ELIZABETH GUNNING (1769-1823)
CURRENT TEXT "her marriage in 1803 to Major J. Plunkett from Kinnaird in co. Roscommon, with whom she had several children."
SUGGESTED CHANGE <her marriage on 5th November 1803 at St George Hanover Square to Major James Plunkett from Kinnaird in co. Roscommon, who had been arrested in London in 1798 for his part in the rebellion at Connaught. They had several children.>
NOTES See Godwin Diary dataset under Plunket

mrs Gurney 1.1.1800 at O Fancourt's

Perhaps the wife of John Gurney DNB 1768-1845 who was Maria daughter of William Hawes DNB 1736-1808. They were married at St Botolph without Bishopsgate on 11.12.1797, her first child was born 27.4.1799 and her second 16.8.1800. Most of the other Gurney wives would more likely have been in Norfolk. It could have been her mother-in-law Rebecca (nee Brodie) 1747-1814, but given the context of mrs Fancourt's the younger wife seems more likely. See Hawes for the visit of the miss Hawes' to Thelwall's in 1795, which suggests an adventurous spirit

HCR diary 10.11.1817 "I stayed with Aders till late and gave him directions to buy a number of engravings for Mr Gurney"

Probably?  Hudson Gurney (DNB 1775-1864)
