as far as knew Robert was a mariner the maria anna death could be right
john marriage I don't know I have found quite a few marriages
did mary loveday have a child Robert?

I think this later baptism for another child (if correct) might eliminate the death posted for Mary A:

Anna Joanna Dunn
Age: 0
Birth Date: 17 Sep 1869
Baptism Date: 21 Sep 1869
Baptism Place: St Patrick, Liverpool, Lancashire, England

Mother: Maria Anna Hughes

if the marriage for Robert dunn maria hughes is correct the father of Robert is john dunn but who did he marry??

I just can't seem to find Robert on the 1861 or 1881 census to check his birth place, but being a mariner he could have been out at sea. Maria Anna is clearly with her parents and children in 1861. If we could find him we may know where to look for a birth to try to establish his mothers name.

How have your tracked back to the family, is it through the son Robert (c1863)?

hi all just found a john dunn baptism 19 November 1809 birth 18oct, st Nicholas reg no 1469
father Thomas dunn mariner
mother alice bond abode maquire st file no 1469 just to confuse my self some more

I could not find Robert on the census but took it he was at sea I started tracking back from garrett dunn 1886 he married 1910 mathra Harriot ashton but also married Elizabeth McGarrigle 1906 was jailed nov 1910 for 3 months for being married without being divorced garrett father was Robert he was mariner fireman

Re your post 13:07, this is jumping back another generation without establishing the links to your family on the subsequent generations. Highly possible you've just found another John Dunn as it's not an uncommon name.

You have previously said John was the Irish connection (suggesting an Irish birth?), but the one you've found baptized is in Liverpool, and the 1871 census would suggest that Robert (c1828) was born Ireland. So is this likely?

Malyon found a potential naval record, suggesting your Robert was born in Antrim, Ireland. It might be worth buying the naval record from the national archives site.
