William Dunn b. 1841 Hull m. Dinah Watson 1864 Brandesburton
« on: Monday 16 March 20 16:55 GMT (UK) »
Who are William Dunn's parents? I have a Wm. Dunn in 1851 with Ann as head brothers Geo. and Robt and mother Jane Webster. Is he my William. In 1881 William and Dinah are in N. Frodingham with their children and mother at bottom named Fanny Forge. Is Fanny Forge the same Ann Webster from 1851? She does not seem to be the mother in law to William so she must be his mother. Another problem is that there is another William named William Donkin Dunn b. same time. Are they the same person? any help is most appreciated. I have spent a lot of time on familysearch.org trying to puzzle this out.

Welcome to Rootschat

Do you have a copy of the 1864 marriage cert showing his fathers name?

Finally found the marriage entry - FindMyPast - 26 March 1864 - Brandsburton

No father named for William Dunn - aged 23 of Eston in Cleveland, occupation Miner

Dinah is aged 20 and her father is Robert, a Labourer

Thomas Watson was a witness.

Is Fanny Forge the same Ann Webster from 1851?

Their ages and birthplaces do not match.

You have the wrong 1851 entry.  In 1851 your William Dunn is aged 10 living in Brandesburton with his uncle and aunt William & Martha Marshall
