Right Thomas on 1940 Census?
« on: Sunday 10 June 12 21:50 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I'm at a point where I feel I can go no further searching on the net! (But that's only because I've being bluffing and stumbling my way around to date!)  This forum has been great in the past, in fact I would have never found some of the info certain individuals found for me on here.

I just cannot for the life of me find all siblings of my family after the 1905/1910 censuses. I've only had luck tracing one sibling and his descendants to present day, which is great, but it makes me even more frustrated not knowing what has happened to his siblings!!

I've being looking on the 1940 census and came across a family, the father's birth year is nearly right, so I'm thinking have I found one of the siblings.

The Thomas I'm looking for was born in 1882, possibly 2nd Apr. So, it could be him? The trouble is I don't know if he married (or he could be dead by 1940) because on the 1905 census he's single.

WW1 Draft for a Thomas Joseph Dunn born 2 April 1882  - 1242 Hernnerst. Brooklyn. Kings. NY
Clerk for Burn Brothers. Nearest relative Mary Dunn of the same address.
Medium height and build, blue eyes and brown hair. No distinguishing marks.

Dated Sept 12 th 1918.

The above draft and details does not seem to belong to the Thomas on the 1920/30/40 census above. The WW2 Draft for the same Thomas again mentions a Mary Dunn (which I presume will be his wife) 937 a Greene Avenue. Kings. New York.

For information purposes - previous Dunn threads with further information

I've found this record in the 1940 census, wife Mary. Could it be him? Birth year is a little out though.

Actually it MUST be him, their living on "Greene Ave"!
Thank you so much.
What do I need to get to confirm it's the correct Thomas? A marriage cert maybe, that will give parents names right?
