Family History Beginners Board / Ernest Robert Jennings Perry 1876-1932
« on: Saturday 02 January 16 23:58 GMT (UK)  »
I was wondering if anyone had information or pictures of Ernest Robert Jennings Perry. He was born about 1876 in Sussex or possibly Yorkshire. According to Ancestry records he was born in Sussex and according to family member he was a Yorkshire man.

He married Ada Maynard in 1900 and had several children: Lilian, Ivy (my great grandmother), Gertrude, Violet, Ernest, Rose, and possibly a George who died quite young.

According to Ancestry, he was in the military in 1911. His daughter, Ivy, married a military man, Archibald Joseph Gough, and they may have been in the same regiment, Royal Warwickshire Regiment.

His parents were possibly Joseph Perry and Elizabeth Jennings.

He died in 1932 in Warwick. A relative said he died of throat cancer.

The Common Room / looking for Edwin Dunn
« on: Monday 17 August 15 19:36 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for more information on my 2nd great grandad. According to the 1881 England census he was born about 1850, Brierley Hill, Staffordshire, a bucket maker and lived with his wife Betsy and his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Brooks. He married Betsy Brooks in 1872. I can't find a definite birth record of him and I cannot find any death record at all. I'm assuming he died around 1892. On the 1901 and 1911 census, Betsy is listed as a widow and in the 1901 census lists 20 years of marriage. They had one son, George Harry Dunn, born around 1884. I've found quite a bit on Betsy but nothing on Edwin. In the 1891 census, Betsy is listed as married but living with with her mother as her home maker. I don't know where George went at this time but there is a George H Dunn living with another family. It could be him. If anyone can help me out, that would be great!

Warwickshire / Employees of the Warwick Asylum
« on: Thursday 06 August 15 17:32 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking to chat with anyone who worked at the Warwick Asylum in the late 1960s and early 1970s. My great grandfather resided and died there in 1972. Wondering if anyone who worked there might remember him. George Harry Dunn. Husband of Eugenie Dunn (died 1970) and father of Marjory, Bessie, and Noel.

Family History Beginners Board / George Harry Dunn Warwickshire
« on: Tuesday 04 August 15 21:02 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me find more information on my great grandad? His name was George Harry Dunn. I don't know his birth year but presumably around 1885. I believe his wife, Eugenie Maggie Taylor, was born in 1886. They were married in Warwick on 1915 and had 3 children. He died on June 15, 1970 in the Warwick Asylum. All I can find of him on Ancestry is his marriage index and the Trades Directory which tells his trade and his address. I originally thought I had the right man but followed the wrong line so I'm starting over. There's a chance he was adopted within his own family. Any information or tips on how to find more information would be greatly appreciated.

Warwickshire / Warwick Asylum

Does anyone know anything about the Warwick Asylum?

My great grandad, George Harry Dunn, a former Engineer Fitter, lived there for the last few years of his life, suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

As of right now I'm not allowed access to any of the records. Wondering if anyone would have any information for me.

Family History Beginners Board / Domestic Coachman
« on: Wednesday 10 June 15 03:55 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on my great great grandfather, John Henry Dunn. He was born in 1863 in Banbury, Oxfordshire. He does not appear in the 1871 or 1881 census. I have found his marriage in the marriage index in 1885 in Banbury, Oxfordshire. In the 1891, 1901 and 1911 census he is a domestic groom and then a domestic coachman. My great grandfather, Harry George Edwin Dunn, is listed as a gardener in the 1911 census. The census says they live at Houndshill Cottage, Stratford on Avon. Does anyone happen to know if there was an estate of some sort where they may have worked? I don't think the Cottage is where there employers lived. I think that may have been a cottage for the servants but I'm not entirely sure. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
