  Histories

  George and Amy GURNSEY – ‘Devoted to each other until the end’ George and Amy - my Great Grandparents - were both born in 1884 into a world that is so different from today that it is difficult for us to imagine. Married in 1909 they lived well into old age, and were devoted to each other until the end.
