Kate or Thomas Dunne. I did find two 1901 census records both in Ballywilliam townland in Templetenny civil parish. The first record is for the Michael English family which includes a step son Thomas Dunne age 18. I found a Russell family in the same townland with a Kate Dunne age 20 as a servant. There was also a 19 year old Thomas Dunne another servant in the household. This may be a different Thomas or possibly Thomas Dunne was enumerated in both households.

I could not find anymore about Kate but there are some trees on Ancestry for Thomas. Patrick Dunne was previously married to Catherine Clancy (1842-1878). Kate and Thomas' half siblings are John 1864, Dennis 1866, Mary 1869, Alice 1871, Hanora 1874, and Ellen 1876.
Thomas went to New York City where he spent the rest of his life. Although on the 1930 census he shows immigration in 1912, there is a ship passenger list from 1906 showing a Thomas Dunne from Ballyporeen going to Lynn, Massachusetts.
Per the 1930 census, Thomas married Mary E.? about 1919. Mary E. was born in New York about 1892. She died before the 1940 census. Thomas was a watchman at an electric company.
