Gunn / Killick family in Brighton
« on: Wednesday 24 July 24 15:21 BST (UK) »
Martha Gunn {nee Killick) is the famous dipper from Brighton. She was born in 1726 and died in 1815. A great age at that time . 2026 is the 300 year anniversary of her birth . We have set up a group to celebrate Martha and her band of bathers . Anyone related to this family want to join in ? We know she has descendants ll over the world ! We are hoping to raise money for a memorial and a celebration!

She was born in 1726

Is this her?

If that is the correct Martha
Friend and Anne (Bridger) married in Brighton in 1716
Killick baptisms with father Friend following, including
John in August 1725
Robert in April 1727
Mary in June 1729 (Friend & Anne)

Which may throw further doubt on Martha being born in 1726
