Jackie seems to have her tree on GR, so anyone connected has the chance of contacting her, if they are interested.

As there are pages and pages of Dunns from Quarry bank in Search all members trees I suspect she hadn’t yet tried it.

If you want to find someone on GR who has a link, use the ‘search all member trees’ facility
Although, as you’ve been a GR member since 2004, I expect you’ve already tried that.

What are you hoping for?

What sort of links? You’ve given no information. Where have you looked?

Assuming Dunn is a surname take a look at Search/all members trees.
The newspapers may be worth a look.

Then, depending when you are looking for there are the census and 1939 register and the Electoral Rolls. Look for birth marriages and deaths on www.freebmd.org.uk

Finally, try googling Dunn family + quarry bank - there seems to be plenty.
