Edward GURNEY and Annie FAREY

[enticce]

Hi can anyone help pleeeaaasssse?? I have an Edward Gurney b c1855 in Hemel Hempstaed i think. He was married to Annie Farey b c1876 again in Hemel we believe. Her surname is a bit of a mystery as our family had it as Silkie for a while. i have traced her name as now correct but would like to find out who her parents were. I just cant find any more details and think i must have her plce of birth wrong? I would be so greatful if anyone has an idea?

Carla,

There is an Edward Gurney shown in census 1861 to 1901 born Bovingdon (very close to Hemel) 1854/5 - but he is married to Sarah.   Do you have any more details ??

Hi
Well that's interesting as his father William was born in Bovingdon. I have to admit i got the information from my sister-in-law. If they had a daughter Ethel b1912 who married a William Williams b1908 then she has made a mistake. Interesting that. Do you know if the dates match up.......

wow i just love this site....why didnt i go on this bit of roots web before? So now all i need to know is Annie Farey's parents...or father.
You have been fantastic both of you so thank you very very much. Btw i think maybe my sister in law gave me the wrong dob as this is too close not to be them.

Hmmm i see what you mean....i came across that problem with another ancestor and cannot find his father any where. I know you can look at 'poor records' and applications to magistrates for aid' in the caes of an illegitimate child but even this didnt happen with my other ancestor. Interesting she was with her aunt and uncle...so where was her mother i wonder...and who was she? I love all the different spellings too just to confuse! I am having to concentrste hard on this. Thanks for looking...just how have you access to this all?
