I see we have some serious English History buffs. My grandfather related a story passed down from generation to generation that one of my ancestors - Thomas Gurney or de Gournai had a hand in the death of one of the King Edward's - I think the 6th. The stroy goes he was in the employ of one of the royal family. Would that sound plausable or was my grandfather spinning a yarn?

There is also the family story far more recent of a London based forger named Bill Gurney who was executed I believe about 1800. That relationship seemed more tenuous since he was always called a cousin or an uncle of some sort.

Any thoughts?
