     George Dunbar was born illegitimate before 1511 in Ross & Cromarty, Scotland. George was legitimated with his brothers on 6th March 1539/40 as natural sons of the late Patrick Dunbar.
He may be the same person as George of Avoch/Kilmuir. He was the son of Patrick Dunbar.

     George Dunbar was born before 1557. He was the eldest natural son but predeceased his father! There is great confusion here and much more work needs to be done.

     George died between 1601 and 1607. Described as "Apparent of Avoch" 27 June 1601. But he was supposed to have predeceased his father, as his brother John succeeded. Possibly he had a son George who is mentioned in 1614 and possibly in 1619.

Geo Smelhome, Jerome Lindsey ... all of Scotch birth or blood, whereby they are released from the yoke of servitude of the Scotch, Irish or any other nation or blood, and entitled to enjoy all the rights of Englishmen 12 Feb 16th.
A denizen was generally a person resolved to remain in Ireland and protect himself and his acquisitions by legal process. He could use the law courts but was unqualified to held any office of trust, civil or military, and was incapable of receiving any grants from the Crown. Needless to say he was debarred from becoming a member of the Council or a Parliament. [Although denization is the word used in the grant it is known that James I conferred "naturalization".] Note that a John Dunbar of Carrickfergus (Antrim) was naturalized Nov 28, 1617.

     George Dunbar and James Somerville were mentioned in a civil court action on 24 May 1671. Chancery bill, between Irwin pltf & Callwell & Somerville defts: Christopher Irwin of Edinburgh, Doctor of Physic, sheweth that William Cathcart of Bardonagh, co. Fermanagh, was about 1614 possessed of Dromcroe, Drumborony, Courtloone and Turnagowan in the proportion of Dromcroe, together with the barrs of the mountains in the barony of Magheraboy by lease of 61 years to him made by John Dunbar kt, at £10 per acre. About 1639 William Cathcart did sell the said lands, together with the barrs of the mountains thereto belonging for the remainder of the term for the sum of £300, paid to him by Christopher Irwin of Lowtherstown, dec. father of your orator. He further sheweth that Geo Dunbar of Braugh in the said county, gent. brother of the sd John Dunbar, being seized of one great tate of land called the Braugh, together with Killybeg and ? Comehill, being barrs of the mountains thereto belonging, did jointly with his brother John Dunbar, enfeofe Christopher Irwin of the same in 1637. Your orator's father in 1639, in consideration of the marriage of your orator, with Margaret Wishart, daughter of James Wishart of Glenteverin in the said county, settled said lands and said lease on your orator, who continued in quiet possession till the rebellion of 1641. Orator's father had some years before his death become bound to Sir Gerard Lowther for a debt of £50 due by Mary Callwell, widow, afterwards married to Henry Longford of Enniskillen, which he (Irwin) had to pay. Some controversy having arisen between Longford and himself, the whole matter was referred to Dean Bartley of Clogher, and Mr Hugh Bartley of Lifford co. Donegal, clerk, who ordered Longford to repay to Christopher Irwin, the £50, which was accordingly done, yet in 1653 Longford made his complaint to one Colonel Barrow, a colonel under the usurped powers, who committed Chr. Irwin to gaol, till he should either repay the £50, or give surety to abide by an arbitration. Thereupon Chr. Irwin did about the 10 June 1653, did engage the quarterland great tate and the premises to Henry and Mary Longford & James Callwell, son of the said Mary, with the condition that if Christopher Irwin should not bring his arbitrator, Major Hugh Ross, to Enniskillen, to end all differences between the said parties, and to stand to certain arbitrators not named in the deed, or to an umpire to be chosen, the the said deed of mortgage to remain in full force. No award was ever made; yet Henry and Mary Longford, (who took the management upon her), got possession of the said lands; and Henry being deceased, she made them over to James Callwell, who sold them to Richard Dunbar, late of Derrygonnelly, grandchild to said John Dunbar; who left the four great tates or quarterland of Drumcroe & Drumborony, Callone, Turmagowan and Barwinlahorke, with the barrs of the mountains, between Dame Anna Catherina Hamilton alias Dunbar, his widow and relict, since married to James Somerwell of Tullykelter and Catherine Dunbar, an infant of about 3 years of age, daughter of Sir Richard & Anna Catherina; and the other great tate of Braugh to William Dunbar of Kilcow, co. Fermanagh. He therefor prays that they may be put upon their title by oath etc.

     George Dunbar 10th Earl of Dunbar & March was born circa 1370 in Scotland. He succeeded as the 10th and last Earl of March. He was the son of George Dunbar 9/10th Earl and Christiana Wardlaw.
     George Dunbar 10th Earl of Dunbar & March married Beatrix Unknown (Dunbar).
     George Dunbar 10th Earl of Dunbar & March was mentioned on 23 November 1411.
     On 7 August 1421 he had a dispensation to marry Alicia, dauaghter of Sir William Hay of Yester, though it is doubtful the marriage took place. He was knighted in 1424.
     In 1434 the seized the castle of Dunbar and the parliament of Perth having declared the forfeiture of the earl, confiscated his estate, and annexed it to the crown. The estate of Kilconquhar in Perth, being held under the bishop of St Andrews, was saved from forfeiture. King Henry IV gave the fugitive earl a grant ... where he is called Sir George de Dunbar, Kt. His only son Patrick, styled of Kilconquhar, was father of Patrick Dunbar who married Janet, youngest of the 3 co-heirs of Patrick Dunbar of Mochrum, and got, as his share, Mochrum Loch. ... The families of Dunbar now existing are derived from Sir Alex Dunbar of Westfield, sheriff of Moray, which estate he got from his sister, the heir to her father James Dunbar, 5th Earl of Moray which see [Burke's Extinct & dormant peerage, p.607].
     George, eleventh and last of the Earls of Dunbar, is first named in 1385, when he was in command of the garrison of Cockburnspath, and was permitted to buy victual in England. On 27 March 1390, King Robert II granted to him all wards and reliefs, and his own marriage when it should happen, due from the earldom of March and tile lordship of Annandale. Failing the ward, etc., of George himself, the King granted the same to his other brothers living, as the order of their age required, to Wawan (or Gavin), Colin, Patrick, or John. In March 1399, he had a safe-conduct to go 'beyond seas, but he is included with the other members of his family in August 1100, when they left Scotland. Passing by some minor notices of him, it is not clear when he succeeded his father, but he was certainly Earl 31 March 1423, and later, when he is named as such in several charters relating to the barony of Tibbers and other lands. It is probably he who, after a long interval of silence, is named in the English records, on 17 February 1423, as a commissioner to treat of the liberation of King James I, and he continues to be named in connection with the King's release. His eldest son was also for some time a hostage.' He was one of those who, under the King's presidency, tried and condemned the Regent Murdac, Duke of Albany, and his family to death. He himself seems to have lived peacefully and loyally, and taken little part in public life; but in 1433, according to Bower, in pursuance of the King's policy of enriching the Crown at the expense of the greater nobles, he was warded in Edinburgh Castle, and his castle of Dunbar was seized. In the following year Parliament declared his earldom and estates to be forfeited to the Crown, but the reasons for this are not given in any extant record, though Bower, who gives the date of the Parliament as 7 August 1434, says it was on account of his father's misdeeds. The Earl submitted quietly to his deprivation, and henceforth resided on his estate of Kilconquhar, in Fife, which being held of the Bishop of St. Andrews, was not affected by the forfeiture. He is henceforth referred to as Sir George Dunbar of Kilconquhar, and survived until 4 August 1455, when he was residing at Kilconquhar, but probably died not long after that date.
     His seal, which he used even after his forfeiture, shows a shield bearing a lion rampant within a bordure charged with eight roses.' Crest, On a tilting helmet with capeline and coronet, a horse's head bridled. Supporters, Two lions sejant guardant with a tree behind each. Legend, 'SIGILLUM GEORGII DE DUNBAR- COMITIS MARCHIE'.
     George Dunbar 10th Earl of Dunbar & March lived at Kilconquhar, Fife, 4 August 1455. He probably died shortly after.
     George died between 1455 and 1457 in Fife, Scotland.

     George Dunbar 9/10th Earl was born circa 1336 in Scotland. John Ravilious states he was born in 1368. George Dunbar was a 7th cousin twice removed of King Erik X and he was a 4th cousin twice removed of Philippa of Lancaster, the wife of Erik X.
He was the nephew of both Patrick & Agnes, siblings of his parents, and succeeded as 9th Earl. He was the son of Sir Patrick Dunbar and Isabella Randolph.
     See Oxford Dictionary of National Biography for an account of his life.
     George Dunbar 9/10th Earl married Christiana Wardlaw.
     His first appearance on record is in 1363, when, on 28 June, King David II confirmed to him a grant of one-half of the baronies of Tibbers and Morton, in Dumfriesshire, which Patrick, Earl of March, and Agnes, his wife, had resigned, in his favour. These were Randolph estates, and the Earl and Countess therefore only resigned one-half, while the other no doubt was inherited from his mother.
     In May in 1367 he was a witness to a charter by Earl Patrick and his wife to the monks of Durham, where he is described as their 'cousin'.
     On 25 July 1368 he received from King David II two charters, the first of the baronies of Cumnock, Blantyre, Glenken, and Mochrum, in the counties of Ayr and Lanark, and 'sheriffdom of Dumfries,' resigned by Patrick of Dunbar, Knight, last Earl of March, and the second of the earldom of March, also resigned by the last Earl. The terms used seem to imply that Earl Patrick was still alive, but no longer Earl, and the references to the Earl of March after the above date appear to relate to George.
     George Dunbar 9/10th Earl lived at Mochrum, Wigtownshire, Scotland, from 1368. In 1368 he received the baronies of Cumnock, Blantyre, Glenken & Mochrum, etc.
     Patrick, Earl of Dunbar (cousin of George according to many, great-uncle according to others) resigned the earldom to King David II, evidently in early 1368. George Dunbar then had a charter from King David II granting him the Earldom of March, dated at Stirling, 25 Jul 1368. This was a resignation and regrant with a special destination. This was a very common matter with Scottish peerages. Just because the mechanism used in these cases was a resignation and regrant does not mean that the title ceased to exist and that a new title was granted. Resignations and regrants were often also used to have a confirmation of the family in their lands. There would have been no purpose in the regrant to George, if he had been the heir in any case. There does not appear to have been a contest between George and the "true" heir, in the person of another Dunbar. However, if Sir Patrick Hepburn of Hailes did in fact marry the daughter and eventual heiress of Patrick Earl of Dunbar, then there was every reason why the Earl might have wanted the title to stay in the Dunbar family, rather than go to the Hepburns.
Of course later the Hepburns were a proud and prominent family, but the Hailes branch were junior to the Waughton branch - the article in SP does not unravel the relationship - and I suspect it would not have been seen as a "good" or at least good enough marriage at the time.
The Dunbars in later times were notable for always marrying off heiresses within the name, to consolidate their power block; this was of course the main reason for (partially) disinheriting heiresses, usually by a tailzie to heirs male.
     He was certainly Earl in June 1369, and he appears in Parliament in March 1369 and February and October 1370. After the accession of King Robert II the Earl was present in Parliament when the Act of Succession was passed, 27 March 1371, and his seal is still affixed to it and to the Act of Confirmation on 4 April 1373. He seems to have resented greatly the presence of the English in his family estate of Annandale, and grievous complaints were made to Edward III in 1376, by the English Chamberlain of Lochmaben Castle, that the rents suffered from the Earl's depredations, which had evidently been made in 1375. In 1377 the Earl of Northumberland complained to the King of Scots as to violence done by the Earl of March at Roxburgh'.
     He was referred to in contemporary sources by 1370-90 as Lord of Annandale and the Isle of Man; Warden of the Marches 1372; took command of the Scots at Otterburn in 1388 after the death of 'Black Douglas"; renounced his allegiance to Robert III in 1400 on that King's eldest son and heir the Duke of Rothesay breaking off his engagement to the 9th Earl's daughter Elizabeth, sided with the English and fought for Henry IV at the Battles of Homildon Hill (defeat of Scots by Harry Hotspur) 1402 and Shrewsbury (against Harry Hotspur, now in rebellion) 1403; after Robert III's death in 1406 the 9th Earl negotiated with the Regent a renewal of allegiance to the Scottish Crown, though at the price of the Lordship of Annandale among other possessions.
     Charter by George Dunbar, earl of March and lord of Annandale adn Man, to Sir John Edmundiston, kt, re land at Smale, etc. Witnessed by John Dunbar, earl of Moray, granter's brother.
     The barony of Cumnock was transferred to David Dunbar of Enterkin, a kinsman [1375?].
     In April 1378 the Earl of Northumberland complained that the Earls of March, Douglas, and others were harassing the English borders, and from a list of lands in 1380, taken from the English, it appears that these nobles, and particularly March, had recovered considerable portions of their estates.
     A later exploit of the Earl's was the capture of the Baron of Greystock, who was appointed keeper of Roxburgh Castle, an event which has been assigned to the year 1384, but must have taken place before November 1382. The Earl was one of the leaders under the Earl of Douglas, in the famous raid into England which ended in the battle of Otterburn on 5 August 1388. After the death of Douglas, March pressed forward with his division, and fought 'right valiantly,' as Froissart has it, so pressing upon the English forces that they gave way.
     In the first part of the year 1400 the Earl's friendly relations to King Robert III underwent a change, owing to the bad faith shown to his daughter by the Duke of Rothesay. In February 1400 the Earl wrote the English King telling him of the insult to his daughter, and desiring a safe-conduct that he might have a personal interview. He also claimed kinship with the King, through their mutual Comyn descent. Henry IV, in the following June, gave the necessary permission for an interview, which probably took place at York, towards which the King was proceeding. Henry was too astute not to encourage a valuable ally, and the result was the transference of the Earl with his whole family to England. One reason of this was that his castle of Dunbar was seized for the Scottish King by the Earl of Douglas, and the lordships of Dunbar and Annandale were forfeited. He became high in Henry's favour, and various manors, Somerton, Clipston, and others, besides considerable sums of money, were bestowed on him. He took service on the Marches, at Martinmas 1401, and in the following year was the chief means of a severe cheek given to the Scots on Nisbet Moor, 22 June 1402. It was his military genius also, added to his knowledge of the Scottish mode of warfare, which gained for the English the battle of Homildon Hill, on 14 September 1402, and at the battle of Shrewsbury, 21 July 1403, he gave advice which tended to save both King Henry's life and his kingdom. For these great services he received considerable rewards in manors and money, and he was allowed to style his own pursuivant 'Shrewsbury Herald.'.
     He was still in England in June 1407, but about that date his name drops from the English records, and he and his Countess appear to have bent their steps northward, if a letter, undated, written by her to King Henry IV is to be attributed to this year, as seems probable.' Whether as a result of this letter or not, a sum of £90 was, in June 1407, given by King Henry to the Earl and his wife, and in the following year the Earl was reconciled to the Regent Albany and restored to his earldom, but in 1409 he was compelled to resign his lordship of Annandale, which for a time became the property of the Earls of Douglas, though he still retained his lordship of Man. After that date he does not appear so frequently, once or twice witnessing charters by the Regent Albany, and on one occasion being called into consultation as to measures of resistance against the Lord of the Isles; while in 1411 he was one of eight Scottish commissioners appointed to negotiate for a truce.'.
     George Dunbar 9/10th Earl was mentioned on 23 November 1411.
     George died of a contagious fever between 1416 and 1420. He was aged 82.
The chronicler Bower records this Earl's death as taking place in, or a little before, the year 1420. This date, however, is uncertain. It is true that a pension from Exchequer ceases between June 1417 and June 1418, but on the other hand he appears to have been still alive in July 1420, and Nisbet gives a copy of a charter to George Inglis of Lochend, of date 8 September 1422, in which the Earl of March, the granter, describes one of the witnesses as 'Christiana my spouse,' suggesting the tenth Earl. The Earl had two seals. First: a lion rampant within an orle of sixteen roses. Crest, On a helmet with capeline and coronet, a horse's head bridled. Supporters, Two lions sejant guardant coue, with a tree beside each. Legend, S. GEORGII DE DUNBAR COMITIS MARCHIE.'
The second seal is similar, but the shield shows a lion rampant within a bordure charged with eight roses, and the legend is 'SIGILLUM GEORGII DE DUNBAR COMITIS MARCHIE.
     The title ended with his son George, 11th Earl of Dunbar & March who succeeded his father when almost 50. He fought on the English side at Homildon Hill as well as at the Battle of Shrewsbury, against Owen Glendower and the Percys. At last, reconciled to the Douglases, he returned to Scotland after the death of Robert III in 1409 and died therein 1420 aged 82. After the forfeiture of his estates & title he retired to England with his eldest son. The title was revived again in 1605 by George Home. [The Scottish nation; Extinct Peerage]

     George, tenth Earl of Dunbar and third or fifth Earl of March, usually known as George, tenth Earl of March, Lord of Man and Annandale, was one of the most prominent members of his family. He was probably born about 1340, and, strange to say, his exact parentage was forgotten or overlooked until a few years ago. It was assumed by the older writers that he was the son of the ninth Earl by Agnes Randolph, notwithstanding that Boece, followed by Lindsay of Pitscottie, casts a doubt on that relationship, plainly hinting that George was the son of a sister of Agnes.' Boece indeed expressly says that Agnes Randolph had no issue a statement not repeated by Pitscottie. In an early ms. of Fordun's Annales also it is stated that Sir Patrick of Dunbar, who fought at Poictiers, and afterwards went towards the Holy Land, was the father of George, afterwards Earl of March. Sir Patrick's wife was Isabel Randolph, and as she was sister, and one of the two heiresses of John Randolph, third Earl of Moray, it is easy to explain how Earl George came to possess the Randolph estates as well as the earldom of March or Dunbar.

     Rev George Herbert Dunbar was born on 12 January 1880 in Ipswich, Queensland. He was the son of Frederick Killigrew Dunbar and Harriet Ledger. George was a clergyman at Queensland from 1907.

     Gospatric, who in one place calls himself Earl, and certainly held the rank and place of Earl or ruler of Lothian, does not appear on record until after 1100, the year of the accession of King Henry I of England, and his earliest mention in Scottish writs is in 1119. Another peculiarity about his designation is that during his lifetime he is never but once, by himself, in a charter to the monks of Coldingham,' styled Earl in Scottish charters. He is referred to, whether as a witness to charters, or a granter or recipient of charters, in nearly every case as Gospatric, brother of Dolfin. In 1119 he is a witness to the charter to the monks of Selkirk, and to. the Inquisition of the see of Glasgow, as well as, later, to the foundation charter of Scone. He has also the same designation in the first grant to Holyrood. These are the chief references to him during his life in Scottish records, and while he evidently held a high position, he is never styled Earl until after his death.
King Henry I also in a charter of unknown date, but certainly some time after 1100, conferred upon him, as Gospatric, brother of Dolfin, a large tract of land lying between Wooler and Morpeth, in Northumberland. This extensive grant, which was confirmed at York about 1136, was held, not by knight's service or other service usual from a barony, though it is sometimes described as the barony of Beanley. It was held in grand serjeanty, the Earl and his descendants being bound to be 'inborwe' and 'utborwe' between England and Scotland;' that is they were to be security for persons passing to and fro between the two countries who would not be allowed to travel north or south without permission of the lords of Beanley a fact which practically gave to the Earls of Dunbar the important position of Wardens on both sides a the East March.
From another important English writ it appears that Gospatric, besides the lands named, held the adjoining territories of Bewick and Eglingham, of which he received a grant in feu farm from the abbot of St Albans, by a special contract, dated between 1097 and 1119, and which were afterwards held by Edgar, a son of Gospatric.
Earl Gospatric granted, probably towards the close of his life, the lands of Ederham, or Edrom, and Nisbet, to the monks of Coldingham, imprecating spiritual penalties on any who should interfere with the grant. He also gave the church of Edlingham in alms to the Abbey of St. Albans. He endowed the church of St. Nicholas of Home, in Berwickshire, his wife and family consenting to the gift.' He joined his kinsman King David I in the latter's invasion of England in 1138,' and commanded the men of Lothian at the battle of Cowton Moor, near Northallerton, otherwise called the battle of the Standard, fought on 23 August 1138. At least no other person could be described as the 'summus Dux Lodonensium ' who led them to the field.' The Scots were defeated, and the leader of the Lothian men was slain or severely wounded by an arrow. Whether this were Earl Gospatric or not, he was certainly dead before 16 August 1139, when King David I confirmed the grant of Edrom to the monastery of Coldingham.' The seal attached to his charter of Coldingham is round, one inch in diameter; an equestrian figure holding a sword slanting over his shoulder in his right hand. The legend is broken and defaced, but enough remains to show that it must have read, 'SIGILLUM GOSPATRIC1 FRATRIS DOLFINI.
The name of the Earl's wife has not been ascertained.
. Gospatrick Dunbar 1st Earl was born before 1069. He was the second son and younger brother of Dolfin.. He was the son of Gospatrick Earl of Northumbria.
     He was living in 1115 when seems to have been a signatory to the charter of Scone by which the Abbey of Scone was founded.
     Gospatrick died on 23 August 1138 in Northallerton, Yorkshire. He was slain at the Battle of the Standard at Cowton Moor, near Northallerton.

     Gospatrick Dunbar 2nd Earl was the son of Gospatrick Dunbar 1st Earl.
     He made donations to the monastery of Kelso for the patronage of the churches of Home, Lambden and Greenlaw. Founded the Cistercian convents of Coldstream and Eccles, co. Berwick and was a liberal benefactor to the Abbey of Melrose.
Gospatric, son of Gospatric, succeeded his father in the Scottish territories and in the serjeanty of Beanley, in Northumberland, comprehending the lands there, already enumerated. In 1160-61 he paid to the English Exchequer 12 marks for six knights' fees, for which apparently he had commuted the service due from Beanley.' But his chief interests lay in Scotland, especially as the manor of Edlingham passed to his brother Edward. Accordingly we find his chief grants to religious houses to be in Scotland, and on his seal, noted below, he styles himself of Lothian, or Earl of Lothian. He granted to the monks of Melrose, Hartside, and Spot, near Dunbar, and to Kelso the churches of Home and Fogo and also confirmed the grants of Edrom and Nisbet, made by his father to the monks of Coldingham, and his name occurs in various charters relating thereto.' The chief event commemorative of this Earl Gospatric was his founding, apparently towards the close of his life, a nunnery at Coldstream, at a place where apparently there was already a small religious house. He granted to the 'sisters of Witehou' certain lands in Lennel and Birgham, while his Countess Derdere and other proprietors, with the Earl's consent, also gave land, with which endowments the nunnery began, its site being at the junction of the water of Lect with the river Tweed. This Earl is also said to have founded a nunnery at Eccles, but though such a house was instituted there in 1156,' there is no certain evidence as to the founder.
Earl Gospatric died in 1166, leaving a memory of good works,' and was succeeded by his eldest son.' His seal bears an equestrian figure, wearing a conical helmet, carrying a kite-shaped shield, and with a sword held over the shoulder in his right hand; legend, "+ SIG. L. GOSPATRICI .. LONEE." On the reverse is a secretum.
     Gospatrick Dunbar 2nd Earl married Derdere Unknown (Dunbar). The Christian name of the Earl's wife was Derdere, but her surname and parentage have not been ascertained. She may have been the proprietrix of the lands of Hirsel, of which she gave a portion to the nuns of Coldstream.
     Gospatrick died between 1156 and 1166.

     Halahan matriculated at Trinity College, Dublin, on 12 June 1839. He entered Trinity 12 June 1839 aged 18 as a pensioner, son of John, clericus. Born Dublin. Prepared by Mr Sturgeon. He was awarded a Bachelor of Arts in 1844.

     He wrote: I entered Trinity College, Dublin, where I did what most young fellows do - nothing of note. It was during my collegiate life however, that I studied hard, became somewhat proficient in Hindustanee, Arabic, and Hebrew; was a fair mathematician; loved the Arab Antar more than Homer, and devoured all the English poets from Chaucer upwards. My great wish at this time was to become an artist, painter or sculptor, for either of which I had a great taste and was naturally endowed. I do not speak through vanity or in self-laudation, but truthfully and sadly too, the reason for which regret I will show further on. Halahan was a curate in the Church of Ireland. at Ireland from 12 July 1846 to 1868. From 1846 to 1870 he was curate at Inishmacsaint (1846-62); 1846-58 curate in charge at Slavin (Post town Ballyshannon); and 1865-67 curate at Belleek.

     He wrote "Not being able to follow the profession I wished, I entered the Church, and was ordained July 12 1846, and appointed as curate in the same parish as my father. Father and son brother curates, in the same parish, on the magnificent stipend of £69 4s 7 1/2d per annum! The great Irish famine began the same year owing to the failure of the potato crops. The scenes I witnessed were heartrending. Thousands died for want of food, of actual starvation. Then came malignant fever ... those who could, fled; those who could not fly, laid down and died.
My life passed monotonously, without much to mark the months as they slipped by. One amusing event happened in a neighbouring church ... at Garrison, a small town on the south-east of Loch Melvin, [which] had just been built, and the Bishop of Clogher appointed the day for its consecration. My rector, father and myself, were present, among other clergy. When the service was about to commence, the clerk endeavoured to sing the opening psalm, but having a very bad cold, could not produce a note, so turning to the Bishop he said, "My Lord, I cannot get out a note, but will whistle it" ... to the unspeakable amusement of all present ... excepting the Bishop whose Episcopal gravity was very sadly upset. In justice to the cler. - a man I knew very well, for he worked for my grandfather, whose residence was just outside the town - I must say his whistling excelled... I remained twenty years in the same curacy, a lotus-eating but not wholly unpleasant life, during which I had time to study, and to increase my knowledge of painting and sculpture. My rector dying, a successor was of course appointed, who brought his own curates. I had often thought of leaving 'the church', and not long after, having lost my dear father, and the home being broken up, I left Ireland in company with one of my sisters, who required my escort to Australia

John Savage Dobson and Elizabeth Dick Dunbar were married by Rev Halahan Killigrew Dunbar on 20 April 1848 in Ballybay, Monaghan, Ireland. He was listed in a directory dated between 1854 and 1855 as Halahan Dunbar at Clogher diocese, Ballyshannon, Inishmacsaint/Kilbarron, Donegal, Ireland. He was listed in a directory dated 1863 as Halahan Dunbar, curate at Slavin, Fermanagh, Ireland.
     While curate at Belleek from 1865-1867 he was an amateur modeller, and is reputed to have modelled the Group of Hounds for the Pottery.
     Rev Halahan Killigrew Dunbar and Frances Holmes Dunbar arrived per "Hurricane" on 22 April 1869 at Victoria, Australia. Halahan wrote We embarked on board the "Hurricane", an iron clipper ship, commanded by Captain Johnson (he was Captain in the Naval Reserve), a good seaman, and a kind, considerate commander. .. My sister and myself were the only first-class passengers. In the second there were about thirty, a curious lot from all parts of the world. I (They landed in two life boats amid sharks), losing everything I possessed (including, implements, art tools, books, jewels, family plate, manuscripts, testimonials, etc., with the exception of a telescope). My sister fortunately had a cheque on the Melbourne Bank safe on her person. Thus I landed in the New World, half clad and penniless, with life to begin over again, when I thought I had just attained ease and comfort.

A man in such condition is not always welcomed even by his nearest relations ... Seeing my sister comfortably settled in her new home (she had come to Australia to be married), I felt myself to be one too many, and sought for employment in all those branches in which I was proficient. But without testimonials and minus a single implement necessary for my profession, it was little wonder that I was received with suspicion, and my story of the loss of everything in the 'Hurricane', with scarcely veiled sneers.
In a very short time I saw it was hopeless. ... Feeling it was wiser to leave Melbourne, as I had connections there, and had no wish to distress them with my presence, or let them know to what a state of poverty I was reduced, I managed by a chance piece of work (copying it was) to get together the price of a passage to New Zealand, and landed at Wellington. There I found things somewhat worse than in Melbourne. Literally no work to be had. I went also to try my luck at gold-digging. One morning I landed at Graham's Town and Shortland, half towns, half mining camps, the possessor of a pair of blankets, a few shillings, and a heart somewhere in my boots...

The Hurricane arrived off the Heads on the 21st and took on pilot Kennedy at 6 p.m. While entering the following morning at 8 a.m. she struck lightly on the Lonsdale Reef. Soundings were taken in the forehold but no water was found. However, when the vessel was approaching Arthur's Seat she started to dip by the head and soon after foundered. The passengers took to the boats and were taken to Melbourne by the tug Titan. which was not far away at Queenscliff at the time of the accident. The vessel and her cargo were sold a few weeks later but she was never raised and became a total wreck. The Hurricane was an iron ship of 1198 tons register, built on the Clyde in 1853. She was commanded by Captain D H Johnston RNR, formerly the clipper ship Lightning. The Hurricane sailed from Liverpool on January 12, with over 2000 tons of general cargo and 3 cabin and 16 second cabin passengers and a crew of 28 all told

Haley K Dunber, an old man who died a the coutny hospital on Nov 2 and whose remains occuply a grave int eh county's cemetery on the hill, near the poor farm, was in his day a man of note.

Bt accident Mr Jenkins heard that the many had passed away and wrote to the doctor for particulars of his death. It seems that some time before Dr Jesse became county physician Mr Jenkins, so he says, made a request that in the event of Mr Dunbar's death, he should be informed, so that the remains, instead og being ...
