Title: Burgoyne / Burgon family
Post by: CarolBurns on Sunday 09 April 06 18:42 BST (UK)

I am looking for info on the Burgon / Burgoyne Family

George Burgon (b 1836 berwick, Scotland) married Agnes Fanny Horsburgh (b Aug 1844 Coldingham) on 30 Aug 1870

They had 10 children

PETER 1860 BERWICK
JAMES ALEXANDER 1868 BERWICK
ALEXANDER 1870 BERWICK
GEORGE 1871 BERWICK
DAVID 1874 BERWICK ON TWEED
WILLIAM D 1876 BERWICK ON TWEED
JANE 1878 BERWICK ON TWEED
ELIZABETH 1880 BERWICK ON TWEED
BENJAMIN 1886 EYEMOUTH
AGNES 1890 BERWICK ON TWEED

George Burgon changed his name to BURGOYNE went on to marry Jane Organ (b 1871) in Nov 1895. They had 12 children.

GEORGE  -  DATE UNKNOWN
BENJAMIN  -  DATE UNKNOWN
JENNY -  DATE UNKNOWN
LILY -  DATE UNKNOWN
NELLIE  -  DATE UNKNOWN
AGNES - DATE UNKNOWN
HENRIETTA - 1898 NORTH SHIELDS
THOMAS LAUDER - 1907
DAVID - 1908 WALLSEND
VICTOR - 1912 TYNESIDE
CLIFFORD - 1914 TYNESIDE
SEPTIMUS - 1915 DIED AS A BABY

I have managed to find relatives of George, Agnes, Henrietta, Thomas, David and Clifford but the others are a mystery. Some of the info I have is incomplete as far as dates are concerned.

All the children of the above are 3rd cousins of my husband. Their common ancestor is Alexander Horsburgh (father of Agnes fanny Horsburgh and hubby's Great Grandmother Jane Horsburgh) and Elizabeth Blackhall.

I am tying to complete this branch of the family and would be grateful of any info from anyone (especially relatives)

Thanks in advance for reading

Carol

Hi Carol, 

I'm looking to figure out this Burgon/Burgoyne line too.  How are getting on?  I can maybe help with the Burgoyne bit.  I'm wondering why George would have changed his name?
