Name origin

The earliest recorded Gunnee occurence that I have traced is William Gunnee. He and his wife Hahnah had three children born in Cottingham between 1780 and 1784, and subsequent children were baptised in Sculcoates. In 1806 he appears as a 'cordwainer' in Hull in 1806. So far I have been unable to trace William's origins.
