About Henry Gurney

Henry Gurnay lived at Great Ellingham, Attleborough, Norfolk, England.

He lived at West Barsham, Fakenham, Norfolk, England.



Wrote his own epitaph-

So here doth rest the corpse of clay
Of Henry Gournay squire,
Until at joyful judgement day
To soul he shall retire;
And then through God's free special grace,
By Christ shall both ascend,
Unto the most delightsome place,
And joys it never end,
By Blennerhasset so his wife,
He 13 children gat,
Seven sons and daughters five in life,
At once upon him sat.
