Hello Patrick.
My aunt & uncle Nelson "Nels" Lewis Ambrose (1910 - 1999) & Katherine "Kate" Priscilla (1915 - 2001) (nee Patience) Orum lived & farmed on the North Half, Lot 12, Concession 2 of North Oxford Tp., Oxford Co., Ontario starting in 1947 until 2001. This ca. 100 acre farm latered named by my uncle to Palomino Farms was purchased from Hilton Gregg or Craig in about March 1947.
The road running north and south in front of their farm was called Dunn or Dunns Road and this side road started at Govenor's Road in the north (later named to Ontario Highway # 2 , Thamesford to Woodstock) to Ontario Highway # 19 in the south while passing through the Town of Ingersoll.
Dunns Public School was located and partitioned off of the south-east corner of their farm probably well before 1947.
Their neighbours on the north-east side/corner of Dunns Rd. were Peter "Pete" and Allen Dunn who lived with their widowed mother and on the adjacent farm south of the Dunn brothers farm lived their aunt & uncle Mr. & Mrs Herbert "Herb" Dunn southward next to Powerline Rd.
The North Oxford Cheese Factory that was owned & operated by Mrs. Mackenzie or McKenzie was located and partitioned off of the north-west corner of the Dunn brothers farm.
Other nearby neighbours included Charles Furtney, John Greenwood, James Mutter, Dr. James Gill, Mr. & Mrs. Barnham / Barnhem, Stanley Brown, Mr. & Mrs. Hacker, Mervin & George Cuthbert, Doug & Merle Harvey, Pat Huston, Pat Quinn, Tom Comiskey, Clare Milner, Pat & James Hanlon, Pat Shannon or the Shannon brothers, James Patterson or Patterson brothers, etc.
The Dunn brothers had a nephew named Patrick "Pat" Dunn who lived in Ottawa, ON who used to visit them and his grandmother Mrs. Dunn during the summer holidays from about 1955-65.
Patrick, I was wondering if you are the same person that I used to play with when we were young boys ??
I discovered from one of your earlier postings that you may live in Saskatchewan now ??
Also one of my mother's George Brown b. 1819 ancestors married a Dunn family member as referenced in an earlier posting as follows:
