263  Plymouth Grove, C-on-M. was on the corner of Daisy Bank Road.
This is where the old toll gate use to be.

What was Francis's father's name.

Going by JD’s information, this would seem to be Francis.

Born 5th September 1903 baptised 16th September 1903, St James Collyhurst.
Parents Francis and Ada Dunn.

The problem I have with the Francis Dunn in Southern cemetery is that prior to his death he lived just around the corner from my father, his son? When I say around the corner I am talking three minutes. His ex wife? my grandmother was no more than five minutes away. No mention of this Francis Dunn who lived around the corner was ever made by my family.
Annie Dunn was born Annie Shatliff  on the 29th June 1904. If I can find some info on Annie it may shed some light on who is actually in Southern, my grandfather or the other Francis Dunn.

Are you saying that Francis & Annie separated after their appearance on the 1939 register

Mary
Yes Daisy Bank Road was on the corner of Plymouth Grove. My school was on Daisy Bank Road. I lived just around the corner on Richmond Grove. When I went to school I would walk down Plymouth Grove and turn right into Daisy Bank Road. 263 Plymouth Grove was on the opposite corner across the road.

The father of Francis was also called Francis. He died 1st April 1950. He lived in and was buried in Bolton.

Yes this is my grandfather. As you say he was born 1903. So perhaps the Francis who lived on Plymouth Grove was unrelated and him being minutes away from where I lived with my parents was just a coincidence.
The Francis Dunn who lived at 263 Plymouth Grove is the one in Southern cemetery. The writing on his stone:
In memory of
Francis Dunn
Died 19th Sep 1950
Aged 52 Years.
So if the Francis is in Southern is unrelated then where is my grandfather (buried) and his wife Annie. Ive been against this brick wall for the past two years.
Thanks

Hi Rosie
Yes I cannot find them after 1939.

I have found them both in the 1939 register residing on Cheetham Hill Road Manchester.

As you've seen it, I can say that Annie's entry is mainly obscured by an errant redaction bar.
But the transcript gives her a d-o-b of 16 June 1904. The others tally with the image.
It is different though to 29th June which you gave yesterday (not saying that's not the correct one!)

Hi Rosie

John,
Sorry to ask- are there no family stories about Francis or Annie after 1939?  No contact with them?
I realise you may not remember but sometimes stories are passed on. For example if Francis snr died in 1950, you would imagine there could have been a sighting at the funeral etc.
Was there a death announcement for Francis snr in the local paper? That might mention his children.
