Patrick Dunn, Ann Breen

WexfordWexford Town (Wexford)

I am looking for information about Patrick Dunn, born in Wexford around 1830. He married Mary Reddy, also born in Wexford around 1830,and emigrated to the US around 1875. I think Mary Reddy's parents were Thomas Reddy and Ann or Anne Breen. Any information at all including, marriage, Patrick's parents, any children etc would very helpful.. The information I have on Thomas Reddy indicates he was born in Wexford around 1800. Ann Breen was born around 1798 based on what I have found. Thank you for any help!

​My apologies for the very late response. I haven't been able to locate a marriage record for Patrick and Mary. There doesn't seem to be a baptism in Wexford for a Patrick between 1819 and 1839 but perhaps the Early Birth and Marriage Index will be of help to you. It could be the case that he was born in a parish and at a time that predates the parish records:

I couldn't find a marriage Thomas or Ann or children of that couple

There are a few Dunn entries listed on the Griffith's Valuation but you may also want to consider a search under Dunne:

Do you know if Ann Breen had a sister, Elizabeth Breen born in 1795?Parents may have been Mary and John Breen.
