• fact. Information about William's career can be found at www.cch-solicitors.com /about/history.htm Founding partners Sydney Cartwright and William Dunlop Cunningham qualified solicitors in 1888, and went into partnership shortly afterwards. They set up their first office in Paternoster Square, near St Paul's cathedral, and the firm continued to have a presence in that immediate area until 1940, when the offices (then at 4 Paternoster Square) were completely destroyed by enemy action. William Cunningham lived in Carisbrooked Road, Walthamstow, and later at Highams Park, and it may have been this fact that lead to the firm opening an office at 199 Hoe Street, Walthamstow - a site now occupied by a roundabout. Cunningham retired in 1917 and went to live in Bournmouth, but remained a nominal partner until 1925.

William married Caroline Davenport McDonald, daughter of John McDonald and Unknown, in 1889. (Caroline Davenport McDonald was born circa 1870.)
