Christine, I see you are researching the name Gurney. This is a real long shot (and I mean long), but I have come to a bit of a brick wall. I have a Joseph Parrick who married a Mary Jane Gurney. They had 3 children (that we know of at the moment) Alfred Parrick (my line), Frederick William Parrick & Madeline Mary. Let me know if it was a long shot Katrina ----- Original Message ----- From: Christine <cb55@optushome.com.au> To: <WLS-SWANSEA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 3:23 PM Subject: Re: [Swansea] Re: Fisher > Hi Ron, > > Thanks Ron, when I get chance I'll see if any of them connect. > I'm researching Burrett (Battersea), Gurney (Willesden), Nesbitt (Newry, > County Down), Davenport (nee Adams, (Aston-under-Lyne, Lancaster), McClure > (married my Nesbitt), Heywood (married my Burrett), Perry (married my > Gurney), Grell, Barrass, & Bowers.
