John GURNEY, Upton Bishop 1797 - associated thread (General)

Hello Slowhands,

Thanks for reposting that information, which I have combed through again, but still come to a dead end.

I am very new to this business of tracing ancestors and perhaps I am missing vital points during my search, e.g. should I just assume a person 'fits' even if the date is not quite right, which brings me back to my question regarding the reliability of dates on the census forms.

I find I am still stumped at John Gurney of 1797, or perhaps 1799. Oh well, it was nice to have got back that far and into the fresh air of the Forest of Dean, away from Shoreditch, St. Pancras, and similar areas of London to which the family gravitated from about 1850.

Many thanks for your help, which has been much appreciated.

Regards,

John Gurney
