I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I have William Dunn born sometime between 1776 and 1781 in Kingswinford, Staffordshire. He married Sarah Whitaker in 1803. They had several children, all of them baptised at Park Lane Presbyterian in Cradley. His parents are supposed to be James Dunn and Sarah Forrest (married 1777).
1) I cannot find a baptism record for William Dunn but I've been able to find them for his siblings. How can I find his baptism?
2) I've come across another Tree that has a James Dunn baptised at PLP, Cradley on 7 Apr 1805, as James William Dunn son of Joseph William and Sarah Dunn. This Tree has James Dunn as the son of William and Sarah Dunn. I have no idea how to figure out if this is correct or not.
3) There is a baptism record for Samuel Dunn 18 Nov 1807 who is a child of my William and Sarah Dunn and the record says, "son of William Junr. and Sarah Dunn". The "Junr." part has been added in after. Does that mean my William is not actually the son of James Dunn?
James Dunn was supposed to be my 5th great grandfather and one of the original Dunn's of Dunn's Bank in Quarry Bank. His brother was Daniel Dunn, a scythesmith, who also settled on Dunn's Bank. The land was then divided between their sons. James's two sons William and Silas each got some. Now I'm confused since I haven't been able to find any sources to prove that William is the son of James. The only times I've seen that is on other Trees.
Any tips on how to figure this out and some leads in the right direction of Parish Registers and such?
