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)
There is another birth source for John Hampden Gurney, child of John Gurney & Maria Gurney, born on 15 August 1802 in Southwark, London.[21]
This profile was created with a spouse of Jane Bonnick (abt.1808-1881) and 7 children linked to her as mother. She was incorrectly linked as spouse of John Hampden Gurney
There was an 1881 Census included, but John Hampden Gurney, this profile person, died prior to that census. That census has John Gurney, not John Hampden Gurney. (see 1881 census family list in Sources)
In the 1881 census John was living in Chiswick, Middlesex, England. [22]
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]

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.
