Kent / Re: Gunner Thomas and Wife Jane Info on Hever
« on: Monday 18 November 19 21:36 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you all very much for your assistance and the links which I had not seen.

He is indeed the son of Thomas and Sarah as stated. I suddenly realized that I had correspondence with Lionel Cole many many years ago now, but didn't follow it up as thought at the time this line was not part of mine. Well you know how these things go!  ::)

Thanks again for your help.

Hello

Gender:    Male
Christening Date:    1 Jan 1827
Christening Place:    Hever, Kent, England
Father:    Thomas Gunner
Mother:    Jane Gunner
------------------------------------------------------------
The possible marriage I spoke of re the parents (Thomas & Jane) is as follows.
I am unsure if this correct, but I cannot find any other acceptable alternative.

Name:    Thomas Gunner

Record Type:    Banns (Bann)

Marriage Banns Date:    16 Jan 1820
Marriage Banns Place:    Saint John the Baptist, Eltham, Greenwich, England

Spouse:    Jane Steer

PS
I do not know if the 3 alternatives I stated are the father of Edward (The Thomas stated above), just possible candidates.
The reason I was posting was in the hope that someone may have more info as to which it might be or an alternative.


Many thanks
Paul

Kent / Gunner Thomas and Wife Jane Info on Hever
« on: Sunday 17 November 19 17:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hello.

I am trying to trace the ancestors of an Edward Gunner.
I believe he was born around 1827 In Hever.

Parents of Edward are listed as Thomas and Jane.
I can only find one marriage that might fit but it is quite some way away from where they appear to be based (Hever/Edenbridge) The spouse is Jane Steer and they were married in 1820 an Eltham.

I have 3 candidates for the possible father of Edward as follows.

Thomas Gunner C1798 Chiddingstone
Thomas Gunner C1797 Shipbourne
Thomas Gunner C1796 Edenbridge

They all have their possibilities but wondered if anyone had any firm info on the family in Hever as they had several children there. I don't think they originated there.

Hope someone may be able to shed some light on the above.

Many thanks

Paul

Surrey Lookup Requests / William Gunner Bap 1682 Lingfield
« on: Thursday 10 October 19 19:35 BST (UK)  »
Hello.

I wondered if anyone could shed any light on who William's father was and his descendants.

Father of the William above (bap 1682) was also probably a William (died 1692 Lingfield I believe) and his father may also have been a William.

I think the family were not originally from Lingfield but maybe some where else in Surrey.
If anyone could shed any more light on this it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Paul

Surrey / Gunner Family - Surrey
« on: Tuesday 29 November 11 11:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

Just wondered if anyone had a connection with this family.

William Gunner Bap around 1682 in Lingfield

There appears to be a marriage in Lingfield in 1681, which could have been William Bap 1682's father and Mother.

William Gunner and a Lucy E--DEN in Lingfield on 03 July.

William Jr went on to Kent where I have picked up his family but am unable to confirm that his father was def William in Lingfield (and mother Lucy) and any descendants back further in Surrey.

I went to Woking/ Surrey Centre and couldn't find any trace of the family right back in Lingfield, although I am fairly sure the William mentioned above was his father and there were other siblings also bap in Lingfield.

I did a random search of parishes in Surrey for any other clues but could not turn anything up that was conclusive.

William Sr was probably from one of the many Gunner familes in Surrey but I cannot confirm which one, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks you

Thank you.

May be one for a future connection.

I know from IGI the earliest Gunners in Surrey appear to be recorded in Ash.

Can I ask where that info came from?

Surrey / Gunner Family Surrey
« on: Friday 27 August 10 02:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I have been to Woking Surrey Family Centre recently to try and expand on the family below, without much luck.

Would anyone have done any research on the ancestors of the following.

 I have verified that the entry from IGI is correct and also a marriage to Lucy E_don in 1681 in Lingfield, against the Parish regs.

WILLIAM GUNNER 
 Christening:  20 AUG 1682   Lingfield, Surrey, England
 Father:  WILLIAM GUNNER

I managed to go back in the Lingfield records but nothing for a Gunner listed so obviously the father William came in from elsewhere. I did check Godstone but I could only find records from 1662 so assume the older ones are missing?

The only other candidate which looked likely I came across was a Worpleston William BAP 1662.

Seeing as I was in Woking, the most populous location for the surname Gunner in the UK, I thought I might have more luck!

If anyone can shed any more light on this family it would be much appreciated.
 
Regards

Paul
