Hi, was wondering if anyone could check the following marriages to see if the fathers are listed as am trying to work backwards and can't identify who the parents might be so can't find baptisms etc.
Prudence Attwood married John Dunn 18 Jan 1778 in Barnwood
Elizabeth Boon married Anselym Bailey (or Baylay) at North Nibley on 18 Apr 1710. He was from Wheatenhurst and she was from Frampton on Severn.
Anything anyone can tell me about these people or their ancestors would be most welcome.
Regards, MyGenes

Hi, thank you! I had completely forgotten about this post and it just goes to prove that you never know when some new information is going to turn up. I really appreciate you taking the time to look this up for me. Thanks once again. MyGenes

Hi.
Still need help re the following.
John Dunn is shown a being
The baptism for John in 1751 shows parents as William and Ann, but the Dunn is spelt Done.
Prudence Attwood also of Barnwood.
Regards,
Gary.

Hi
William and Ann Done's children at Barnwood
Ann 5.2.1733
Susannah 21.12.1735
Priscilla 4.2.1738
Samuel 7.6.1741
Samuel 3.4.1743
William 1.12.1745
Charles 4.1.1747
John 15.4.1750
Thomas 11.12.1752
possible burial for William Dunn 24.11.1769,or 5 Sep 1794 and 12.2.1797
And that's as far as I can see.
There don't seem to be any Attawoods at all.
It's bloody awkward

Hi
It looks like Henry was John's elder brother
Henry Donn bapt 28.6.1727 s of William and Ann at St Mary De Crypt,Gloucester.
Four older siblings at Gloucester
Jane Dunn 1716
William Dunn 22.2.1719
Thomas Dunn 25.4.1722
Mary Donn born 13.2.1725 bapt 29.5.1726
So a lot of children there.
Possible marriage at Quedgeley William Dunne of Gloucester to Ann Reade of Elmore 19.6.1715
William Doune bapt 5.3.1692 s of William and Jane.
Siblings Mary 3.9.1694,Jane 2.8.1700
So Capetown has cracked it the Dunns/Dones came from Gloucester.
