Louise Report 18 Dec 2009 11:08

I'm looking for birth, marriage and death information for Peter Dunn.
He was Born in Dublin Ireland in 1843 give or take one year. Moved to Sheffield park by 1871 and somewhere in between married Catherine (also Irish but from Mayo ). He had at least 5 children. William, Margaret, Ellen, Elizabeth and Sarah.
His occupation was Blacksmith.
I'm not sure if he married in England or Ireland but his first son was born in 1869.
Not sure how to search Irish records any help would be appreciated.
