Find Ancestors

Please can anyone throw some light onto this?
A recently discovered cousin has a bible, for which he knows nothing about, with the following inscription:
Awarded to Arthur A C Dunn for excellence in the Scripture Examination - 25/5/1881, signed by A Kaye, Vicar
I have found a Arthur Albert Charles Dunn b 1869 10a62 Stockton Dec 1868 (and unfortunately a death of Arthur A C Dunn March 1886 9d387 aged 17).
Arthur's mother is a Hannah Dunn and on the 1881 Census is shown as living with her brother William Wilkinson. So I am cautious, but am thinking her maiden name is Willkinson and Hannah has at some point married a 'Dunn'.
But have tried without success to find her husband &/or her marriage but cannot find her prior to 1881 Census. I have tried to locate Arthur's older sister Mirand (a) V Dunn prior to 1881 but no luck.
I feel like I am missing something and would appreciate some help..
Thanks
Michelle
PS Dunn is my mothers maiden name so this could potentially be someone I have missed on my genealogy travels!

I can't see them in 1871 even when you just put their 1st names in search.
Yoy would have thought Miranda V wouldn't be a common name would you.

Maryb.

if you arent sure of his parentage I would buy his birth cert.

Hi Mary
I know, its very strange.......all of the siblings apart from Miranda V & Arthur A C have a W in amongst their middle initials which could be a reference to Wilkinson??
I have searched for hours on Ancestry at my Library for them.
Thanks for looking and replying

Marriages Jun 1870
Bowman Henry Stockton 10a 99
DUNN Mary Jane Stockton 10a 9

So as Mary was nee Dunn wonder whether Hannah was in fact married

you could buy this cert for verification
Births Jun 1866
Dunn Miranda V Stockton 10a 70

don't think she married

Deaths Dec 1926
Dunn Miranda V 59 Middlesbro 9d 642

Hi Shirley
Thanks for info.....still no Mr Dunn though
Hannah has (on the 1881 census) a child Ann Elizabeth W Dunn born in 1880 so he has to be still alive at least 9 months prior to that??
Perhaps he works away.
So if Hannah is the 'sister in law' to Henry Bowman that means Mary J Bowman is Hannah's sister? Have i got that right!
Many Regards
Michelle

yes Hannah is sister to Mary J and Mary;s maiden name was Dunn so wonder if it fact Hannah ever married

No I didn't have that right!
Thats a lot of children to have with out being married.
So who is William Wilkinson, can't be her brother because he'd be a Dunn??
I love these mysteries
I 'd never have been able to figure out this though without all your help.

Hi Helen
So she married Wm Wilkinson, or at the very least took his name...perhaps the later children with the W in the name are his?
Intriguing to say the least..
Thanks
