No, I believe in 1891 they were still together because in 1892 he's her husband on her mother's Will. In the 1901 and 1911 Census she calls herself a Widow. In 1911 she lists 20 years of marriage (they married in 1872). On George's marriage certificate, he doesn't list Edwin as deceased, though that doesn't mean he wasn't. I haven't found a death certificate for an Edwin Dunn that matches the correct year of birth until 1921; I'm not sure if even that's the correct Edwin Dunn. I have the DC but it's hard to know for sure if he's my Edwin or not.

I don't know if I've seen that one before. I guess I didn't think to look anywhere outside of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, and Yorkshire. His siblings seemed to have live in those areas.

I'm waiting to hear back but one of George's grandchildren have a parchment of some sort and he's certain it has to do with Betsy Brooks and a divorce. I'll have to wait until he finds it to know for sure.
