Hi Katrina,
I'm afraid it probably is a long shot. My GURNEY is my gr/gmother Isabel
GURNEY b 13 Feb 1890 Willesden, She married Alfred BURRETT b 5 Nov 1888
Battersea.
Her parents were Thomas George GURNEY & Francis PERRY. Her siblings were -
Ellen, William, Kitty (probably a pet name) & Tom.
I did however get this sent to me from the list.
Dwelling: Middle Field Farm.

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
