Individual Details

Agnes "Nancy" Hurley

(April 1836 - 31 October 1894)

Nancy was a traditional nickname for Agnes. Most records have her listed as Nancy although she does appear as Agnes in others. The Hurley/Hadley surname is more of a mystery. I believe the surname was originally Hadley, but it was changed to Hurley at some point for reasons unknown.
