My Dunn ancestor starts with Grace Emma DUNN
born 4q 1871 Newton Abbot 5b 135
who married Samuel Loveys 3q 1896 Newton Abbot 5b 260

Graces´ father was John Borne DUNN, I believe that he was born abt 1820 in Exbourne Devon. I cannot find him between 1861 & 1871 and think that he died at that time.

John Borne DUNN married Mary Frances  date not known. she was born ca 1838 in Broadclist Devon.

Can anyone help me find out more?

Hi groom

Yes you are right with the 1871 census My copy is not very good, hard to read what  I wanted to.

Did John DUNN married before he married Mary Frances?
 He must have been 50 years old then?

This could be him in 1851

  I wondered if he might be the chap in Newton Abbott in 1861 at RG9/ 1411 Folio 17 Page 25 

John Dunn head 24 SAWYER b Oakhampton( Okehampton) Devon

Carol

This chap is the wrong age.

[groom]

That looks good, Carol apart from his age.

[carol8353]

That only makes him 3 years younger b 1827 than in 1871 (b 1824) 

Scrap that last sentence I can't do my sums today 

[carol8353]

I was looking at the head in 1851 rather than his nephew.

Yes I agree that the image says SAWYER !!!
