The Walcot Dunns in 1851 are also on the 1861 census in Bath.

I have to admit defeat. Have tried everything I can think of - first names only, surname, no birth year, etc. etc. Sorry Trevor, maybe someone else will have more luck.
Jan

I hate to be beaten....but goodness knows where they are....

Regards Vera

I can't find them either, sorry.

Hi all ,many thanks to all replys. this is a mystery. i have the marriage cert of Charles Dunn born 1850.father Robert Dunn, the witnesses are John Dunn & Mary Ann Dunn.
I was hopeing to find these as children on the 1851,
I know Robert Dunn married Sarah Roberts in Bristol in 1840, so where they were after that is a complete mystery.
