Seeking any information on the above couple married in Wiltshire, and their children, born in Wiltshire including Elizabeth Ann GUNSTONE (b 1853), Matilda GUNSTONE, Charlotte GUNSTONE, Polly GUNSTONE, Harry GUNSTONE, Lewis GUNSTONE, Edie GUNSTONE & George GUNSTONE.  I believe there are an additional 5 GUNSTONE children (names unknown).
Many thanks for any assistance you may be able to offer.

Thank you Joe.  Very interesting about the different spellings!  Charlotte may well have married in Glamorgan, as her sister, Elizabeth Ann (b.1853) married a Welshman in Wales in the December quarter of 1885.

Ah, now I see why you have so many little stars by your names!

Can you please tell me the complete titles of the sources from which you've gathered this plethora of information?

Yours most gratefully
Kath (the Pioneer)
