It doesn't appear Emma was born in NSW.

There's a marriage of an Emma Dunn in Windsor , but in '66.

There is always the possibility that they didn't marry.

That's certainly possible Jamjar as she was only 17 when Ada was born, 'though under informant, she did cite her name as "Emma McMullen mother Elizabeth Street" (place of birth). He was five years older than her so perhaps he just got back on the boat??

Here Goulburn Street intersects

Nicodemus Dunn

Tried to figure what it intersects and it could be Elizabeth. All the streets on the same page, reach Elizabeth.

Maybe a long shot but, remember the reference to the Beejapore? maybe it is not him but related just the same as it mentions his brother: William who was an Innkeeper in Lower George street Sydney. Is that the same thing as a licenced Victualler??
