Hi paulchapman,
Thanks for your message - I have been looking for some connection with your family, but so far I cannot see it. I have found William Hurst & Catherine Bellamy's marriage on 19th June 1791 at Wigston Magna (parents of Samuel) so I imagine that there would be children born before Samuel in 1801. In total I think Samuel (senior) had about 9 children. On the 1841 census Susannah Hurst aged 15 & Josiah Hurst aged 7 were living with their grandmother Ann Measures (aged 60), whilst Henry, Samuel, Isaac, John, George & Mary were living with their parents. Rebecca was born about 1843. I'll continue to trace this family & hopefully will find a connection somewhere.
