Sorry about picture size if anyone can increase it ---great The writing below the photo states number 4
of 7 Brothers is William J Lunn ( age 30/31) Inniskilling Dragoons - killed but no details.?
The photo was published in The Belfast Telegraph during 1915 and photo 6 is Samuel -  killed at the Somme Oct 12 th 1916.
Finally I met 6 of  the brothers at a family wedding when I was young but never met William or heard my mother speak of him .I did not knoe of his existence until I saw the 2001 census + his image in the picture.
No one around to check with now alas.

There does seem to be some sort of error.

Hi McCusker

I am fairly certain you are related to a man i met tonight and gave him an excellent photo of Samuel Lunn (Killed in Action in 1916).

Like you he is interested in family tree history and has alot of material and i am told he does not know you. Samuel Lunn would have been his Great Uncle and James was his Grandfather. I can see you are related and your relative married a Lunn.

I would like to connect you to your lost cousin living in Portadown, a gentleman in his mid 80’s. Can you PM me if possible please.

Hello, I am coming in late on this conversation. My grandfather was William Lunn, his father and his before. I know little about my Irish family and wonder if there is a connection to any of you.
William Lunn born in 1920
His father William Lunn married to Annie Mahony,  he was in Kildare barracks RF driver.
His father William Lunn was a ship caulker, I believe from Belfast.
I have no one to ask. I would love to know more about my Irish ancestry. I have his birth /marriage. If you can help or if there are any Lunn connection I would love to hear stories see photos etc thank you

Oh my goodness, Im taken back, I didn't realise there were other children. I'm wondering if father and son worked on any famous ships together.
This may help me track some family from grandad now although there was a rumour from a grt uncle that Grandad may have gone to America.
You were very quick, I wish I had your skills. Thank you

[valkerr]

You're welcome.
It's just knowing where to look.
I can't find any of the Lunn family in the 1911 census.

[Caron knight]

I found a street names listing 1894.
William Lunn caulker, 17 Bentinck Street
On  Lennon Wylie.   Co.uk

I believe I found a sister Hannah Lunn 1920. She may have gone to America/Texas to marry Pat H Crow. I got excited because I thought my grandfather may have joined them and wondered if this may be the reason for not finding census records. Can't find any movement after he left the family home and 3 kids.
Part of me thinks he set up an alternative life in America...🤔
