Hi everyone, I am researching my father's ancestors in NSW, and would appreciate hearing form anyone who is also researching these families, or who has any information on them as part of their own family research. I would also like to make contact with other descendants from any of the families. JOHN HURRELL who came out to NSW from Norfolk in 1853, and settled in Kinchela Creek, Macleay River with his second wife Ellen nee CROWE (father Michael). John Hurrell's first wife Harriet died shortly after they arrived in NSW. They had quite a few children who's names i have. Some of the families they married into include Donnelly, Sanders and Price. John's parents were Mark and Elizabeth, who did not emigrate with John. I know nothing about Ellen Crowe, before her marriage to John Hurrell. James Coffey b c 1829 married Sarah Moyes, and they had Mary Ann, as well as other children, who's names I have. I also have various certificates, which have helped in my research, but Sarah's birth (at Parramatta) was not registered. He father's name was William, and he was listed as a bootmaker on her death certificate. Would anyone happen to have any further information about these Coffey/Moyes families? I have not been able to ascertain when either came to NSW, on what ship etc. they are rather a mystery despite a lot of searching. Any help or information would be much appreciated. I have tried state records, national archives, various shipping lists etc. I am unable to obtain their immigration records at present becasue i do not know enough to request the right ones. I have John Hurrell's immigration records. Thanking you, Barb accenthl@iprimus.com.au
