Hi
Are you sure that the Area of birth is correct, sometimes the mothers were sent away if they were unmarried, and the DOB is correct, Sometimes they lied about their ages so the army records are not always a reliable source for DOBs.

I would spread the search further afield if you havent already

Thanks for all that info the John Hurd for dec 1904 york is no good, I already sent for that and it was wrong. The one from Bramley may be worth pursuing, not sure about the Manchester one.
Thanks to all for help.

Hi
I have only just joined Roots, and have noticed that you have been seeking Hurds of West Yorkshire.
I also have a missing Thomas Hurd, I could not quite follow your posts,
however you said you had an unmarried birth, father Thomas.
Can you tell me any other connections, I would dearly like to find Thomas. :-\

Thanks Denise.

Hi
My Hurds originated in Wakefield West Yks, I am back to 1841, and have lost Thomas Hurd, he would have been too old to have a connection with your person, although one never knows.
Your birth and death didn't seem to match up.
Also my Thomas seems to have disapeared in 1841, possibly not dead, as wife is 'Ind. Means' on census,   not widow.
At the moment I am searching every possible avenue.

Denise.
