Robert George Dunn

Hello,

I have been on here before asking about Robert George Dunn!

Born in 1913 Indianapolis, died in 1950 Indianapolis.

Mother was Grace Jones (DOB 1890), Father was Robert Dunn (DOB 1888)

What i'm trying to find out is who his wives were?

Robert George Dunn was married to Jeanette Payne before she shot and killed him - WOW! But apparently according to newspapers, she was one of four wives that he has had! How on earth can i find out his previous wives? I don't think he had children with any of them... he had 1 child with a lady in my family but they weren't married!

Thank you x

Previous post for reference - with a lot of background research already done :

It would be better to continue on the original thread, P, to avoid people doing the same work over again, and for ease of seeing what's already been found.

The marriage to Mae is on Familysearch but the image does appear to give Robert Guld Dunn

No-one who isn't directly involved with the people can confirm anything.

Helpers on here can only post what they find on the internet.

Decisions about the relevance are left to the person seeking help.
