I am a voluntary researcher attached to a Family History Society and get asked by lots of friends to help them with their ancestry. So this is another friend I am trying to help. A lady on Ancestry had done quite a lot of work on this particular Spring family. I did as much checking and research as I could on my own. I know that George's wife Eleanor was born in Ireland as her birthplace is given as Ireland on the 1851 census. George died in 1847 and Ellen remarried a James Spriggs in 1849, her father is named as James Hurl on the marriage record .
It looks as if according to the 1841 census for Doddington, March that George Spring baptised 1782 in Limerick was 60 and that his wife Ellen [Eleanor] was 40 [20 years younger] children were Thomas aged 15 [probably died 1889 aged 62], Henry aged 9, James aged 5, Sarah aged 5 months[the only one born in County] living with them is a young Irish couple Thomas Carrak aged 25, Bridget Carrak aged 20 and James [writing illegible for age but a baby].
The lady who had done some research into the family wrote the following " Having already established Irish ancestry through DNA, I traced George Spring senior and his wife Eleanor (nee Hurl) to Ireland, he from Limerick and she from County Wicklow. But due to the age of these records I cannot be certain they are accurate. If they are, George senior's father is William Spring, also born in Limerick and Eleanor's father is James Hurl who I have been unable to find much information about. It's some time since I researched that branch"
Thank-you for your interest .
