Hi,
I'm trying to find information on William Dunn born in 1799/1800 in Monkseaton, Tynemouth.
He married Jane Fenwick (probably before 1830) and had 9 children between 1830-1850.
By 1851 he was farming at Fugar House in Tanfield, Durham.
Jane was born 1806/1807 at Ryton, Tyne and Wear.
Both died in 1886.
Any help would be appreciated. In particular I am keen to know the names of local parishes for Monkseaton and Ryton as I assume that is where their marriage occured.
Thanks
Pete

Just found the marriage:
21 May 1829 William Dunn = Jane Fenwick Tynemouth
Do you have them on 1841 census?

Thanks Barbara....just found them to through Joiners.
Thank you very much for your help.
No, I haven't got them in the 1841 Census...I suspect that they are out at Lamesley by then as only their oldest child was born in Monkseaton (sp?).
Best regards
Pete

There are a few William & Jane Dunns, can you give a few of the children's names that might still be at home?

In 1841:
Henry 11
Mary 9
Jane 4
Martha 1
Possibly Edward 0 (depending on census date)
Thanks

Peter, I am following this with interest as I too have Dunns in my family line.
I go back to Scotland. I have:
William Erskine b.22/3/1795 in Dunfermline maried:
ISABELLA DUNN no details known.
they had 10 children - all details known. i am descended through Catherine Erskine b.1839 in Auchterderran Who married james Cook. their eldest daughter was:
ISABELLA DUNN COOK married my G Grandfather David Young and the family eventually moved to Tyneside. My grandmother was a CHARLTON
Not sure if this fits in at all with your family.
