Looking for Dennis Dunn born Ireland

[Wendy Frances]

Can anyone help.
Trying to find Dennis Dunn born about 1811 Co Wicklow ireland. My Gt Gt grandmother Sarah was born in 1835 Manchester and it's looks like he married in England. Trying to trace his irish roots. Who were his parents?
Thanks

Wendy,

Have you found the other children born to Dennis and his wife? Often the Irish naming patterns help - first son named after father's father etc.

This one may be a bit late - but there was a Dennis 'Dun' baptised on 18 Jan 1815, Killaveney, County Wicklow. Roman Catholic baptism.

Parents Laurence 'Dun' and Ann Dauton

Sponsors Patt Meagher and Ann Byrne

I cannot immediately see any other children born to this couple.

Did your Dennis name a son Laurence? If not then this baptism is probably unlikely to be the correct one.

Hello Wendy,

You have Wicklow and say ‘it looks like he married in England’. Is the place from the census and marriage based on Sarah’s birth?
Is this your family?

No. 1 Court, Church Street
Dennis Dunn 33 yrs b Ireland
Catherine Dunn   30 yrs b Ireland
Sarah Dunn 5 yrs b in county
Jane Dunn   5 Months b in county

There is

There are possible births for Jane with mother’s names on GRO and also deaths.
There is a death for a Catharine Dunn, 37 yrs in 1846 
Marriage 1849 Dennis Dunn and Mary A Kelly (Moore) Lancashire BMD - may be him?

Then 1851
86 Pump Street

Dennis Dunn 38 yrs Weaver b Ballingate, Ireland
Mary Ann Dunn   36 yrs born (dittoed)
Sarah Dunn 15 yrs b Manchester

If it is your family, then the 1849 marriage would give you his father’s name.

There's also a Dennis Dunn=Ann Gibson marriage 1846 Manchester Cath. He 's listed as a widower & occ. weaver as in 1832. His address is Rochdale Rd. which is off Pump St.
The signatures on both are very similar.
He gives his father as James Dunn a butcher.
There are 3 Ann Dunn deaths 1847-8 Manchester.
1 in particular at Manchester Cath. in 1847 aged 37.

On the 1841 census In Manchester Sarah is 5/6 mother Catherine on the 1851 census mother is Mary Ann. I think that Catherine maybe did die about 1846, and he remarried Mary Ann . Sarah had a sister Jane born 1841 and i have looked on gro and mother's name is spelt Golloher which could be miss spelt Gallagher. I couldn't find Dennis on 1861 census so maybe he too had died by then.

[Wendy Frances]

Jim 1 yes I think Catherine Gallagher is Sarah's mom although I can't find her birth certificate to see who her mother is but her sister Jane born 1841 on GRO of gives the name of Golloher which could be Gallagher.
Heywood yes this is my family.
Pennines i have only found Jane born 1841 can't find any children with Mary Ann.
