hi all can anyone find any info on JAMES gunn married to mary sougar JAMES was born in 1755 in 1676894 suffolk and may have died 1822 in bratham suffolk they had 3 children born in brantham, rachel, james and lucy i have tried to find their PARENTS without any luck as i believe this could be my family tree IS THERE ANY OTHER RECORDS FOR RESEARCH BEYOND 1750 THANKS

thanks christinaS i think you are right as i cannot find any records for them and also sams father i think he was not married either until later i have latched onto a james gunn born in 1826 and married to eliza born in brantham suffolk the link i have he was a carpenter the same as samuel he is on the marriage cert. for harriet and samuel i think i am on the right line

Oh - pity. I don't think the above are connected as there's also a Joseph Gunn Clay b.1864 and an Isaac Gunn Clay b.1869.

Don't know if this will lead to anything, but on the freebmd birth registrations
for Guisborough -

James Gunn Clay reg. jul-sep 1871 and

Samuel Clay reg.ape-jun 1875

I really don't think Samuel and Emma ever got married. By 1891 Emma had left Samuel and was living with George Cook. I don't think she married him either.

Emma was still alive in 1890, so had she been married to Samuel, he wouldn't have been free to marry Harriet.

When Emma left she took only Eleanor with her. I have a feeling she wasn't James or Samuel's mother.

I would have thought that if it was going to be found then the members would have found it by now

Sorry

help me please can anyone find a marriage certificate for samuel born 1845 and emma born 1853 thanks

hi what can i do now i have the birth cert of eleanor gunn with emma gunn formally clark named as the mother and samuel gunn named as the father dated 16 november 1880 reg dist. cuckfield union is there any way i can get a marriage cert for sam and emma? help cheers malcolm

Oh, well done Maureen!

Do you think it looks as if Emma wasn't the mother of Samuel and James?
Emma has no trouble in remembering her age and place of birth, nor the age and place of birth of her daughter.

On the other hand, Samuel, James and their father Samuel are all over the place. I think Emma would have been more consistant.

Well,I think I've found Emma and Eleanor in 1891:

Oh darn. What a shame that Emma's name is so common.

I do wonder if the boys (James and Samuel) were registered under Clark?

hi all received the birth certificate of eleanor gunn, samuel and emmas daughter emmas maiden name was emma clark i am looking for a marriage certificate posibly married around 1870 to 1872 emma was born in coleshill warwickshire in 1853 and samuel in guisborough/middlebrough in 1845.
they also had two sons samuel born 1875 and [ james 1873 my g.g.grandfather ] who died at sea in 1898. on eleanors birth cert it says, mothers name emma gunn formelly clark and on samuels 2nd marriage cert in 1890 it reads 1st wife deceased so i presume emma and samuel were married

thanks for that, the birth certificate is due any day now the above is a wild hunch i have between 1861 and him getting married he could have had a son [samuel]
