David, I had a look on Ancestry. There are two different public trees containing this family. Note that the 1881 census had the name amended from Gurmiss to Gunniss. This was done by one of the tree owners
Betsey Gunniss (Maiden Name Richardson ) 1832-1866 was born in Frampton, Lincs the daughter of John Richardson and Maria Percival
It is possible that Edward was married 3 times!
1st to BETSEY RICHARDSON in 1851 Children: Sarah Jane b 1853 Elizabeth b 1855 William Bradford 1857... married Jane Carter 1885 Mary Ann 1864
2nd to ELIZA GREEN in 1868.... I saw this marriage also and I did wonder?

Hi Anne,
I always knew either my grand father or great grand father was married 3 times I guess it was my great grand father, do you have any info on the 3rd wife?

Hi David, Your Eliza Clarke was his 3rd wife. All I can tell is that after being widowed from Betsey Richardson, he was very briefly married to Eliza Green. Marriage in 2nd qutr of 1868, but her death is recorded about a year later, 2rd qutr of 1869. As she was 45 yrs old at time of death, it is possible that Green was a previous married name?

There are no Gunnis births recoreden in Lincolnshire between 1868 and 1869, suggesting that there were no children born into the marriage. However I did find the birth and death of another Gunniss child from 1873. Harriet Gunniss must be another child born to Edward with Eliza Clarke.
