I'm looking for info on the parents of Eliza Ann Dunn b. 1856 Hatfield.
I believe they were William Dunn b. 1829 Lincoln and Hannah Needham b. 1829 Long Riston.
Any help would be appreciated.

Her birth certificate would give you the names of her parents and fathers occupation which would help you.

Where have you come across Eliza - can you post census?

The marriage of the couple you suggest

Dunn William Sculcoates 9d 277
NEEDHAM Hannah Sculcoates 9d 277

And early births to them in Skirlaugh RD - East Riding, Yorks

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
DUNN, ELIZA NEEDHAM
GRO Reference: 1856 D Quarter in SKIRLAUGH Volume 09D Page 217

DUNN, EDWARD NEEDHAM
GRO Reference: 1858 J Quarter in SKIRLAUGH Volume 09D Page 235

DUNN, JOHN NEEDHAM NEEDHAM

DUNN, WILLIAM NEEDHAM

The daughter of William & Hannah did not have a middle name. There does seem to an Eliza Ann, daughter of James, in the East Ridings with a similar name. ( edit: that should have said age)

If you know you have the right marriage for Eliza Ann then you need her marriage certificate to identify the right father.

That family in 1871 - in HATFIELD, Yorkshire.

Shows the importance of saying Where. I had immediately thought of Hatfield, Hertfordshire

William Snr place of birth is Barrow, Lincolnshire (Barrow on Humber probably)
Eliza age should read 5 and year of birth should read 1856

Will report incorrect transcription of surname as it is clearly Dunn

I'm just going on info that I was given, they didn't state where they found her as Eliza Ann.

What other information have you been given

Does anything posted fit what you know (have been told)

Does the person who gave you the information have the 1894 marriage certificate and is that a proved generation.

What are the details from the certificate if available - it will name her Father if she knew him

What makes you think her parents are William and Hannah

I've only just started looking into her, as I've researched her husband Albert Barr's side, but had nothing else on her.
I was just told her name, birth year and place of birth and possible parents were William and Hannah by someone in the family.
I do not know if a marriage or birth certificate was obtained
