Doug, my notes say IGI also parish register, father William Gulwell. The link to Luckington is based on the fact that the Gulwell name is particular in it's origins to that area, Luckington abutting Hawkesbury parish and Easton Grey (Grey Easton) a couple of miles further away. There is as yet no proof positive that the two Williams are the same but by the occurance of this surname, by elimination, by lack of other living Williams and by proximity I would say the probability of the link being correct must be very high. Genealogy being an ongoing and iterative process there is always room for change when facts indicate a change is necessary, so I would always be very pleased to hear if anyone has data to improve the validity on any entry of mine. I especially welcome information on Gulwell as this name is part of my One-Name Study.

Do you have any evidence on which you base this identification or is it just a guess? I copied this to the Hawkesbury list as there may be others who could comment.

Thanks Brian I'll go along with that for the time being and call it a good working hypothesis!
