Title: Dunn family of Mevagissey
Post by: tilly25 on Thursday 19 November 09 13:16 GMT (UK)
Hi

I am trying to find out who Matthias Dunn born 1830 married they had a daughter called Harriet Louisa Dunn in 1865, Timothy in 1863, Mathais in 1864 and Hamond in 1869

In the 1871 census Matthais was a widower
in 1861 census wasn't married.

Any help would be appreciated

Judy

well done Wozzle....good stuff.....so what was Biddys real name...always intrigues me names like that....allan
ADDED...on familysearch John Wilton marries Ann Blatchford 11 oct 1815 in Menheniot,Cornwall EXTRACTED...looks a good shout...the first born (twins ) Ann & Elizabeth ties in perfectly with ages on census and the marriage in 1815...allan

Wozzle Ann Marias christening ?..as she`s a twin ,isn`t Elizabeths on there as well...then again, it`s possible they`re not twins..maybe 10/11 months between them....interesting that Biddy is noted as "Biddy Elizabeth Wilton"....doesn`t fair well with trhe 1815 marriage I found of John to Ann.....ah well ..back to the drawing board....allan
ADDED  Just noticed Williams middle name Courties.... Elizabeth Courties ??  Biddys possible maiden name ?
Loads of births on freebmd of Courties in Truro.....
