Individual Details
William (Billy) CUNNINGHAM
(1 Dec 1910 - 22 Nov 1985)
Billy's baptismal sponsors were William Foran and Honora Shine.
Billy and his wife, Jo, were related. It is thought by a family member that they might have been third cousins, but the exact connection has not been established. We do know that Billy's father's name was Maurice and that Maurice's father's name was Bryan (Maurice's children were known as the 'Maurice Bryans'). However, it is not known if Maurice was a son of "Little Bryan" (which would make Jo and Billy third cousins once removed), or a son of Bryan Cunningham who married Johanna Hudson (which would make them first cousins once removed). However, given the information we have been provided by the family source it appears the former is more likely.
Billy was a fine singer. He inherited the Cunningham family home in Moyvane village.
