Robert Gurney
Robert Gurney (31 July 1879 – 5 March 1950) was a British zoologist from the Gurney family, most famous for his monographs on ''British Freshwater Copepoda'' (1931–1933) and the ''Larvae of Decapod Crustacea'' (1942). He was not affiliated with any institution, but worked at home, initially in Norfolk, and later near Oxford. He travelled to North Africa and Bermuda, and received material from other foreign expeditions, including the ''Terra Nova'' Expedition (1910–1913) and the ''Discovery Investigations'' of the 1920s and 1930s.
==Biography==
Robert Gurney was born in 1879 as the fourth son of John Gurney (1845–1887) and Isabel Charlotte Gurney (later Baroness Talbot de Malahide) of Sprowston Hall, Norfolk. He went to school at Eton College, and went on to study at New College, Oxford, graduating with first class honours in 1902. He was never associated with any institution, but worked from his home, initially near Stalham, Norfolk, but from 1928 at Boars Hill, outside Oxford.〔 He became a lifelong friend of Walter Garstang after the two men met while Garstang was running Easter Classes at Plymouth, which Gurney was attending as an undergraduate. Gurney went on to marry Garstang's sister, Gamzu (1878-1972). Later, Garstang's daughter married Alister Hardy, strengthening Gurney's connections with zoology.〔
Robert and Gamzu had one child, Oliver Gurney (1911-2001), who became a leading Assyriologist and Hittitologist.〔(Dictionary of National Biography: Gurney, Oliver Robert )〕
