Thanks for the reply to a posting I made some years ago. I have little information on the Dunns of Mevagissey, most of which was gleaned from the Census (now available on the internet. Other info gained from helpful members of Ancestry.com. in particular one extremely helpful Linda Tillotson based in the USA). My interest was focussed on trying to identify both the James Dunn and the Jane Allen who were married in Mevagissey on 22nd April 1783. (With so many of the same Christian names given to various families bearing the same surname, I found it all most confusing) My direct line also includes the Rolling family. Another James Dunn married Ann Rolling on 8th Feb 1824. My connection there is James Allen who married Lucinda Jane Rolling in Mevagissey in 1849. (She was the daughter of Anthony Martin Rolling). You may wish to contact Helen Doe who is well known for her research and lectures in Maritime History, smuggling etc in Cornwall. You can google her name for her web page. She has given lectures in Cornwall including the subject of a Captain James Dunn, smuggler and shipbuilder I will be pleased to receive any information you care to forward concerning the either the Allens or Dunns. Thanks again for your interest. Ken Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
