The newspapers may be worth a look. Then, depending when you are looking for there are the census and 1939 register and the Electoral Rolls. Look for birth marriages and deaths on www.freebmd.org.uk Finally, try googling Dunn family + quarry bank - there seems to be plenty.

	Welcome to the boards, Jackie. Can you give us more to go on, please? First names? Roughly when? What sort of information are you hoping to find? Or are you hoping to make contact with living Dunn relatives? There are a lot of Dunns in Quarry Bank in the 1891 and 1901 censuses. For instance: Benjamin Dunn in the 1901 England Census Name: Benjamin Dunn Age: 46 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1855 Relation to Head: Head Gender: Male Spouse: Mary A Dunn Birth Place: Quarry Bank, Staffordshire, England Civil parish: Quarry Bank Search Photos: View blank form Ecclesiastical parish: Quarry Bank Christchurch Town: Quarry Bank County/Island: Staffordshire Country: England Registration district: Stourbridge Sub-registration district: Kingswinford ED, institution, or vessel: 41 Neighbors: Piece: 2762 Folio: 16 Page number: 23 Household schedule number: 131 Household Members (Name) Age Relationship Benjamin Dunn 46 Head Mary A Dunn 44 Wife Elizabeth Dunn 22 Daughter Ben Dunn 20 Son Amy Dunn 14 Daughter George Dunn 12 Son John Dunn 10 Son Nellie Dunn 6 Daughter And another family, also in 1901 - just for example: Roland Dunn in the 1901 England Census Name: Roland Dunn [Rowland Dunn] Age: 73 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1828 Relation to Head: Head Gender: Male Spouse: Mary Dunn Birth Place: Netherend, Worcestershire, England Civil parish: Quarry Bank Search Photos: View blank form Ecclesiastical parish: Quarry Bank Town: Amblecote County/Island: Staffordshire Country: England Registration district: Stourbridge Sub-registration district: Kingswinford ED, institution, or vessel: 40 Neighbors: Piece: 2761 Folio: 134 Page number: 6 Household schedule number: 30 Household Members (Name) Age Relationship Roland Dunn 73 Head Mary Dunn Wife Phoebe Dunn 32 Daughter Elizabeth Dunn 29 Daughter George Dunn 26 Son Gertrude Dunn 23 Daughter George Cartwright 69 Servant Clara Wood 51 Servant Gwendoline Dunn 8 Granddaughter

	If you want to find someone on GR who has a link, use the ‘search all member trees’ facility Although, as you’ve been a GR member since 2004, I expect you’ve already tried that. What are you hoping for?

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,002 Send Message	As there are pages and pages of Dunns from Quarry bank in Search all members trees I suspect she hadn’t yet tried it.

	Jackie seems to have her tree on GR, so anyone connected has the chance of contacting her, if they are interested.
