EDWARD HURRELL BDM RECORDS (Sep 09 Red)
My GG Grandfather was Edward Hurrell and he was born abt 1836. He came to Adelaide, South Australia as a Labourer before 1862 when he married my GG Grandmother, Mary Sandwell. I have not been able to find his name on any shipping records. The only connection I have of him to England is his father's name which was on their Marriage Certificate, and that was Charles Hurrell. Edwards age on the Marriage Certificate was given as 26. I have searched everywhere for an Edward Hurrell and only found two with possible birth dates around 1836 but I am leaning towards an Edward Hurrell who appeared in the Tendring Union Workhouse in 1841 with possibly his brother Philip(aged 7 & 8). An Edward Hurrell also appears on the 1851 Census as a lodger aged 15, so possibly the same one. He does not appear on the 1861 Census, so this could explain that he was on his way to Australia, or already here. Would appreciate any help in finding my family roots. Regards, Carmel
