I've been going round in circles trying to pin down the members of my 4x gt g'pa's family. It's been made really confusing by the existence of a family with similar names and ages. Today I realised that the only thing to do was to find his dopple ganger in the censuses and prove to myself that I'm not going mad and that there really are two very similar families. I found:
My Thomas Hurst was born in 1783; the other was born in 1784.
They both had wives called Jane
They both had a daughter called Maria born in 1817
They both had a daughter called Mary born in 1821
They both had a daughter called Ann born in 1824
They both had a daughter called Louisa; one Louisa was born in 1832, the other in 1833.
Is it any wonder I got confused?
