*Completed*Henry BURGE from Yatton; about 1819
« on: Sunday 25 January 09 11:13 UTC (UK) »
Dear Listers

I am wanting to tie up a piece of research and would appreciate some help.

Henry BURGE was baptised on 7 December 1821 at St Mary the Virgin, Yatton to Benjamin and Jane BURGE.

In 1841, he was living with his  widowed mother Jane, brother John and (widowed) sister Elizabeth in Claverham, Yatton, as follows:

BURGE, Jane        F    58       Somerset
BURGE, John        M    28       Somerset
BURGE, Henry        M    19       Somerset
CANDY, Elizabeth*    F    30       Somerset
CANDY, Eliza        F    6       Somerset
CANDY, Martha        F    3       Somerset

I haven't been able to find him again, except for the following possible sighting in 1851, in St James, Bristol:

BURGE Henry 32 Seaman Clifton Bristol 
Elizabeth 32 Shoe Binder Bristol St James

Can anyone spot the correct marriage for this couple? Are they still alive in 1861?

Any help that might confirm what became  of Henry would be very welcome.

Kind regards and thanks

Philip Candy

This is very clever. Thank you.

It actually fits the details much better than the one I found, and there are entries on freebmd under the name BURGE (not BURGES) that look right.

I have even found a possible marriage between Henry BURGE and Mary WALL in 1842 in Bristol that might be right.

Thanks for this suggestion. Can you see this family in later censuses?

Kind regards

Philip

Yes. I am pretty sure this is the right family, but they seem to have done pretty good job of disappearing!
