## Heading ##Henry E. Dennis is my grandfather and Dave Cory Dennis is my cousin. Henry
fled England for Pennsylvania USA via Queenstown Cork in 1910 leaving behind
for ever his wife, my father and his 3 brothers; I am trying to find out Why?
I am also trying to find David Dennis's new address, probably now in Quebec
Canada.
