General Notes: Henry was a soldier in the British Army who served in the Indian Uprising somwhere in the 1850's. He was unhappy with the way the war was conducted by the British, as a result he
deserted upon his return to England and jumped ship at East London. There he assumed the "Alias"
Robert Hurn. This was the name of a friend whom he knew was now living in South Africa. He was
eventually caught and his confession is on record in the archives in Cape Town. Nevertheless he kept
the name Robert Hurn. He Married Hester Maria Oosthuizen and settled in Lichtenburg in the Groot
Marico District. His decendents are mostly Afrikaans speaking as in contrast the other (real) Hurn
who married Jane Sansom and settled in the East London area, his decendents are all English
speaking. These two great families later became related by marriage on the side of Hester
Oosthuizen's family.
