Hello to Marilyn and Mavis, Thank you both for replying to my message about my wife's GUNNING ancestors. I am afraid that we know very, very little about this line. We have only just started to research it. I do know that William Gunning was a Groom in the 1851 census living on Tormarton Road, Marshfield where his father was a Gamekeeper. I don't know about the Beauforts, could they have possibly been the employer for both of them in Marshfield and in Hawkesbury. We are also pretty ignorant about the Watts. We do know that they ended up farming in Hasfield but where exactly they came from we have yet to discover. - Ed Edward Coates Sinker Church Lea Bosbury, Herefordshire HR8 1PX UK
