I have hit a brick wall in trying to trace Hurrell ancestors from Pembroke Dock.
Stephen Hurrell b1812 was married in St. Mary's Parish Church, Pembroke Dock to Elizabeth Lewis on 20 Jan 1840. I have a copy of their marriage certificate. It shows Stephen's father as George who was a shoe maker.
I can find no trace of Stephen's birth or any other trace of George - although the family name of Hurrell does crop up in England - but none of the occupations of the George's are the same and I can't find a son Stephen being born to a George either which seems to fit the bill.
Stephen's occupation was shown as "marine" on the marriage certificate. First of all I thought this should have been "mariner" but now I am wondering if it meant he was in the Royal Marines as I understand they were there for the ship building.
The 1861 wales census shows Stephen's wife living in Llanstadwell at the time and lists her as being the wife of cook working on a steam packet.
Stephen died in Cheshire on 10 Nov 1877.
If anyone can help looking up parish records or suggest where else I can look it would be really appreciated! :-)
Thanks

Hiya I have the book Pembroke People which has details of all the people who lived in that area between 1800 and 1837 the book chapters come under under Occupations there are No Hurrells under Shoemakers .Or under Naval Men or Marines.So looks likely he didnt come from there.
Have you tried the National Archives site look for his service record if he was in the Marines.There is one i found on there right birthdate Stephen Hurrell born Essex his Attestation Papers to serve in the Royal Marines at Chatham in 1829 age 18 with 49th Company Discharged 1850 .You could try to follow this Stephen through the census and check out Fathers name.And see if his regiment was ever in Pembroke Dock worth a shot anyway.
Sorry not to have been more help.What address does it give for Elizabeth and Stephen on marriage cert and what is Elizabeths Fathers name and occupation?

Thank you so much, Welsh Lady! :-)
It gives me something to go on - instead of looking at the brickwall!
After I posted the listing last night the thought hit me that perhaps, if Stephen was in the Marines, it would mean that Pembroke Dock was not his family home, although he could be posted there, and therefore he could well be from another part of the country.
The address for Stephen on the marriage cert was just given as Pembroke Dock, the same for Elizabeth Lewis. John Lewis was her father and his occupation was listed as a mariner. Their witnesses were Joseph Perkins and George Froyne.
I am taking your advice to check out the National Archives.
Thanks again for your help - its very much appreciated!

Hiya,Under Mariners in the Book is John Lewis ,wife Mary and a daughter Sarah baptised at St Michael 05/03/1819
So a possible for Elizabeths Parents and a sister.Some people have more info on them than others.
George Froyne one of the witnesses is the Parish Clerk hes a witness in a lot of my family marriages at that time there so isnt a family member.

Thanks again, Welsh Lady!
I have found that a corp from the 49th Royal Marine Light Infantry originally from Chatham were infact posted to Pembroke Dock to guard the new royal dockyard. So it is looking even more likely that my Stephen was the same Stephen who was in the Royal Marines. I would not have made that link if it hadn't been for your help. I can't thank you enough!
I am in the process of getting his records from the national archives to see if there is anything in them which can help further.
Thanks, too, for looking up John Lewis for me!
Best wishes
CMW

Stephen Hurrell b1812 was married in St. Mary's Parish Church, Pembroke Dock to Elizabeth Lewis on 20 Jan 1840. it would be really appreciated! :-)
Thanks
Whilst I can confirm that the mreg took place at Pembroke St Mary, sorry to correct you but Pembroke St Mary is in Pembroke Town. The parish church for Pembroke Dock is Pembroke Dock St John. Paterchurch later the town of Pembroke Dock came under Pembroke St Mary pre the mid 1840's, however since it was not a borough in its own right it continued to come under Pembroke St Mary for Civil matters, ie lodging inspection, Gas Lighting, police rates etc etc., until the 1870's
From my index of Pembroke St Mary baptism register 1822 to 1847 I note
25 Jan 1843 George to Stephen & Elizabeth of The Dock a Marine baptised by Will Lloyd.
The next references I can find are Jane 1848, John 1845, Joseph 1850samuel Edward 1863 all baptised at Pembroke Dock St John.
Also I note baptised to David & Elizabeth Hurrell at Bosheston
James 17 Apr 1867 and Sarah 06 Mar 1864.
For future reference I have a Louis Hurrell who was buried at Pembroke Dock Military Cemetery in 1911, I have a picture of his funeral. His parents where from Exeter where he worked as a Porter on the railways. Perhaps your own Hurrells came from Devon.
I have checked my baptism index's for both St Michael and St Mary and there is no reference to the baptism of a Stephen Hurrell circa 1812. Pembroke Dock St John parish registers do not start until the mid 1840's.
Hope this is of some assistance
