In 1825 a group of immigrants from Tipperary were brought to Canada by the British government.

There was a Hurley family in the group.  Patrick and Ellen with 6 children ages 3 to 18

were aboard a ship called the Brunswick.

Ellen died shortly after or on the way to Canada and Patrick married Judith English(Inglis)

my great.....grandmother.  They settled in Peterborough Ont.  Their descendents may

be who you are looking for.  Search Peter Robinson settlers for more information.

The Peterborough archives are a wealth of information too.

A distant cousin?
