Hi Jim, Just got in from work. Yes I think that maybe the one, all the BMD's for that side of the family from that date on are in Fulham. Have been trying to check for a brother. Will have a look after dinner, Thanks for your help. Linda

Is this the one? A bit young and several siblings, Has James a brother? 1901 View Record Amy Dunn abt 1899 London, England Niece Fulham London View Record Annie Dunn abt 1898 London, England Niece Fulham London View Record Chas Dunn abt 1896 London, England Nephew Fulham London View Record Emily Dunn abt 1878 London, England Wife Fulham London View Record James Dunn abt 1871 Manchester Head Fulham London View Record Mary Dunn abt 1901 London, England Niece Fulham London

Right, I am just going to throw this in: Birth Thomas Ferguson Dunn Year of Registration: 1864 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Morpeth County: Durham, Northumberland Volume: 10b Page: 283 Probably not? Suzy

Linda That last comment is very interesting, and VERY in line with what Merry suggested. Mmmmmm - blinkin' intriguing. I don't like to be beaten, so will try another tact. Suzy

Sorry took so long to get back little grandson felt poorly. He's having a story with Grandad at the moment Right...Walter Albert Trowbridge is my husbands Grandad. Witnesses at the wedding were (not very helpful) A.L.Howard and M.F. Smedley. I found an Annie Dunn on 1901 census living as neice in Fulham, which is where in 1915 she got married. Also when Annie married Walter they had 8 children, looking on the BMD for mothers maiden name 5 had Dunn 1 had Ferguson-Dunn and 2 had Ferguson. Linda

So, if that's the correct Jane (aged 41!) then the father's name on Annie's marriage cert must be fiction for his surname (Dunn) if not the whole thing?? Under more usual circumstances I would have guessed the father was called Ferguson. Merry

This is Walter in 1901: Arthur G Trowbridge abt 1887 Kensington, London, England Son Hammersmith London Frederich J Trowbridge abt 1882 Kensington, London, England Son Hammersmith London James Trowbridge abt 1861 Stepney, London, England Head Hammersmith London Lilly L Trowbridge abt 1893 Marylebone, London, England Daughter Hammersmith London Rosena Trowbridge abt 1862 Kensington, London, England Wife Hammersmith London Walter A Trowbridge abt 1889 Marylebone, London, England Son Hammersmith London Just eliminating and looking for young Annie. Suzy

Linda Annie married a Walter A Trowbridge. What are the names of the witnesses on the marriage certificate? Suzy

I thought that Julie. Maybe it was her last chance of motherhood, but she was unmarried. She is living in Beckenham on the 1901, which is pretty close to Lewisham, where her daughter was born. Suzy

if this jane mercy dunn, was born 1855, isnt she a little old to be having a daughter in 1896??? (41) just thinking out loud Julie

1881 Jane M. Dunn abt 1856 Islington Servant Camberwell London 1891 Jane M Dunn abt 1856 Islington, London, England Servant Beckenham Kent 1901 Jane Indunn abt 1856 Islington, London, England Servant Beckenham Kent If this is Jane, she is single. Have you got daughter?

found the birth for jane Jane Mercy Dunn - 1855 Q3 - Shoreditch - 1c 158

Seems a little bit odd - mum has middle name of MERCY - father has middle name of TENDAR (tender?). Do you think it is a made up name?

hiya, i know this probably isnt going to help, but perhaps she made the name up to 'save face' when getting married, Julie

Hope your grandson is OK? By the time you get back, I won't be here!! I couldn't easily find Jane and Annie in 1901. Have you got them? I was wondering if Jane was still unmarried (as the birth cert suggests) or perhaps she was married/widowed, but had a child with someone else. The reason for me wondering was that I couldn't see a birth reg for a Jane Mercy Dunn. I did see this though.....
