ELLEN HURRELL (born CROWE)

BDMS SAY LUCY JANES MOTHER IS ELIZABETH

i Lynne,

Yes Lucy who married Frederick Sanders was descended from John Hurrell and his second wife. I found out a lot of information about this branch of the Hurrells, over twelve months, before I finally found out that they were NOT my Hurrells!!!

John Hurrell was born in 1828 in Cawston Norfolk, to Mark and Elizabeth Hurrell according to his emigration record. He died on 14th Janurary 1908 at Mcleay River, NSW. He also had cousins named John Hurrell. Mark Hurrell (John's father) married twice, Elizabeth was his first wife, and Mary Warner was his second. He was an Agricultural labourer. Living Eastgate, Cawston in 1851 census, aged 53, widower with his son Thomas and Mark's brother John age 60(pensioner - from services - Chelsea hospital)widower and John's children Susanna and Ann M. I don't know how many other children Mark had with either of his wives.

John married firstly to Harriet Tenpenny Abbott, in Holbeach Lincolnshire England, in Mar 1/4 1849, Folio X1V, page 561. Then living at Sutton Crosses, Sutton St Mary, Lincolnshire in 1851. Occupation Farm labourer. Came to Australia on the Beejapore in 1853 with Harriet. Dreadful conditions on this ship with many deaths and illnesses. Harriet died 1853. John could read and write, and paid 2 pound for his and his wife`s passage to Australia. On immigration record at State Records NSW, was living in Long Sutton, Lincolnshire prior to emmigration, and knew no-one in the colony. Mother Elizabeth deceased prior to his departure for Australia. No children of marriage to Harriet.

Hope this gives you a bit to go on with, and is helpful for you. I do have certificates saved on the computer somewhere but I cannot lay my hands on them at present, so when I come across them, will forward them to you, if I remember.

Good luck with your research.

Kind regards,
