Find Ancestors

Can anyone help please?
My Great Uncle, Percy Armstrong Dunn b1886 Sunderland Durham was in the 1901 census living with Robert Armstrong & Harriet Dunn b1837 (married 9/1854 in Durham 10a255) Percy was listed as Nephew. One of Robert & Harriets children is Thomas Dunn Armstrong. I have tried to find out who Harriets parents are but can't find her in 1841 or 1851 census.
In 1861 she lists her birthplace as Chester le Street, in 1871, 1891 & 1901 as Hetton and in 1881 as Eppleton (all Duham).
Please can anyone find her parents as I am sure she could be related to my Dunn's. I have tried tree matches here on GR, but lots of people don't reply and those that have dont have any more info than I've already found.
Thanks, Michelle

Think you need the marriage cert

Hi Glitter Baby
On the 1851 Census, Charles aged 10 is my Great Grandfather, Percy's father. So I couldn't find the 1841 Census as they spelt Dunn as Durn. And as Harriet is a servant aged 13 on 1851 that's why I was stuck. Thanks so much for your help
Michelle

Please would someone mind looking up Percy Armstrong Dunn on the 1911 Census as the trail does seem to run cold after the 1901 Census?
Percy was born in Sunderland Durham in 1886, parents were Charles Dunn and Eliza Dunn nee Carrington
Many Thanks
Michelle

Thanks Glitter Baby & K
Brith year a bit out and on the whole this lot been quite good with dates!
Was a Cook in 1901, now a Surface Labourer in 1911, I know they all swop about but that's quite different!
Thanks
Michelle

I did find this??

Name: Percy Armstrong Dunn
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1886
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1886
Age at Death: 0
Registration district: Chester Le Street
Inferred County: Durham
Volume: 10a
Page: 250

Hi K,
I know, I've seen it to.....it's very confusing as I know he was still alive in 1891 as a 5 year old and in 1901 as a 15 year old Cook.

As the Percy, who is listed as dying in Chester Le Street, is listed as being born in Hexham (when the other children were born in Sunderland) I wonder whether it is a different Percy and yours was called Percy as a nickname and had another birth name?

Just a thought and maybe why we can't find him post 1901.

Kay

Hi K,
Hadn't thought of that, but his parents have listed him as Percy in 1901 but I suppose with so many children you may forget if one is using a nickname. I suppose the only answer is a Birth Cert??
Just been looking thru all my stuff to find out where I got the middle name from cos I thought you may ask!! But can't find anything anywhere but I wouldn't have just made it up!!! I will keep on looking
Thanks for everything you done
Michelle

Off line now for a while
Thanks to everyone who has helped me today
Much appreciated
Michelle
