Hi Carolyn in reply to your post Eliza Perks and Joseph Gwinnett were my great-great Grandparents their son Edward Jens Gwinnett being my Great Grandfather his daughter Gertrude Gwinnett was my Grandmother. I have tried to find more information regarding Rosetta Jens being Edward’s Grandmother and your information stating that she was born in West Africa.

Also to the above post regarding Vivian Gwinnett he was my father’s cousin he was a hairdresser in Cardiff.
My Grandfather Edward was also a hairdresser I believe they had a business in Cardiff in the 20′s/30′s.

I have an Eliza Perkes born 1809 in Dudley Worcestershire, baptized 10 Mar 1809 Wombourne Staffordshire who married a Joseph Guinnutt either 2 or 28 Dec 1828, Wombourne Staffordshire. Several children including a Rosetta born Dec 1832. Would be interested to know more about this Joseph Guinnutt and his parents which some claim to be Joseph Guinnutt and Rosetta Jens, born in West Africa.

Thanks for the informative post about sexton books. I have been looking for the birth date of one ancestor for a long time as his age isn’t noted in the burial register. I will look to see if there are sexton books in Northamptonshire Record Office for the village my ancestor came from.

Hi Charlotte
The records are held at Gloucestershire Archives. They DO have a plan of the graveyard – I have seen it there several times – but it is in an uncatalogued box of records. However, the plan does not exactly relate to the graves that are there now – some graves have been re-used over the years. Email me on ejack@gloster.demon.co.uk with details of who you are seeking and I will see if I can help.
Liz

I can probably help most of the posts above having studied the Gwinnett/Gwinnutt family for more than 20 years and have recently completed a ‘book’ on the family, unpublished and just for close family and some fellow researchers. However I am happy to help anyone particularly over how the Gloucestershire family came to go to the Black Country which has been a problem for many.

Hi, I’ve just found your site- very informative! My grandad’s grandmother was Emma Rose nee Gwinnett(born Tipton c1827). We always wondered if there was a connection with Button Gwinnett and even though I researched back to George Gwinnett and Sarah Causon in Gloucestershire I couldn’t go back further and connect up. Anyway now my Aunt’s cousin has done that and I’m proud to say that Button is my 3rd cousin 7x removed and George Gwynedd is my 11thx great granfather!
