		Issue of William Hurd and Elizabeth Aston
1.		Jane HURD Bap of Jane Hurd 18 Nov 1685 at Countesthorpe, Leicestershire (ref fmp Leicestershire Burials image). Inedexed as "Jone Dafter" (i.e. daughter) but looks more like Jane. "Jane the dafter of William Hurd and Elezabeth his wife were babtized November 18 1685" (ref image). Not the one who married George Tilley; she died in 1749/50 and her Executor was her sister Mary (Burgess).

"Tho Hurd the Sonn of William Hurd and Elezabeth his wife now babtized [sic] Decem 5 1687" (ref fmp Leicestershire Parish Records image). No further information found in FamilySearch, Ancestry or findmypast.
3.		John HURD Bap of John Hurd 29 Oct 1689 at Countesthorpe, Leicestershire (ref fmp Parish Registers). "John Hurd the sonn of Will Hurd and Elezabeth his wife was babtized [sic] Oct 29 1689" (ref image). No further information found in FamilySearch, Ancestry or findmypast.
5.		William HURD Bap of William Hurd 15 Mar 1692 at Countesthorpe, Leicestershire, son of William Hurd (ref FamilySearch England Births and Christenings index). "William Hurd the sonn of William Hurd was baptized March 15 1692" [written in new style] (ref fmp Leicestershire Parish Records image). It appears from the Apprenticeship Records in findmypast (from the Society of Genealogists) that William Hurd was apprenticed in 1712 to his Master, William Wingerton, Frameworkknitter of Wigston Magna, Leicestershire; the premium paid was one pound 10 shillings; William was from Countesthorpe, son of William Hurd, Labourer. Normally apprenticeships were for 7 years. William married an Elizabeth, according to their wills, but an appropriate marriage has not been found, bearing in mind they had a daughter (Elizabeth) who required guardianship at the time of her mother's death so was probably born after 1742; her baptism not found. The wife Elizabeth named a nephew Robert Bruin in her Will who has not been identified.

REFERENCE - FINDMYPAST, LEICESTERSHIRE WILLS AND PROBATE RECORDS, 1500-1939 ---------------------------------------------------------- It has not been possible to identify nephew Robert Bruin or Brewin of Hathern in connection with Elizabeth. It appears that her nephew William Hurd moved from Countesthorpe to Wigston Magna between 1762 and 1766 so he may have inherited the property immediately on the widow Elizabeth's death.
