Does anyone know which line of Dunn's these were.
I think the shop was J L Dunn? I went to school with the son of the then owner, but that was a long time ago!
My grandmother always maintained that we were related to them somehow, and certainly some of the Dunn's we were related to had shops, mainly on the Flood St area, but that was many years before.

No dobs but the shop was there in the 1970s - 80s, and probably before but know little else - realise it's a bit of a long shot but someone may know?

Can you put the link to your Dunns on from Bcc

then we can see if we can connect them

I wonder if it is this line

Births Sep 1913
Dunn John L Laing Dudley 6b 1919

Births Jun 1915
Dunn Isabel G Laing Dudley 6b 1889

poss marriage
1905 DUNN John W LAING Isabel Dudley, St Thomas Dudley Register Office 204/043/255

So a John W Dunn b abt 1883

on 1901 we have a John Dunn aged 18 Iron Mongers asst
father Wm Dunn b abt 1849 Pork Butcher living
22 Himley Rd Dudley

Births Jun 1883
DUNN John Walter Dudley 6c 125

we dont have this lot anyway on Bcc so i will add some ....might be totally wrong one though for your fruit shop ones


Can you work it back the guy you were at school with to this lot?

Should have included this!

If there is a connection it will be through Elizabeth Dunn here:

Elizabeth was my grandmothers grandmother (ie 2x greats to me).

My grandmother also mentioned a 'Florrie' Dunn who had a shop in Flood Street. No idea who that would be.
