Find Ancestors

I'd tend to agree that they didn't have children.
You could play around with the following to see if you can access any further records

Iowa, Marriage Records, 1880-1937

John P Dean
Birth Year: abt 1881
Gender: Male
Marriage Age: 25
Marriage Date: 27 Nov 1906
Marriage Place: Black Hawk, Iowa, USA
Father: John Dean
Mother: Catherine S Pullen
Spouse: Josephine Johnson - age 27 born Otranto

His occupation was Machinist

Yes he married Josephine Johnson 27/11/1906 Black Hawk, Iowa, USA

Do you mean John Percival Dean (mmn Pullen)? Althought the Americans often use their mothers maiden name as a middle one, its confusing if his official middle name also starts with a P :-)

So I have John Pullen Dean 1882 Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States and his sister Ethel Kate Dean 1883....Having trouble finding John Pullen Dean ..

Thank you sorry it took me a while to respond

Looks like John & Catherine married in England:
