Dunn and Wilton Family of Cornwall
« on: Sunday 10 January 10 14:38 GMT (UK) »
Hi

 I am in the process of tracing my family in the early 1800s and have hit a brick wall, can any one help with the following, I have already looked at IGI and Cornwall BMd and online parish clerks without success

Septimus Filius Wilton born 1811 Mevagisey initially married Elizabeth Spargo on  24 feb 1833 unfortunately Elizabeth died in 1843 and he married again his wife was called Caroline but I can't find her surname or dates of marriage.

Matthias Dunn born 6 apr 1803 father was called Stephen Dunn and he married Mary again can't find her maiden name or dates of marriage and birth for both.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated

Looks like Septimus married in Sept qtr 1844 (St Austell 9 35).  Possible marriage partner is Susanna Caroline Hartman Rawe.

I looked on www.freebmd.org.uk 

With Septimus having a fairly unusual name, I searched on his name alone.  Otherwise you can put in spouse names to search (although in this case if you had put in 'Caroline' the marriage wouldn't have come up).

Have you tried here?
http://www.gorran-haven.org/names_g.htm/genealogy.htm

http://www.gorran-haven.org/names_d/dunnmarriage_1.htm
 - a marriage in 1802 of Stephen Dunn and Mary Lelean.

There are lots of Dunns in Mevagissey; I think my Furse line has some in there as well but I can't remember the exact connection.

Is Susanna Caroline the1861 entry as "Caroline H. Wilton" with "daughter in law"'s, Eliza Ann and Olympia? (children of Septimus and Eliza)

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kayhin/51908a.html
 - they look on the 1851 like they're transcribed as "Wilson".

Susanna Caroline H. Wilton died 1870 in St. Austell (aged 76 on index)
