Later entries closely follow Harold’s ministry at Tela, Honduras, and subsequently at Quarley, Northill and Rempstone in England, strongly supporting his role as its long-term keeper. Signatures and documents associated with his brother, Edward Arthur Dunn (1870–1955), Bishop of British Honduras and later Archbishop of the West Indies, add a further family connection.
