John Dunn b 1846 Midlothian

[babbie]

John Dunn born in 1846 was the son of Thomas Dunn and Agnes Brodie --I have him until the 1861 census

were his occupation is given as grocers apprentice.

I have traced the rest of Thomas and Agnes's family some went to America while others stayed in the Midlothian area

Your help would be much appreciated .

Thanks

I think this could be him in 1871 at 18 Gardners Cres, Edinburgh.
Ancestry's transcription is poor but a look at the original at SP should be better.

John Dunn 25 born Edinburgh, Grear Spirit
Sarah Dunn 27 born Linlithgow, Grocers & wife
Agatha Dunn 10
Jane Handyside 17

I thought I had found him in Canada in 1901 but although that John Dunn gave his birth as 17th March 1846 he is an Irish shoemaker.

In Findmypast 1871 census,

John is indeed a Grocer, Agatha is aged 1 (not 10 as in ancestry), but address and everything else is the same.

Thanks for that John - Agatha was easy to find on the IGI with your info. They also had a son Thomas in 1872 so I think there is a good chance it is the correct John Dunn.

Hi,
Thank you all for your help yes this definitely is the John Dunn I am looking for .He married Sarah Mickel in 1868 at Linlighgow
I have just found that they had two daughters both named Agatha who both died young .
I just can't find them with the son Thomas you mentioned in 1881 census.
In 1901 census Sarah is a visitor to a relatives home in West Lothian .

Any thing else you may suggest in my quest to find them is much appreciated.

Thanks again.
