The name LUNE has always fascinated me and my desire to trace its roots stems back to 
my school days when we had a history lesson on genealogy. Thus said, it was rather 
the case of 'I must do it'  but never actually did anything about it....until, that 
is, I went to the funeral of the grandmother of my best mate, Mark. I noticed that 
the name on the headstone next to where Mark's nan was being buried was that of 
a 'Harold LUNE'.  This confirmed my belief in two things: firstly, that there are 
greater forces at work out there and, secondly, wherever you are in this world, one 
thing is certain - you are never far away from a Lune! (It turned out that Harold 
Lune was a cousin of my paternal grandfather Fred W Lune) 

Whilst researching my family history I have discovered, sadly, many premature deaths -
the most poignant of which was that of George H Gibbons so tragically killed by a 
lorry aged just 6 years; the death of my great great grandfather who in the summer of 
1919 suffered sunstroke and then had a heart attack later that same year....clearing 
the snow away!; an elderly spinster whose first marriage was at 62 and then married 
for a second time at the age of 67!; a few emigrations to Canada in the early 1900s 
and a murder victim!! (see Ethel Shooter). 

Thank you to Donna Borden (Toronto) and Sheila Clark (Notts) for showing an interest 
in my tree and kindly finding extra information for me which has made my 'journey' so 
fascinating! Thanks also to Alex Withnall, Peter Done, Derek Lune, David Fullwood, 
Roger Parker and Alan Kirk, for sharing their trees with me and more recently to Ron 
and Iris Gibbons for sharing family photos and family information.

Anyone who may have a connection or additional information on any of the names in my 
tree is welcome to contact me. I apologise if you are connected to me and I haven't 
added your name yet - if this is the case please do contact me as I probably have 
some info missing!
