Dunbar Mystery - Shoreditch

[sadie]

Hi Ken

Thank you for looking, I think when I last checked I did not have as many facts as I do now.
The family story is that there is a connection to Robert the Bruce, but doesn't everyone!!!

Did you have any thoughts on the name of Selina's husband, I find her with a Joseph on most census's & I have his birth, but the marriage is with a Thomas, see my postings below?

Thank you very much - Sadie

It's just another mystery,to add to all the rest.

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Mary Ann Dunbar was born 17 Jul 1878 in Shoreditch.

Selina's marriage to Thomas was on 13 Feb 1873 in Shoreditch, I have the certificate.
Thomas appears as a Joseph in other documents & census's that I have which is odd.
I did find Selina on the 1871 census before she married, living in Hackney. Her mother also a Selina also appeared on this census.

Not sure the one you have is for the same family.

Sadie

[Bryant]

Definitely the same family.........different husband (brother?) although it appears they never married? but right family 

see amendments to my previous reply

[sadie]

Hey that's great.

Have you seen the same issues as me with the Thomas or Joseph Dunbar name?

Which part of the family are you connected to?

Sadie

[Bryant]

Hello Sadie

Just an old post to me! not related in any shape or form 

Happy hunting
