Henrietta Sarah Dunn, daughter of the above.

As usual, I couldn't resist a little further research.
Sarah married John George Dunn, by licence, on 23 November 1859 in St Andrews Church in the parish of Islington, Middlesex. Page number 174 entry number 347.
He was 27, a bachelor, living at 18 Arundel Terrace, and described as a 'China merchant'. Sarah gave her address as Sudbury Suffolk, though her father was presumably vicar of Maxey as he was signing entries in the register in 1857 and 1860.
