Dunn Family

[andrew shanks]

I would be grateful if someone could look up the 1861 census records for Robert Dunn, who was born in 1856 in Camelon.  His elder sister Isabella may have still been with the family - she was born around 1844 at Bo'ness as was their mother, also Isabella, who was born about 1811. 

Thank you

This looks the most likely but Robert is given as older than you state:

Hi Gadget

Thank you for this.  I got my info from the 1881 census for Falkirk:

Isabella  DUNN Head W F 70  Boness, Linlithgow, Scotland 1710
Isabella  NEILSON Daur M F 37  Boness, Linlithgow, Scotland 1711
Robert  DUNN Son U M 25 Coach Painter Camelon, Stirling, Scotland 1712
Isabella  NEILSON Grand Daur  F 14 Wool Reeler Falkirk, Stirling, Scotland 1713
Henry  NEILSON Grandson  M 10 Scholar Falkirk, Stirling, Scotland 1714
Jane  HUNT Sister W F 60  Boness, Linlithgow, Scotland

There are some similarities but I am not sure whether you have found the same family in 1861 or not?

It was the nearest that I could come up with

Hi Gadget

It could very well be correct - I'm just not sure with the info that I have at the moment.  If anyone has access to the 1871 census it would be interesting to see what it shows for this family.

A very wrongly indexed family in 1871- as Chun, Wilson and Isaac Huot
