    3. Can someone please tell me any information on these two towns and where they are located in relation to Warboys. Are they two separate towns or is Old Hurst a reference to Woodhurst? I have a grandfather George Ekins (not sure yet how many greats) who was born (abt 1787) and raised on a farm in Woodhurst, but I have heard of references to Old Hurst as well. My grandfather lived there and was married near there (early 1800's) to Sarah Hobson. Sarah died before George moved his family of 5 young children to The Manor at Warboys. He remarried on 10 Feb 1818 to Rebecca Hempstead from Pidley, Bedford and they lived in The Manor at Warboys. I have heard that Sarah was buried in the churchyard located in front of The Manor at Warboys. George died 28 September 1841 and left his second wife with 11 children (5 from the first marriage and 6 from he second) in The Manor. Many thanks in advance Helen Brahms (nee Ekins) Researching: Angliss, Bawden, Brayzer, Bullen, Cleave, Ekins, Harper, Hempstead, Hendra, Hobson, Hosking, Longland, Petters, Price, Ross, Richards
