Our pleasure Lynn, good luck with your research.

Just to say thank you to every one who helped with this information, sorry its taken a little while to get back to you all, but it has tasken me a couple of weeks to sort through it all. Once again thank you what a fantastic group of people you are.

Lynn

thank you very much for all this information, this is amazing and it will take me some time to sort through it. i think the last bit of information could well be a second marriage for George and could account for so many Hurfords in the world. once again thank you for all your help. Lynn

I wonder if this is Thomas's father George re-married in 1881?
