Has anyone ever come across a lady called Katharine GUY, apparently from a landowning family in Boldon, who would have been born in about 1715?
Sorry I don't have a Katherine, but I am also interested in the GUY family, but have done little research on the family to date.. I have two instances of GUY family members marrying PUNSHON family members.I don't even know if these two are connected. The name GUY is found in the early records from Houghton le Spring. Jane GUY and George PUNSHON of Chester le Street were married at St Giles Church in Durham City on 22 Feb 1705/6 I suspect she is the daughter of John GUY - baptised at Houghton le Spring 27 Mar 1683 In the records for Houghton le Spring there are families of Thomas, Robert, John and Henry in the late 1600s. also Henry GUY and Jane PUNSHON married in Newcastle, St John on 17 Nov 1722 This is possibly Henry, son of Henry baptised at HLS 29 Apr 1688 Jane belonged to the "rich" branch of the PUNSHON family who came from Killingworth. Note Houghton le Spring baptism records only begin in 1581 and there are several GUY families in the first twenty years of records - children of Henry, Robert, George and William The marriage records are a little earlier , but the first marriage I found there is William GUY to Dorothy SPENCE in 1589 Has any one else done research into this family?
