Hi everyone,
If you don't mind another information request related to my research on my Fathers side.
My Great, great Grandfather was Charles Edwin Nunn (b 1857 in Huntingdonshire) I am having trouble finding a birth certificate for him and any details of parents.
I know he married Martha Patricia "Patty' Stanyon in 1884 and had 3 Children, although it appears my Great Grandfather (Charles) was born in 1881.
Any help on Charles Edwin gratefully accepted!
Many thanks
Becky

I see only one Charles Edwin around that time:

In 1871 he is on census with a brother and sister born HUNTINGDONSHIRE.

You’ll find the others on GRO UK.

The last children were born:

NUNN, ELIZA JANE mmn WOODS
GRO Reference: 1869 M Quarter in PETERBOROUGH Volume 03B Page 225
So you are looking for a death for Charles husband between 1869 and census time 1871.
I’m thinking:

Are these all the children of Charles and Martha?
I can’t see the birth of their Charles.

Presumably you have this birth certificate?

How certain are you that Charles Edwin NUNN was the father?

Here’s Charles on the 1881 as a grandchild and a Patty Stanyon.

Thanks Jamjar,
You are a star and lots of information to work through.
I obviously need to join a few search sites as well as you are getting more information than I can find.
In the 1901 Census a Charles Nunn is listed as living with Martha and Charles (aged 20 as son) along with Walter & May.
I am wondering if he was born out of wedlock or an illegitimate Son?
The only other reference I have found was for a Charles Nunn born to a lady called Ella in a workhouse around the same time in London.
I will keep trying to solve the puzzle!

I use FamilySearch, which is free to use, although you sign in to use it.
Charles is the son of Martha (Patty), pre marriage to Charles. Charles senior may, or may not be, the father.

Thanks Jamjar,
That's entirely my thinking as well, I have been back today and checked the lineage.
I just signed up for family search and will use that as well as the other resources.
Thanks for your help.

I also use FreeBMD and GRO UK, both free.

I have had a look around but it is difficult to be clear as to whether this girl is a daughter of Martha (Patty) STANYON or her 27 year old sister Sarah Ann STANYON, also in the household at that time.
