The father of William Gunning who married Betty Hulbert, according to John Goulstone, is George Gunning born
1699 and buried at Bitton in 1772? He doesn't have the name of George's wife. The parents of George 1699-1772 were George Gunning born circa 1655-57; buried probably Bitton 1740; and Joan buried Bitton 1723.
The parents of George Gunning c.1655/7-1740 were Thomas Gunning 1610-1685, yeoman of Cold Ashton, church warden 1682 and Joyce OSBORNE 1618-1679 dau of William Osborne who married Silvester [must be a female] WILLIS at Cold Ashton 1613.
The father of Thomas Gunning 1610-1685 was Timothy Gunning; husbandman of Cold Ashton; church warden of
Cold Ashton 1625. The name of his wife is not mentioned.
The parents of Timothy Gunning were Thomas Gunning, husbandman of Torneys Court when he made his will 15
Sep 1603 proved same year; buried in Cold Ashton Church; married by 1573 Alice BRYAN [spelled BRYANT elsewhere in book] dau of John (d.1559) and Joan (d.1573) of Lippiatt in Bitton.
The parents of Thomas Gunning were John Gunning, husband of Dionisia, who made his will (proved PCC 1570)
27 Feb 1569-70 as John GONNYNGE of Torneys Court, a farmhouse to the south of the parish, close to the Goucester- shire/Somerset border; buried in Cold Ashton churchyard.
That is about as far back as it goes. The Osbornes married again into the Gunnings further back so it gets a bit complicated.
Luther Martin Gunning
Occ: Coal Miner , then farmer (Luther owned/ran a farm in Mold )
Luther was a very unusual name at the time.
Mold Anglican Church Baptism Register: October 08, 1865, Luther, son of George and Esther Gunning (2 n's) Bromefield Cottage, Mold, Flintshire, Wales.
*** The census check for 1881, there was only one Luther Gunning listed in the whole of the British Isles.
He is thought to have moved into the family home to take on the bills etc. after the unfortunate death of Mr. Jones in a roofing accident. The only things I know so far are that Mrs. Jones was only known as Nain Pentre, they were thought to have lived at 23, The Wylfa, Ruthin but I now feel this may have been in Mold actually on the way out to Buckley. Mary Frances Jones b 1904...with 2 sisters Margaret/Maggie and Winifred, and a brother John Huw . The story goes that Luther would not take on the children as well, so they had to go to a home/workhouse?? All we can say about Luther was that we have been told he was Irish and apparently a bit of a tyrant!! Speculation leads one to all sorts of conclusions that could be drawn from this, remembering that he would not take on the children which meant they were all split up at a young age ,then they were sent to St. Asaph workhouse. He was a Tyrant with a temper.
It is listed on his daughter, Catherine Gunning's birth certificate,(1889) that he was a Coal miner. Then on her marriage certificate, (1910) that he was a Farmer, and he was deceased. He would have been 18 in 1883 when he married Catherine Louisa Davies.
The 1881 census aged 15 living with parents and a miner, copy of marriage certificate he calls himself Luther Martin Gunning on that and a copy of the 1901 census showing daughter Catherine being born in Scotland. Luther married 3 times. His first wife Catherine Davies died and his second wife was called Margaret I have not found that marriage yet or Luther's burial. He worked all his life as a miner, moving from Mold to Leeswood 1912 and then to Nerquis 1935 and on to Argoed 1938. Age 73. But on Catherine and Charles Neesom's wedding certificate, (1910) it lists Luther as diseased.
