Just to note that a large proportion of the Drums in the English censuses were born in Ireland, and can't see Farrell in the 1841, or any of the 1851 household in 1861. He died in 1863.

Oh, here they are in 1861:

Name: Farrel Dunn
Age: 70
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1791
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Jane
Gender: Male
Where born: Ireland

Civil Parish: St Swithin
County/Island: Lincolnshire
Country: England


Looks like Ireland! Had you not checked the censuses, or do you have other info re his birth?
