  James and Jane's children
  Samuel b 1808,he went to Glasgow to start a cab co which was carried on by his son.His 1st wife was Mary McCulloch,when she died he married Harriet Dobbin
  Eliza 1810 she married Robert McGimpsey in 1848  and died in 1904

  Andrew 1820 he married Jane Mcwhirk 1849,he was a farmer,they had 10 children,not sure when Jane died,Andrew died 1902,I think he's buried in Ards in Movilla.
  Agnes 1825,she married John Downey 1851,she died the same year,childbirth?

  David 1858 married Marta Grey 1877,worked as a shoemaker till his death 1921
 Henry 1860 married a Lizzie? no more info
 That is all the info I have on the Gunning Family except for my grandad and his sister.
 Does that answer any of your questions?
 I looked on the Griffith Valuations and saw that William's house is bigger than the others,how can I find out what happened to it? I can't work out what the address would have been.
 I will look at Gunnion,I have come across other family members whose names were mis spelt.
  Will get back to you soon Susan

No I haven't contacted them because Yorkshire Indexers found the grave for me along with others belonging to my family but in different cemeteries.I have the no etc of the grave and I was told there is a head stone.The grave belongs to Laurence Wear,it's in an old part of the cemetery.He was a brother of my gran's.There was a sister who died young who is buried in Beckett St in a communal grave.My great grandparents Fanny and Tom Wear are buried in Shadwell Cemetery Leeds,I have photos of all these graves I'm just missing Laurence.

 Many thanks for your interest in my ancestors,the photo of Catherine referred to is on my tree on Ancestry. Catherine's husband,Benjamin is buried in The Old Cemetery in Southampton together with a sister in law,Eleanor and his mother in law Louisa Masters,nee Kennett.Also in the same cemetery is Benjamin's father,also Benjamin,he died in 1857 and a sister Mary who died 1856 aged 3.
  It's Henry and Catherine whose graves I can't find.Henry had lived in London,in Camden before he went to live in Hackney/Stoke Newington, where he was manager of a coal yard. I've looked in many places and tried all the sites for burials without success.
  Catherine,lived in Southampton for a long time,she then went to live with her son Harold in Kennington,Ashford.I don't know exactly when she went to live there as there are no census after 1911.Harold had a shop,a drapers,his youngest son Bernard,died in 1928 aged 10,could Catherine be buried with her grandson?
  I tried contacting Ashford council but they aren't very co-operative with their records. So ideas please.

I must apologize for not getting back to anyone before now.I spent most of April in hospital,prior to that I didn't realize how ill I was but I wasn't taking things in.I have now made a note of all the sites that have been suggested and I will work through them to see what I can find.Hopefully I can fill in a few gaps.Will report back soon.
