More Hurdus information

Sarah Hurdus, nee Broome

Ron contacted me by email a couple of weeks ago, saying he thought he had found the date of death of Sarah Hurdus nee Broome. He was sending away for the death certificate and would get back to me.

He did, so another mystery is solved. Sarah Broome Hurdus died on 24/11/21 in Chadderton age 74 years, she was a widow. Her daughter Sarah Ann Sutherland was present at her death. She died of Senile Decay and Hypostatic Congestion of the Lungs syncope No p.m. Certified by Reginald H.Wright L.R.C.P.

So now, we only have to find the date of death and details of her brother Levi Broome.

Up until recently I was under the impression that Levi Broome was the half brother of Samuel and Sarah, but until BirdEileen found out the name of their mother (Anne), and our research shows her death as being in 1848 - the year of Levi's birth, and her widower Joseph re-marrying in 1849, it seems that Levi was in fact their full brother.

I have details of his birth, marriage, his children etc., but there is no death record. I shall now concentrate on finding this information.

I have just found Sarah Jane Needham nee Hurdus, and it states there is no father's name. Guess she is illegitimate, as she has her mother's maiden surname. I doubt it would be Evi Greaves, unless mother didn't change Sarah's name when she married him.
