Title: Frances Gurney - b.1797 (prob.) St James's, Westminster
Post by: adam_in_SW_Middx on Tuesday 28 April 20 16:53 BST (UK)

Does anybody please share a birth record with my ancestors in Westminster.  I am looking for date of baptism and parentage of a FRANCES GURNEY or GUNNING born about 1797. She married an Edward Goldsmith there on 16 January 1825. 

• _{her first child: Frances was baptised 1822 in St Margaret, Westminster.}
• _{Later children: Anne, Jane Sarah and Edward born in Staines.}

All censuses prove shed lived much longer than her two husbands as died as Mrs. Frances Minton in 1875, buried in Staines (as married in Hanwell in 1836, as widowed with very young children).  Anglican as far as all baptisms, weddings and burials show.

Thanks

Edward Goldsmith died aged 47 in 1834 so b around 1787

James Minton died 1856 aged 62

Where is Frances Minton in 1841/51/71

In 1861 she is transcribed as Francis (male spelling) b 1798 Westminster.  If you have her on those other censuses is her birthplace Westminster on each one?

_{Spouse details correct, yes.  She lived in Staines at each cen., and stated Westminster (as d.o.b.) each time.}
