John Dunn & Agnes Russell - Scremerston/Berwick area

[norfolk white]

John Dunn was born about 1807 (do not know where) and died 12 June 1884 at Scremerston, Berwick aged 77 years according to death records. 1881 Census shows John, aged 75, as living with his daughter Phillis, her
husband George and their family at Ancroft and being a widower.

He married Agnes Russell who was born in 1809 (do not know where) and was buried at Shoreswood Colliery, Berwick, 16 Jan 1873, aged 63 according to buriel records.

They had 3 children that I know of:
1. Barbary (F) born 7 Feb 1839 at Berwick
2. William (M) born 29 Jan 1841 at Berwick
3. Phillis (F) born West Allardine and christened 23 Feb 1843 at Berwick. She married George Mason on 29 Aug 1863 at Berwick.

Any info on place of births, parents, siblins, etc., wanted.

Thanks,
