Do you think we could swop a copy of Charles Death cert for the marriage cert that I have.
I can't use the fax until next week.
Anyway before this post disappears again.
Talk to you later

Tks for your email. I'll be glad to send you the death cert, but it is not so clear. Can't do it tonight as am on my way out, but will get to do it tomorrow all being well. By the way, do you know of any connection with India - Julia Ann and my gt grandfather Thomas Brown received money and jewellery from a relative or someone close who went over to India to live. They lived in Mysore and I don't know who they were. My gt grandparents grocery bills were all paid by money etc that came over from India. We had pictures in the family of the chaps wife, decorated for marriage, but they have all been lost - I never saw them, but my mother did. It would be good if I could get to the bottom of this mystery after all these years. Do you know anything at all???

Just another little note - I have Julia and Charles' marriage certificate thank you.

Hi again
If the India connection was a Hurd, I think we should be looking at Alfreds life.
I will send for the birth cert from Wakefield, to confirm parents, I have March 1853. Can't see a death so lets hope he survived and went to India.
Surely it would have to be a son, to send money to the family.
I found some exellent sites on the web, one of them gave names of those who travelled to India, and the ships they travelled on.
F.I.B.I.S. families in British India society.
 I did not give this much of my time, as I thought we need to find the basics first.
Actually, Alfred would have been Julia Annes brother.
I suppose you know about Julia Annes children, so it wouldn't be one of them.

Also where did you find William, Thomas, and Elizabeth children of Thomas and Harriet ? I can't see them on I.G.I.
Talk to you later.

Hi Deno
Right, will try to answer your questions quickly as am due for Italian class shortly.
I think I must have got details of hurds from IGI. This is what I have.

Not in order. sorry
Edward Hurd ch 1st June 1829 Sandal Magna Thos & Harriot (sic)
Henry Hurd ch 11 Feb 1828 S.M Thos & H
Elizabeth Hurd ch 11 Feb 1828 same details
William Hurd ch. 18 Feb 1816 same
Thomas Hurd cch 12 Feb 1817 same
Frederick Hurd ch 8 Dec 1833 same
Julia Hurd ch 11 Feb 1828 same
James Hurd ch 11 Feb 1828 same
Charles Hurd ch 31 Jan 1831 same
Could have been some twins in there, but sometimes christenings were 'saved' and a couple or so children done at the same time to save money.

As for the Indian connection - over the years I've tried hard to find it. I can remember my Uncle Charlie (mums brother) said that the connection was nothing to do with the family - of course he could have been wrong. The only thing I could think of was that maybe it came from the Lamb family - Julia's mother married into that family - I think I mentioned. So possibly one of them joined the Army and went out to India. Don't know. Still searching.
Must go now. will write tomorrow and try to fathom out how to get the Death Cert to you thru this site.
Ciao

Buonasera

Just a thought,  before I go to work. I don't need the actual cert. I will do a makeshift one with information you gave me thanks. Was Sarah the informant? on the certificate.
Catch you later
Bye

Hello again.

Death Certificate of Charles Hurd.

1856 Deaths in the district of Wakefield in the county of York.

428 Twelfth April 1856 New Street.      Charles Hurd.  Male  25 years  Taylor (sic) Journeyman.   Arteriois pulmonalis
2 years certified.   x the mark of Ann Horn present at the death. New Street Wakefield. Fourteenth April 1856.
Edward Brooke Registrar.

That's all that's on the cert.

It's interesting that Charles could at least write his name in what looks like a good hand, so I think was educated, but Sarah could not.
Another mystery for you:

I have Julia Ann's birth certificate which reads...
Twenty First January 1855 New Street.  Julia Ann  Girl.  dau of Charles Hurd. (name surname and maiden name of mother) Sarah HURD formerly HORNER.  Occ of father Tailor (Journeyman).  x the mark of Sarah Hurd mother of New Street, Wakefield. Sixth Feb 1855. Edward Brook Registrar

I thought I'd seen horner somewhere - mystery isn't it. It really should be Halley.

Bye for now
