Andrew Dinnen

[dinnen1800]

all i know is the family religion was anglican a lot of people tell me dinnen is a irish name but others have said scottish so ill try that next

In Ireland the equivalent would be the Church of Ireland. Unfortunately many of their pre-1880s registered were destroyed in 1920s after being sent to Dublin for safekeeping.
On FreeBMD I can see Dinnen births registered from 1843 onwards so the surname is certainly found in England (there will be earlier records like the baptisms you found, etc.)

You really do need to try and find the 1851 census record in England to see what's given as Andrew's place of birth as suggested here and on previous thread.

Not finding an Andrew, brass founder & Isabella Dinnan on 1851 census in Hampshire 

There is this entry BUT completely wrong first names  Posting because of the address and not sure about the transcribed surname either so have added a snippet 

Arundel Street, Portsea, Portsea Island, Hampshire
Augustus Driver Head 1787 Super'd brass founder Liverpool, Lancashire
Abigail Wife 1789 Liverpool, Lancashire
Ann   Dau 1824   Portsea, Hampshire
Caroline Dau 1829 Portsea, Hampshire
1851c Piece number 1659 Folio 371 Page 11

Trying to locate this family on 1841 or 1861 census

Great find, Ladyhawk. Looked for ages previously.
The daughters’ names fit.

Great find, Ladyhawk. Looked for ages previously.
The daughters’ names fit.

But the Christian names of neither parent do, and nor does the surname.

Three discrepancies.

You are right of course.
Daughter Caroline is referred to elsewhere as Caroline Augusta so I was thinking that was a connection and this quote from the other thread re Andrew’s death and the address as Ladyhawk mentions too. I will post this latest information on that thread.

Pity that Andrew and Isabella can't be found in the 1851 census. That census record would help confirm Andrew's birthplace.

When Andrew died in 1853 wife Isabella's address was 3, Lower Arundel Street, Landport, Portsea.

Thank you Ladyhawk and everyone else im still not sure but im also unsure it was a intruiging find the birth date 1787 is spot on age at 1851 census is 64 i know he died 1853 aged 66 so this ties in too he also had daughters ann and caroline and he also was a brass founder i have often found mis spelled names on census records and its strange both daughters surnames are different from the parents on this census is there any more info as to where the census was found please kind regards steve

[dinnen1800]

just worked it out the DAU after ann and caroline stand for daughters

I have posted this information on your other thread as Ireland may not be relevant now.
