Hi, I came on to this site some years ago and got a lot of information on the Tapp- Burgess family.
I have recently started looking into my family tree again and I have hit a brick wall with the Tapp-Burgess line again. It is really confusing as sometimes they're down as Tapp and sometimes Burgess.
From the info I got from you before I believe the Tapp-Burgess came from Emma Towner born 1829 in Capel, Kent. She married a John Tapp in 1851 in Ticehurst and I believe she married again in 1856 to a James Burgess. I can't find any information on John Tapp, did he die or were they divorced? Her sister Eliza Towner born 1826 was also born in Capel, Kent. She married Richard Hicks in 1849 in Ticehurst and in the 1861 Census, Emma Burgess her sister and her 2 children Henry aged 9 and Hannah aged 4 are listed with Eliza and Richard Hicks. I would really appreciate any information on John Tapp and also Emma and Eliza's mother and father. Thank you in advance.
