So John and Mary moved from Northamptonshire to Bucks sometime between George and Ann's births.

There is a tree on family search.org that has his parents as Thomas Dunkley and Mary Jeffrey. All the children are as I found in the censuses but no results are showing to support these parents or the ones you say either.
Mind you family search beta does seem to be playing up for me as I can't get it to bring up the family tree for these people again.

I found another tree for Thomas Dunkley and Mary Jefferies.  According to that one, they had a son, John in 1814 but he died in the same year.  They had a second son called John in 1823 which would make it too late for the one you are looking for.

There is another tree that shows John Dunkley, 1806, Towcester son of William Dunkley & Elizabeth.  But he is shown as married to Ann Pierce.

The 1851 census suggests your John Dunkley was born in 1810.  I found a birth of John, son of George & Mary, baptism 17 April 1808 in Paulerspury.

I'm not sure whether this helps or confuses more? Hopefully a few clues.

On the 1871 census there is a john Dunkley born in Towcester, a widower, Bricklayer living in Buckinghamshire.

On the 1881 census he has married again and living in St Georges Hanover Square Westminster and is infirm.
