Thanks a million Penny! Many of those names are repeated in my family int he next generation so I think we may be onto something. Thanks again for your time, Jane

Desperately looking for Richard Hurrell b 1825-1829 in Stapleford Abbotts, Essex. Think father may be Samuel. Should be so grateful if you could look for Samuel's marriage probably round 1812-1820 in Essex. Many thanks

Thanks for looking Penelope, much appreciated
