Dear Keith and Sue,
I have just checked the NSW BDM records (even with the * wildcard option) and this is the only birth listed for a Benjamin and Elizabeth (H)urch.  http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search?event=births
Registration Number V1800945 1A/
Date 1800     
Name HURCH      ELIZABETH     
Father BENJAMIN     
Mother  ELIZABETH

Cheers
Susie

Dear Keith and Sue,
Just checked the marriages at the NSW BDMs and there are two marriage for a Benjamin Urch listed for the same year and woman (different churches)  http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search?event=marriages

V184372 27C/1843      URCH      BENJAMIN      JOHNSTON      MARY J
V184372 77/1843      URCH      BENJAMIN      JOHNSTON      MARY J

and there are no female Urch marriages until 1875 which would suggest that they are this couples kids.

Cheers
Susie

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue
shows Benjamin Urch b. at sea served in the 102nd and 43rd regiments, served 1802-1833 discharged aged 41.

I think it's quite likely that his father was also military. There's a possible marriage in England - Benjamin Urch and Elizabeth Pike, 12 May 1788 in Bristol.

Hi Keith and Sue,
I am new to RootsChat and apologize if I am posting to a stale topic. I am fairly certain that i am descended from Jane URCH, daughter of Benjamin URCH and Elizabeth PIKE. I have a number of sources related to them and Jane's line of the family if you are interested.  I would also like to help prove my link via DNA and am curious whether you know of any other descendants of Ben and Elizabeth who subscribe to Ancestry DNA or GEDMATCH.
