I believe that the 3 differant Gurr that I have above all link up somehow, John and Ann Gurr would be the same generation and Henry Gurr I suspect to be a nephew to them both. On Henry's marriage papers it states that his father was Henry Gurr (Schoolmaster) and mother as being Sarah
On his immergration papers it says that his father Henry Gurr (Shop Keeper) and mothers as being Sarah
I would dearly love to link up these families as I am sure they do. Any help at all would be much welcomed.
Thank you all in advance
