Kildare / Re: JOHN DUNN (ggg grandfather)
« on: Thursday 31 May 12 16:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi Michele,

Firstly, apologies for not replying much earlier - I had some computer problems and it's only more recently that I've had a chance to look at my previous e-mails.  The Ann Dunn who married 'my' John Dunn in 1826 in St Pancras, London, would not have been the same person as 'your' Ann - as you say that her daughter Bridget was married in 1818 - in Kildare.

However, 'my' John Dunn was a widower when he married in 1826 and I've been unable to trace his first wife. If he was born in 1777, as my research indicates, it would have been possible for him to have married in Ireland and had a daughter who would have been old enough to marry in 1818.  Presumably, there's no reason why she couldn't have had the same first name as his second wife - but unfortunately, I don't see any way of my finding out definitely, the details of John's first wife. Of course, 'your' Ann would have had to have died before 1826 for it to have even been a possibility that she was John's first wife.

That's my reasoning anyway, but if there's anything else you can think of, please let me know - as I will, you, if I get any more info - but I'm rather doubtful that I will.

Best wishes,

Peter

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: 28 Marloes Road, Kensington 1920/21

Hi Chesilcove,

Just to mention that I've just found out from the d/cert of my gg grandfather - James Ewen Mackenzie -  that he died at 28 Marloes Road on 9 June 1876, although he lived at 128 Wornington Road.   I've just 'googled' Marloes Road and it was Kensington Infirmary and Workhouse (known after 1922 as St Mary Abbott's Hospital) - as Casalguidi's previous post.

Kildare / JOHN DUNN (ggg grandfather)
« on: Monday 12 September 11 17:43 BST (UK)  »
Any information on JOHN DUNN (ggg grandfather)  would be very welcome.

Born around 1777 in County Kildare, Ireland.    I've got one record for a John Dunn's birth details in  Barrowford Parish/District Athy, Co. Kildare on 10 June 1777,  parents: James Dunn and Ellis (no other name given)  but don't know whether this is the 'right' person.   I understand that, at that time, not all parishes kept birth records.

Died in Jan. 1862  (age 85)  in St.Pancras Workhouse, London.

Married Ann Williams in 1826 at St. Pancras Old Church, London.  He was age 49 then and described as 'widower' .

Occupation: smith/coachbuilder

Sons: William and Thomas, born in St Pancras, London.

My grandfather (father's line) was Frederick William Dunn and gg grandfather was Thomas Dunn.


(i)    If I could find details of his first marriage - where and who to,  e.g. in Ireland or England, I could try to find more information of the period between this and his second marriage.

(ii)   There is an army record of a John Dunn: JOHN DUNN Born CHURCH TOWN, Kildare Served in 17th Dragoons (Light) Discharged aged 36.    Served 1809 - 1823.    I wondered whether Churchtown in Kildare is fairly near to Barrowford - if so, he might have given Churchtown as his place of birth - although, even if it is near, this wouldn't prove that it's the same person.

Any info./suggestions whatsoever will be welcome.     Thanks.

Thanks very much for that Damsel.   That's given me a good idea of possible things to consider.

All the best,

Hi Damsel,

I've come to a halt on my research into my ggg grandfather - John Dunn.  Details are below:

Born around 1777 in County Kildare, Ireland.       Died in Jan. 1862  (age 85)  in St.Pancras Workhouse, London.

Married Ann Williams in 1826 at St. Pancras Old Church, London.  He was age 49 and described as 'widower' .

Occupation: smith.

Sons: William and Thomas, born in St Pancras, London.

My grandfather (father's line) was Frederick William Dunn and gg grandfather was Thomas Dunn.

I'd like to find out when and why John came to England from Ireland;  I've got one record for John Dunn's birth details in Barrowhouse (or Barrowford) Parish/District Athy, Co. Kildare on 10 June 1777, but don't know whether this is the 'right' person.     

If I could find details of his first marriage - where and who to,  e.g. in Ireland or England, I could try to find more information of the period between this and his second marriage.

Any info. whatsoever please from anyone who might be researching the same or part of this family tree.     Thanks.

Peter

Kildare / Re: John Dunn: County Kildare

Thanks.    John was definitely born in Co. Kildare - this is shown on the various census records when he lived (and died) in St. Pancras, London.   The Kildare Family History and Records Centre advised me that  a John Dunn was born in 'Barrowhouse' – but they say probably meant to be Barrowford (the local Townland) – possible mistake by priest in writing it down;    Athy (Parish/District);    County Kildare.

Parents: James Dunn and Ellis (no other name given)

The year 1775, tallies with his age, but this could, of course, be another John Dunn.   If I could find out when he first married, his parents' (or jsut his father's?) name could be on the parish record.  Although this would not be conclusive, at least it might partly confirm or otherwise the 1775 entry.
