In the Dictionary of National Biography, it states that John Hampden Gurney was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. He studied law, but altered his intention and was ordained a minister. He authored many works. [4] He was mentioned as the eldest son of Sir John Gurney [5] and brother of Russell Gurney. His third son and fifth child was Edmund Gurney, who was a philoophical writer. He was born 28 Mar 1847 at Hersham, near Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, and died 23 Jun 1888. He also has a very lengthy biography in the Dictionary of National Biography which states that his mother died when he was age 10, his father at age 15. [6]

John Hampden Gurney was baptized 24 Feb 1826 in ST Giles in the Field, Holborn, Camden, England. His parents are mentioned as John and Maria Gurney. His birthdate in 1802 is also mentioned. [7][8]

John Hampden Gurney married Mary Grey on 24 October 1839 in Saint Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.[10] Mary was the eldest daughter of the Rev. Henry Grey, minister of St Mary's Edinburgh, who had married his first cousin Margaretta, sister of John Grey of Dilston. [4]

Research Notes

There is another birth source for John Hampden Gurney, child of John Gurney & Maria Gurney, born on 15 August 1802 in Cripplegate, London.[20] This location does not match the above location, which is also on Wikipedia. This location does match the birth location on John Hampden Gurney (1802-1862)

  • John, son of John Gurney & Esther, was born on 28 February 1802,[23] and baptized on Jun 1802 in St Marylebone, Westminster, Middlesex, England. [24] This is the spouse of Jane Bonnick.
  • The marriage source included in this profile was for London, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921, which was not found with John Hampden Gurney's marriage, but it was found with John Gurney's marriage to Jane Bonnick in 1827 in St Mary, Ealing, Ealing, England. [25][26]
  • In the 1851 census John (age 48) was in Chiswick, Middlesex, England.[27]

Sorry but the details for wife and children are not correct for John Hampden Gurney

John Hampden married Mary Grey in 1839 daughter of Reverend Henry Grey she was born Scotland, I will put onto Wikitree details and 12 children after more research

Who will amend Wikitree as it stands today Roger

There was a suggestion about duplicate siblings, which I was investigating and found your comment. I have found the 1881 census mentioned in this profile which has John Gurney, not John Hampden Gurney, with Jane. I found several other sources for 'that' John Gurney that married Jane. Those are included in Research Notes of this profile.

I also found many sources that mention John Hampden Gurney who married Mary and those are in the biography of this profile. I also found additional Birth sources (listed in Research Notes) that mention other locations, one of which matches the location that you created on the duplicate profile John Hampden Gurney (1802-1862). This profile is a 'conflation' of the two people because the dates match the sources that I have added to this profile for the person that married Mary Grey, but the spouse and children are for a different John Gurney with similar birthdate, location, same father's name, but different mother's names and death dates. I can work with you to get these profiles pulled apart and fully sourced, as well as connected to the correct spouses and children.

It looks like you have also created a duplicate for sister Harriet, so I have proposed a merge for those profiles.
