Hi Kiltaglassan, thanks for confirming George's birth details, i only found this info on Monday.

A story from one of my aunts was that Anne Moore was involved with a George Hurst who was above her station, he was a Protestant and she a Catholic so the affair ended when she became pregnant.

Hi Braco, its been a long time since we last spoke and i hope you are keeping well.
I have went back looking at my family tree and have found William Bolton Hurst born 1921 in Anderston, Glasgow. I found out he emigrated to Australia just after the the end of WW2, April 1946.
He died 5th July 1987 in Rugby, NSW. During the war he was in the Royal Navy.
Looks like he was possibly your uncle.
Do you have any info on him and also your father and family for my tree?
Hopefully hear from you soon

Hello Gordon,
Sorry for taking so long to reply but I have been busy with Christmas, New Year, birthdays etc.
Even being semi retired I still find it hard to get enough time to research my family tree.
Since our last posts I have traced George's wife Charlotte Carlisle's parents back to Ireland using the 1901 & 1911 Irish Census
Edward Carlisle (1837) and Bridget Carroll (1834) wed approx 1859
1901 resided at House 9, Dearpark, Lismalore, Fermanagh
Edward was a Stonemason and could  read and write, Bridget could only read.
They had a daughter Staying with them; Sarah aged 40 who was a widow and her married name was Early, she had her son John with her, he was aged 12 and was born in CO Tyrone.
Edward and Bridget had 8 children and by the 1911 census only 3 were still living.
In 1911 Edward and Bridget had moved to House 1, Taltenamona, Greenhill, Fermanagh.
Sarah and her son were not there.

I have looked at trying to trace George but their are an awful lot of George Hurst's in Fermanagh, one family are proud to have at least one in every generation!!!!
 

Hello Braco, this is the first positive link about my Irish ancestors on my mothers side, it is great that you came across this post by accident as it would appear that we may related.
The Pearson's that you mentioned are my mothers family, she was Wilhelmina but sadly passed away 38 years ago when I was 18yrs old, their was quite a few of them, eleven in total with only three still living.
The youngest (Alexander) recently told me that his sisters Francis and Jean went over to Ireland when they were small and lived with some relatives during the school summer holidays in a converted pigsty, they used to make bed covers and sell them at a local market.
George Hurst married Charlotte Carlisle in Glasgow on 8th Oct 1892 and in the 1901 census had three children, William, Charlotte and Sarah.
William was mentioned as a witness to his mothers death in 1954, he resided at 42 North Street, Leslie in Fife.
At the time of her death in 54 Charlotte lived at Blackhill Cottages, Braco.
George Hurst's Parents were George and Ann Moore
Hopefully we can talk more about our ancestors
 

I have managed to find my Great Grandfather. He emigrated to Canada on 9th June 1911 sailing from Glasgow to Quebec aboard the Hesperian. He sailed under his middle name Edwin 15 months after his wife died.
Now I need help in finding out how he returned to Scotland in the 1970s.
Can anyone help.

Charlie.
