Have now got marriage certificate of Dennis Dunn and Mary Ann Kelly and his father is James Dunn (butcher)
It seems that Dennis married 3 times.

It is also looking increasingly like Dennis Dunn married 3 times. Catherine Gallagher, Ann Gibson and Mary Ann Kelly.

It is looking like Catherine Gallagher died 1846 there is also a death for 7 week old child named Catherine 1846. Could she have died during or shortly after childbirth.

I think Margaret Gallagher could have been her sister. Thanks will check this out.
Thanks Kusinta

Dennis is on the 1851 census so 1847 death can't be him, but I couldn't find him on 1861

The witnesses at the marriage of Dennis Dunn and Sarah Gallagher in 1832 were Thomas Parry , the mark of Margaret Gallagher and what looks like Dennis Dunn.

Groom Dennis Dunn signed the register, and bride Catherine Gallagher made her mark. As I said before, Dennis was a weaver and a bachelor, Catherine was a spinster, both 'of this parish'.

I've found Dennis Dunn died 1857 dec quarter age 46 Manchester which makes his birth about 1811. Which could be my Dennis.

Yes I went o n to see if there was anymore information like witness names that I could tie in to the family.
The family they were with on 1841 census was a Mary Welsh who was born in Ireland 1773/1777. Wondered if she may have been a relative.

It's on Ancestry and Kucinta gave the details from the entry above.

Have just looked at Lancashire online records and for the church Dennis married Catherine and the record's for 1832 are missing.

I think that maybe Catherine did die so that isn't her on 1861 census. It could be her death in 1846 then he 're married 3 years later to Mary Ann. The 2 girls were going Sarah would have been 13/14 and Jane about 9. I have found a Dennis Dunn on 1851 census so don't think the death for 1847 can be right.
If not and Catherine was alive I'm going in the wrong direction.

Possible death for Catherine, aged 37, in 1846:

DUNN, CATHARINE 37
GRO Reference: 1846 M Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 20 Page 442

A death for a Dennis Dunn in Manchester (if widowed Catherine in 1861 is correct)

DUNN, DENNIS 50
GRO Reference: 1847 D Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 20 Page 691

Age is roughly right.

Shirley the marriage in 1849 looks promising. Catherine could have died between 1841 to 1849.
Thanks

Thanks also Dea
Didn't know if there were 2 Dennis Dunns as the birth dates differ in the census records.

Sorry, had added the birth of Jane to the Gallagher marriage post at same time as Dea was posting it.

Thanks kusinta
I wondered whether he had married twice, but didn't know if they were 2 different families. On the 1841 census they were with a family called Welch.
But these dates seem to fit.
Thanks

That could well be his marriage to Catherine - I had been looking at a different birth for Jane but I am now drawn towards this one:#

DUNN, JANE GOLLOHER Order
GRO Reference: 1841 M Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 20 Page 601

The mmname could easily be a mistranscription of Gallagher?
