Birth
Robert Dunn's father was John Dunn (a gardener).
In 1861 there is a Robert Dunn, who is 20 years old, lodging at Cuthbert Street, Westoe. He is a sailor, and born in Scotland. This could be our Robert Dunn.
Marriage
Robert Dunn married Elizabeth Harley on the 3rd July 1865 at the parish church of St Hilda, South Shields, Durham.
They were both of full age, of this parish, and unmarried. He was listed as a mariner, and his father was John Dunn, a gardener. Her father was John Harley, a teacher.
The witnesses were Thomas Stewart and Dorothy Coulson.
Interestingly in 1881, when Robert was dead, there was living in the same house as his family two widows, Mary Ann Stuart, and a Dorothy Harley.
From the Shields Daily News, 04 July 1865:
MARRIAGES. DUNN - HARLEY.- At St. Hilda's Church, South Shields, yesterday, Mr Robert Dunn to Miss Elizabeth Harley.
Children
They had at least two children:
- Mary Ann Stewart Dunn (1st May 1866)
- Margaret Harley Dunn (~1868)
This is probably our Margaret Dunn as she was born in ~1869:
BMD:M: Margaret Harley Dunn, Jul-Aug-Sep, 1897, South Shields, Vol: 10a, Page 1089 Adam Herdman (but the other marriage on the page is John Harley Coulson!)
This is not our Margaret Harley Dunn, as she was born in 1891: BMD:M: Margaret Harley Dunn, Oct-Nov-Dec, 1909, Newcastle upon Tyne, Vol: 10b, Page 251 (Frederick Armstrong or Thomas Wakenshaw).
J. H. Coulson (John Harley Coulson) was the son (1870) of:
Robert William Coulson m. Dorothy Ann Jane Harley 18 Jan 1865, Westoe, Durham
So two (probable) cousins married (probably) on the same day and are on the same page in the register.
Dorothy Harley was allegedly born in June 1841 in Warrington Quay, Northumberland
Death
By 1871 Elizabeth was widowed, so Robert would have died between 1868 and 1871.
Other References
These are records for people with the same name as Robert Dunn, but might not be the same person. Even if they are not the same person, they are useful to record for elimination of other records.
BMD:B: Margaret Harley Dunn, Jul-Aug-Sep, 1868, South Shields, 10a, 597
From the Newcastle Journal, 20 February 1864:

This might not be the right Robert Dunn, as this was over in Liverpool (and there were several Robert Dunns active at the time).
