Thanks Mike for all this wonderful information - the gravestone records opens up a couple of questions such as where was his family, why didn't they erect a monument, and who was this Charles Hurst?  But I am pretty sure he is one of mine. Thanks once again Mike you certainly can work miracles.

 

Cheers

Colleen

Hi Colleen I agree Bec ause of the area

 

Mike

Coleen We have to Accept the Fact it was around the Time of the famine,The Headstone may have been erected later,By the Ewarts.They are Obviously Linked.Possibly by he Wife.I will see if i can find anything on her

 

Mike

There is an obvious link with Ewarts and Hurst I found a record of a Charles Hurst Marriage to a Mary.Now to be honest she could have been a Ewart or a Mulholland.My betting is on Mulholland.Because of Moses.This would be the First moses As this Anna was Born 1812.

 

Mike

Colleen,Whats strang is CAPTAIN EWART was not buried with his parents,but with Moses Mulholland.There are more inscriptions .That may solve this

The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me Psalm, CXXXVIII, 8 Here lie interred the remains of Charles Hurst of Donaghadee who died on the 1st day of July 1855 in the 83rd year of his age Also of his wife Maryann who died on the 22nd of September 1861 aged 81 years Charles Hurst, MD who died 19th Jan 1875 aged 69 Jane Hurst died 12th May 1886 aged 79 years Till He come Eliza BEWGLASS, wife of Rev James Bewglass, LLD, and daughter of Charles Hurst, died 12th September 1908 aged 93 years.

Hi Mike What has me confounded is not only why this Captain EWART is buried with Moses Mulholland snr but where is his wife Letitia nee Kithcart I can find no reference to her whatsoever and where is Moses Mulholland's wife Catherine nee McMinn, I cannot find her here in Australia there is no sign of her on the passenger list coming to Australia nor any death notices in our country and yet I cannot locate any death's for either these two women in Ireland.

 

Any clues.

 

Cheers

Colleen

Hi Coleen i Cannot answer that,It does seem Strange Maybe With Letitia she was Buried with her Parents.With catherine im sure she,s there somewhere.Captain Ewart ,May have married into the family.

The guy who put up the headstone could well have been a friend.It looks like the headstone was added after ewart Died
