Dunn Family of Sculcoates , Yorkshire

[Dan Jenkins]

Looking for any info. on family of John S. Dunn and Harriet [Hart ] ,
maybe married  at Kingston Upon Hull 1842 . 1st qtr. Vol 22-Page 216.

Appears they had a son Frederick J. 1855, then went to India and

had a dau. Edith 1862.

Harriet and dau. Edith arrived at New York 1870 from Liverpool , on way to Boston , Mass.

Son Fred joined them and he says he arrived States 1868/69 .

She is listed as a widow from 1878 onward.

Trying to determine if John S. Dunn was a career soldier and died in India  or back home in East Riding , Yorkshire  before 1870.

Doesn't show in any census I can find 1861,1871, etc.

You can contact me direct at (*) .

Thanks ,

Dan Jenkins

Hello Clive ,

I did a little more searching and found a Pennock Dunn married
Hannah Brigham at St. Marys -St Nicholas , at Beverly  May 27, 1790.
Also found a Pennock Dunn bap. 3-8-1745 at Holy Trinity, K-U-Hull
father Pennock .
Also a Pennock Dunn maried Mary Western 12-Jan., 1748 at Holy Trinity .

2nd. marriage ?  or were there 2 Pennock Dunns around .
Think there must be another born 1860-1870 as age 45 seems late to have married and have large family if he is same one .

And or maybe there was a 2nd marriage for the Pennock that married Hannah Brigham  1790  ?

I have since located living Dunns over here that may  be descendants of  John S. - that married Harriett Hart 1842 .

Dan Jenkins, I am descended from John Dunn, son of Pennock Dunn & Maria.  There were several Pennock Dunns in the tree, hence the confusion.

Hello

I am intrigued. I came across this through an idle google search. My family are descended from Dunns of Hull, and we have DNA connections to Pennock Dunn (all of them) but cannot break through the brick wall to find just how. The furthest back we currently go is to Robert Dunn, b 1789 an ornithologist or more accurately in those days, bird murderer since all they wanted was stuffed birds and eggs. He was a published author and we know quite a bit about him, but not who his father was. He died in 1859 in Hull aged 70. He was married at least three times, probably bigamously the last time, but was buried with his first wife. Now you see why we are perplexed! Beverley and South Cave and of course Sculcoates are attractive, again because of DNA. We think we are connected to a John Dunn, a ships carpenter who was buried next to said couple. He died in 1828 and his son born a few weeks earlier was baptised at Holy Trinity along with three of said Robert's sons. I would be grateful for any information you can share, Thanks Lynne Reid
