I am trying to find any information about my great great grandfather. He was a costermonger and lived in Bethnal Green, London. His wife was called Eleanor or Ellen Harper. They had at least two sons. One was William John Hurst and was born on 21 Aug 1857 in Bethnal Green. He married Eliza or Elizabeth Bland and both were fish curers (smokers). The other son was Thomas Hurst, born on 10 Oct 1859 in Bethnal Green. I believe that he migrated to Pittsburgh, USA.

What info do you actually hope for?

It is better to be specific, so that we don't look for that which is not required

Do you have this? Although it seems early to have had children born 1857 and 59.

Tree on ancestry says William John Hurst's parents were William and Elizabeth but no mention of Thomas

Just looked again looks like the parents are just a guess so would ignore that one

Hello Jeffrey and welcome to the boards.


It's always worth putting the names you are researching into the Search Trees box (above in dark green bar), to see if anyone else on this site is researching the same family. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner for further info. Regards. Cx
