Hi,
On my great grandma's Mary Ann Burts birth cert ( born July 1844 at 12 North Quay Weymouth. ) Her parents were James Burt and Susanna nee ZELLEY.
They had two other daughters , Sarah born 1842 and Jemima 1849.
Unfortunatly the parents died , James 1848 and Susanna 1849 and the children were put into the Bristol Orphanage, Ashley Down.
I would like to find out more on Susanna (Zelley ) on the 1841 census. Whether she was still single on had just got married to James Burt as Unfortunatley I have no details of their marriage as yet.
Be very grateful for any help.
Best wishes,
Granny Annie
To discover the life and times of Susan and her siblings such as
William & Richard Zelley be prepared for a long ride
around the world in such places as South Africa, Australia,
New Zealand, the Happy Valley Cemetery in Hong Kong & the HMS "Heroic",
or follow Another William and the Seaforth Highlander of Canada
from Sicily to Rome. Or, relive the the final voyage of the cutter "Spirit"
and the last farewell of James Richard Zelley. Or, at some time
you may want to browse through the "Echoes of the Storm"
in Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Or follow Sarah Purchase and the Conway family to Bristol, and ask were they aware of the plight of the BURT kin so many years before!
