Hi everyone,
This is long overdue but I've finally found some information.\
I ordered Edwin Dunn and Betsy Brooks' marriage certificate. Edwin's father was Elijah Dunn. Betsy's father was Samuel Brooks.
I've recently found on another site more information on Edwin's family. The sources come from the 1861 Census.
Elijah Dunn b. about 1819 Stafford - occupation listed as Iron Labouror - d. about 1869 Worcestershire
married to Ann Westwood May 13, 1845 in Clent, Worcester
Ann Westwood b. about 1822 Lye, Worcester - occupation is listed as Nailor - d. unknown
Edwin had several siblings:
- Elizabeth b. 1846 or 1847
- Elias Timothy b. 1848
- Ann b. 1854
- Elijah b. 1856
- Matilda b. 1858
- Rowland b. 1860
I still haven't been able to find anything on Edwin's death. On the 1871 Census he's listed as a Bucket Maker but on his son's marriage certificate he's listed as a Master Iron Worker and not listed as deceased (1915). It might have been overlooked but I'm not sure if they would have overlooked something like that. Maybe it didn't matter.
