Robert STRONG
- Tiverton
On behalf of a friend I'm trying to find a birth and/or Christening for Robert Strong.
Born between 1806 - 1810 according to various census returns.
He was born either Holcombe Regis,Devon or Tiverton,Devon - again varies between different census returns,
although we believe he was born in Holcombe Regis and lived in Tiverton after his marriage.
Robert married Elizabeth Baker 9/12/1839 in Tiverton. He died 1879 in Tiverton.
According to his marriage cert, when he married Elizabeth, he was a widower,
If anybody could find a previous marriage for him (possibly to Mary Sharland), I would be most grateful.

Hi all
I'm from Sydney Australia and am in the process of tracing my DUNN family history. The info I have so far is that my great great grandfather was Joseph Frederick Dunn born approx 1853 in Tiverton to a Joseph and Jessie Dunn. He was approx 17-20 when he left England to come to Australia and settled in a place called Frederickton in the Macleay/Kempsey region in New South Wales. Here he married a local girl named Evelyn Isabel Shaw and had 5-6 children John Frederick, Arthur Ormond, Jessie M, Charles Daniel and Sidney Joseph. Joseph was the publican of the Post office hotel in Frederickton from 1891 until his death in 1900 from an unknown illness at the age of 47. I am trying to find out any information about Joseph and his family before he came to Australia and would appreciate any help . Thanks heaps
