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.
