Events in My Family Tree: July 7

Frederick Dunstan was my great-grandmother's brother.  While I was writing about his marriage for this post, I realized that even though he lived in the same area as my grandmother and father, neither one of them ever mentioned him when they talked about family.  It's too late to ask them now, of course, but I wonder if he and my great-grandmother didn't get along.
