Marriage in India ?
« on: Sunday 15 July 18 18:07 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help. I can`t find a marriage to Mary Louisa.
I have Robert Anthony William Dunn born India who died 1895 in England aged 12 .
His father is Robert Henry William Dunn
Family search has Robert Anthony William Dunn,  Dum Dum, Bengal, Birth Date:27 Jul 1883 Christening  26 Aug 1883
Father Robert Henry William Dunn, Mother Mary Louisa.

 I found Mary Louisa Dunn  aged 23 death / burial 25 Aug 1883 Dum Dum, Bengal, India
Spouse's Name:R. K. Dunn ?
Robert Henry William Dunn married Catherine Constance Selina Erskine on 5 Feb 1890 - Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India and is later  found in Wales with R A W Dunn his son and Catherine.
The last time I found Robert Henry William Dunn in England   is in 1871 when he was 13. 
There is a strong military background to the Dunn family.

Hi,

A load of information etc regarding the Stokes family here: https://archiveswales.llgc.org.uk/anw/get_collection.php?inst_id=32&coll_id=12317&expand=

A bit more here: http://orapweb.rcahms.gov.uk/coflein//P/PHGS_144.pdf

Just Google Anthony Bowen Owen Stokes & there's loads of info re his army career. London Gazette entries, Hart's Annual Army List's, Google Books etc.

Lastly a copy of Burke's 'A genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry of Great Britain & Ireland, Volume 2 (published 1894) here shows the Stokes family of St Botolph's which are your family:  https://archive.org/stream/genealogicalhera02inburk#page/1932/mode/2up

Look on the bottom right corner of page 1933 & top left corner of page 1934. Includes showing Anthony Bowen Owen Stokes (died Nov 1891) parents as Hugh Innys Stokes died 1834 & Lydia Mary died 1866.

Hope this all helps.

Kind regards

David
