Greetings from an overcast Sydney Australia. Although I have no information on Hurst or Sproule, I found this message interesting because of the Irvinestown - Bobcaygeon connection. Part of my BEATTY lineage, from the Kilskeery area a few kilometres south-east of Irvinestown (aka Lowtherstown) went to Bobcaygeon about 1867.
