I have James and Jane (nee Pollard) Lunn as parents of Thomas Henry Lunn b 1863 in Brighton. By 1869 at christening for Thomas Henry, James was deceased.

I cannot find birth or death for James. Can anyone help??

it looks as though the parent married some time before his birth - do you know the names of his siblings?

I am thinking your Jane had a couple of daughters before she married - a Ruth and a Henrietta. They are both on 1851 census, with an unmarried mother Jane Pollard.

Thanks, Selina, for suggestion that it cold be Lund - the only problem with this though is that if james Lunn (Lund) died in Dec 1/4 of 1869 it does not tie in with the fact that James Lunn, father of Thomas Henry was shown as deceased on Baptism cert dated May 30 1869. Address was 4 Codrington Place, church was St Paul's.

Any other ideas??

A Joseph not a James is all I can find, might be a relation somewhere

Deaths Dec 1863

From the IGI there is this possible christening. Do you know James father's name?

Received a PM from Pamela.......
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If the marr to Jane Elliott Pollard is correct then James father name is Thomas. Not absolutrly sure about this marriage tho.

I can't link Jane Elliott Pollard to Thomas Henry Lunn. Thos b 1863 parents James and Jane Lunn.

The christening above in 1838 could be for James Lunn who married Jane Pollard in 1851. It seems to be a coincidence that both his mother and his wife are called Jane. Could be quite a late christening as well.

I think that Jane Pollard would be the daughter-in-law of Thomas Henry Lunn.

This is a possible marriage for James's parent (Thomas and Jane).

THOMAS LUNN
Spouse: JANE WATKINS
Marriage: 20 SEP 1831 Wisborough Green, Sussex, England
