George LUNN

[lunny68]

I am looking for help in tracing any information about George LUNN, who is listed as being born in Lincoln, possible in Roby or Robey in 1862?

I have the GRO index but would appreciate any local knowledge if anyone has some.

thanks,

Dave

Carole and Pels,

thank you for your replies; I have managed to find George in a few further census.

What I find interesting/fascinating, is why George is the only one of his siblings born in Roby?

Secondly, there are no George's born in Lincoln in 1862 - only 1862, which is before his parents marriage!!

I see what you mean, Dave ? 

There's also another George Lunn, who according to the census returns could also fit the registration below. Only his parents are George and Sarah ?

I'll post the details to make it easier :

Birth, Dec qtr 1862   
George Lunn    
Lincoln, Vol 7a, page 427

And the marriage you referred to for 'your' George's parents :

Marriage, Mar qtr 1863   
Levi Lunn          
Ann Pine        
Doncaster, Vol 9c, page 581

Have you noticed the 1861 census ?

It claims Ann Pine was working as a House Maid - in the same household where Levi 'Lund' was employed as a Groom.

Pels,

Levi did marry the Ann you refer to, as his first wife died in child birth.

I think the George is the one I am looking for and that's the marriage of his parents - was he possibly born first?!

Dave

[Pels.]

The thing is - if George was born before they married, he would most likely have been registered under Ann's maiden name and not the name of his father. Plus, where does that leave the other child who was born in Lincoln at about the same time ?

Do you know the whereabouts of Ann's parents in 1861 ?

Pels.

[lunny68]

Of course - the plot thickens!! 

Ann's parents were Stephen and Ann and they came from Devon!
