Monmouthshire / The Gunter family of Machen / Bassaleg
« on: Tuesday 10 February 15 14:22 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,
Can anyone help me to fill in some gaps?
I have so far traced & proven my direct paternal 'Gunter' line, back to 1780. My father Douglas James Gunter, was born in Risca, Monmouthshire, and his father's go back through Cyril, b.1907, John Arthur, b.1881, Jacob, b.1850, John, b.1817 & John b.circa 1870, all of Machen / Bassaleg in Monmouthshire.
I have also found a Lewis Gunter who died in Bassaleg in 1743, but I haven't found definitive proof of their link as yet. Then there is an Ann Gunter, burial 1684 ~ Mar 2 in Machen.
Also there is a reference to a Thomas Gunter of Machen;in the national Library of Wales Archives;
Thomas Gunter, 1644 Machen. Son Morgan Thomas (Morgan ap Thomas), grandchildren Thomas Morgan, David Morgan, Margaret, Blanch & Joan Morgan children of son Morgan. Daug. Margaret married to Morgan
What I would really like to do is find out if these connect, & if we then connect back to the Abergavenny / Breconshire line to Gunterstone / Tre-Gunter... Its a tantalisingly short distance up the Usk from Newport.....
Can anyone help?
Many thanks in anticipation,
Ian Gunter.
