Find Ancestors

I see, yes I made a mistake, His brother was called Joseph, but both say their middle names were John yet neither is registered as that.
Joseph's death record even shows as Joseph John Mckenna!
Confusing! and to make matters worse as Mary Dunn lost her husband so young she re married a Thomas, they had twins and named them Thomas and Mary! same as them! Seriously its confusing

Janey,
How did you find all 3 children to Dunn in West Derby so fast, what site do you use?
I always have to go through each set of 4-7 surname matches for each year. Just wondered if there is a site that finds or Makes matches faster??

Ancestry --

http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8782

births 1915-2005

Just search for the surname of the child, with the mother's surname (add a date range if you're dealing with Smith and Jones).

I swear by Ancestry, much as I despise it. ;)

This site is free ,but not yet transcribed up to date,it wont be long though.

www.freebmd.org.uk

But does have all the births plus one more??

So another Dunn / Mckenna marriage somewhere?

Actually, Viv, there are 5 McKenna-Dunn births in Liverpool dist 1917-1926; I figured they all belonged together to another couple.

Sisters marrying brothers maybe?

There are also McKenna-Dunn births in Liverpool 1912 and 1915, so I suspect:

Marriages Mar 1905
> Dunn Maria Liverpool 8b 158
> McKENNA Michael Liverpool 8b 158
Padget Harry Liverpool 8b 158
Shalliker Jane Liverpool 8b 158

and a rather enormous family over 20 years.

beat me to it.

Shall I find them on 1911?

Not sisters then...

3 of the Dunn Mckenna births (1926 28 and 33) are father and 2 siblings.
His older sister and brother, parents are Joseph Mckenna and Mary Dunn.
Mt fatherwas always told his Mckeena family wwas very large and mostly in Liverpool, so I am guessing you just found a whole bunch of them.
I have applied for marriage cert and hope his fathers name is on it, at the least it will have his age so I can work backwards.
I hope to try and get a picture of him.
