 Perhaps arising out of the Boyton farming connection he took a second wife, being married at St. Giles in the Field to Jane Betty, the 24-year-old daughter of a farmer from Sheepwash, Devon; Gurney was 61.The marriage appears to have been unsuccessful; there was perhaps some contention between Anna Jane (39) and her much younger stepmother.Jane Betty was removed from Gurney's will, although they were never divorced.
