  • Notes 
    • Some difficulty in establishing exactly who this person is.

      • House of Gournay1 states that Richard Gourney married Jane Johnson, daughter of Richard Johnson of Hempstead in Essex. This same person is said to have died in 1612 and buried in St Bryde's Church2. No marriage date is given.
      • FAG3 has a burial entry for Jane Gurney in 1812, buried at St Bride Churchyard. But there's no photo or other information to corroborate this.
      • There is a marriage record for Richard Gurney and Agnes Johnson on 30 Jan 1563 at St Lawrence Pountney in London: some people on Ancestry have changed this to Anne Johnson for some reason. I can't find any other marriage records for a Richard Gurney or similar in this time period.
