Hi Ginny,
Many thanks for all that info.
Thomas's first wife was Bertha Harvey - she had a child Maud Emily Judge in 1885. Since Emily was in the US and she had Thomas's child Letitia in 1886 (possibly 1888) I assume he must have gone there maybe to visit his father's grave and met up with Emily. He came back because Bertha had another child Cecil Stanley Judge b.Jun Q 1890.
Meanwhile Emily had married Hans Johnson in Manhattan on 15 March 1891.
Bertha died in 1892 and Emily came to Liverpool where Thomas met her and married her - Thomas William Judge to Emily Johnson Jun Q 1893 Liverpool 8b 63 - actual date 9 June 1893.
I think Emily's mother Mrs. Letitia Dunn came with her and possibly daughter Letitia (I don't have the passenger details NY to Liverpool) but Mrs. Letitia Dunn arrived in NY from Liverpool on the Teutonic 15 November 1894.
I would be most grateful if you can fill any more gaps! Passenger list details etc.
Thanks again
Barry

Thanks Dee,
Isaac must have died within days of Annie Letitia being born. So she could have been his child.......or not.
John must have been John Lees' son but he doesn't seem to have used the name Lees - always appearing as John Dunn. There are no John Lees in Stourbridge 1869 but there are two John Dunn's!

Hi Dee,
I think you are probably right. Maybe Isaac left after he found out Annie wasn't his. From what I read divorce was uncommon amongst ordinary folk - they just parted and said they were widowed when wanting to marry again.
I think John born 1869 was probably the son of John Lees but not sure if he was registered as Lees or Dunn. There is a John Lees Dec Q 1869 in Kings Norton but also two John Dunn's in Stourbridge 1869. Maybe Letitia had already parted from John Lees by the time he was born. He appears with Letitia's maiden name in 1871 and as Dunn afterwards.
Once again thanks for all your help.
Barry

Hello again Dee, Chris and mgnv,
Again many thanks for all your efforts in unravelling this one!
I'm still trying to puzzle out how the Dunn's met up with the Shaw's.
Charles Shaw started out as a railway goods porter in Derby and by 1871 was a goods guard in Cambridge. I'm also interested in the history of the railways and surprisingly the network was already big by 1860. There was a line from Derby to Leicester and from there to Birmingham and also to Cambridge via Peterborough. So it's possible Charles met his wife in the Cambridge area and the Dunn family in the Birmingham area - goods trains were rather slow and he would have to have stayed overnight away from home. He could even have fathered Annie Letitia!
It looks like Letitia's last child with Isaac Dunn was Walter in 1866.
Annie was born 5.11.1867 and John was born in 1869 after Letitia's marriage to John Lees.
I can't find a death for Isaac senior though!
