I also have GURNEY in Hemel Hempstead area starting with John GURNEY born c1780 who married Elizabeth TOMLIN 8 Oct 1803 at Hemel Hempstead.

I'm also finding them difficult to untangle, I think their children were:
Mary Ann 1805
Elizabeth 1808
Ann 1810
Jane 1812
William 1815
Fanny 1818
John 1821 (the line I'm researching)
Maria 1823

If this looks at all familiar please let me know

Hiya
Yes they are indeed a complicated family, belonging to my husband lol. I dont think i have any with those dates that match although the names of some run in my  husbands tree. The first time any Gurney appears in Herts is when an Edmond Gurney b1795 in Buckinghamshire and his wife Sarah Holliman b1798 in Bovingdon, Herts (which is close to Hemel) have their 10 children, all born in Bovingdon. Does any of that ring a bell at all. Sorry to be vague lol.

Hi Carla,

Can't add to that at the moment, Elizabeth TOMLIN was born 1784 Hemel Hempstead, but I don't know where John was born although the 1841 census does show him as born in Hertfordshire and aged 55 (so between 55 and 59 I assume!).

I'll bear your information in mind, and let you know if I find anything in my research.

Hi,

I'm just staring out on my family tree.  My paternal grandfather was Frank Charles Gurney born St Albans 1908.  Father Charles Gurney.   Frank married Audrey May (Perfitt or Martin-Lewis) 1953.  This is all the info I have so far (apart from Frank dying in 1982 in Turville, Bucks).

If anyone has any link here I would be very interested.

thanks
Selena Gurney
