Hi
I have an ancestor called Hannah Gunning and I want to find out who her parents were. I believe she was from Cold Ashton and was born about 1803.

Hi,
This is the only baptism I can find for a Hannah Gunning in Cold Ashton near to the year you gave:-
Hannah Gunning - 2nd April 1799 at Cold Ashton
Daughter of Thomas & Mary
No other details, sorry :(

Thanks for that. I got 1803 from census information but I know how unreliable they can be. Her dob could be as late as 1806 but I will look into this one. I don't really know that area and I have found some references recently to Bitton?
The Gunnings look as if they were a large family in that district.

You`re most welcome :)
There is this baptism for a Hannah at Bitton:-
Hannah Gunning - 19th August 1798 at Bitton
Daughter of Thomas & Sarah

Hi
I've found references to the Hannah b 1798 Bitton and have more or less ruled her out but so far no info on a Thomas and Mary at Cold Ashton.
Does anyone have info on this couple like their marriage or any other siblings of Hannah.

Hi
I've found a few more leads on the census.
Please could someone look up the christening of a Cornelius Gunning about 1785 Cold Ashton. He appears to have married a Martha Baker in abt 1806 and had several children. He was living in Swainswick, with several other Gunning households, possibly sons - Charles b abt 1806, Thomas abt 1813, John abt 1810 and Elias abt 1817.
The other person I am interested in is William b 1796 to 1801 with a mother Jane b about 1762 again in Swainswick i think in 1841
