London 1769 and Anna Maria TOURNER born London 1771. It seems that at least one of their children William, b. 1787 according to census records was born in France. It is possible other siblings Isaac TOURNER b c1781, Mary TOURNER and Elizabeth TOURNER were also born in France. All the children were living in England (London) by 1800. Given the turbulent times in France at the end of the Eighteenth Century finding this family will not be easy, I keep my fingers crossed. 2007-06-19 07:47:11Z sallie_ramsay http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.dunkirk/2/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.dunkirk/1/mb.ashx MORRISONVILLE - Charles Kenneth "Kenny" Dunkirk, 76, of Morrisonville died Wednesday, May 18, 2005, at St. John's Hospital. <br><br>He was born Oct. 9, 1928, in rural Morrisonville, the son of Albert Alvin and Juanita Allen Malsbury Dunkirk.
