Find Ancestors

i am hoping emma`s maiden name will give me the info i need then i can get the marriage cert. and hopefully that should give samuels father as james gunn to match samuels other marriage cert.

Somehow I don't think that's the right fellow (no son Samuel on the 1851 either). :-( :-(

I have a funny feeling that a name change of some sort has taken place with Samuel along the way. Hopefully we may get some clues from Eleanor's birth cert when you receive that.

hi all could this be my g.g.g.g grandfather james gunn born in 1819 bradmore notts a carpenter by trade lived in leicestershire in 1881 and 1891 census the only problem is there is no samuel gunn on the 1861 census i got the james gunn name from the marriage cert. of 1890 stating the name james gunn father of samuel gunn both carpenters

brillient maureen you are right samuel married in 1890 to harriet trice his previous wife emma died, samuels father named as james gunn also was a carpenter, all i need now is to find his details out ie where born where and when he died and his spouse with marriage date thanks again

Don't take my advice Malcolm, MaurreninNY, above, has found the marriage certificate online.

thanks for that christinaS

I've found the marriage on the CityArk site-but I'll be darned if I can find him on any census (Father is listed as James Gunn-carpenter).

If you get the marriage certificate for Samuel Gunn and Harriet Huneybell - 1890 - Apr-Jun- Gravesend - Vol. 2a - Page 841 this should give you the name of Samuel's father.

thanks rose

You need to get that birth cert. to get Emma's name:

thanks glitterbaby a good bit of info, i would love to get samuel and emma`s marriage where and when the only posible date they could have married would be 1870 as emma would be about 17 and james was born in 1871 as normally children are born about a year after the marriage date and thanks again for that info

Think the marriage references have got mixed up

Name correction for Edith to read Edith Hunneybell

Can only repeat the advice already given
Buy your grandparent's birth certificate to check Mother's name.

What surname for Edith and Alfred ?

can anyone shed a light on my last post ?

Which one of their children is your grandmother/grandfather? You need to buy that birth cert and Emma's maiden name will be listed.
