Doxford-Dunn-Smith in Durham ,England
I have just received my great-great aunt's Entry of Marriage and learned that her full name was Mary Jane Doxford Dunn. She was born in 1847 in Hawthorn, Durham, England to William Dunn and Deborah Elizabeth Smith Dunn both from the Sedgefield area. Mary Jane married Patrick Joseph McAloon, an Irish shoemaker in 1866in Thornley. They later immigrated to the USA going first to Geauga County, Ohio where Mary Jane's sister, Sarah Dorothy Dunn Cotton lived, before moving on to the Dakota Territory and eventually to Yuba City, CA. Does anyone know of family ties between the Dunn's or the Smith's and the Doxford family?
