Brick wall has fallen down!

After the death of a family member, two suitcases were found in the attic containing all sorts of family records and memorabilia. One was the family bible for Charles and Martha Alexander. There were a couple of scraps of paper in some envelopes, one containing information about Martha and her birth and the birth of her brother Abraham. Also mentioned were the names of her mother's parents saying "Mary the Daughter of Maurice and Hannah Dunn".

The Dunns came from Lambourn!
