I think you could be following the wrong Robert.

The son Robert, born to Robert Dunn and Mary Hughes was Robert Joseph, but as he doesn't appear on the census with his siblings it's likely he died in 1864:

Birth:
DUNN, ROBERT JOSEPH (mother's maiden name: HUGHES)
GRO Reference: 1863 D Quarter in LIVERPOOL Volume 08B Page 147

Baptism:
Name: Robertus Joseph Dunn
Age: 0
Birth Date: 29 Sep 1863
Baptism Date: 29 Sep 1863
Baptism Place: St Vincent de Paul, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Father: Roberti Dunn
Mother: Maria Anna Hughes

Death:
DUNN, ROBERT JOSEPH 1
GRO Reference: 1864 D Quarter in LIVERPOOL Volume 08B Page 164

Not sure if his parents ever married, as his Mum marries in 1867 and lists herself as a spinster:
