Suffolk / BURROUGH(S)/BURROWS of Suffolk
« on: Tuesday 12 December 06 13:26 GMT (UK)  »
There is some discussion that our family is linked to the Burroughs family originally from Wickhambrook and Pettaugh, Suffolk in the 1500 & 1600s, based on a genteic DNA result.  The key figure is a Rev George Burroughs who was hanged in the Salem witch trial in the USA (later exonerated I might add!!).  I would be very keen to make contact with anyone who is descended from siblings or relatives of the following people. I'm only missing about 6 or 7 generations to connect with my family from Mattishall Burgh in Norfolk!!!!!!

Norfolk / Burroughs/Burrows/Burroughes of Mattishall
« on: Tuesday 12 December 06 13:07 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching this Mattishall, Norfolk family(ies) and would like to make contact with anyone else who may be researching them.  I have several blanks:

(1) Siblings and parents of Benjamin Burroughs born abt 1769, buried Mattishall Burgh 08/03/1836 aged 67.  Married to Zipporah or Tipporah Edwards and Anne Thayne.  There is an unconfirmed suggestion is father is a Stephen Burrows who married an Elizabeth and had a daughter Elizabeth (B1764). Stephen died in 1792 aged 72, buried in Mattishall Burgh..

(2) Would like to trace the families of the 6 daughters of Benjamin and Zipporah: Maria Perkins (b 1795), Elizabeth Burroughs (b1798), Ann Burroughs (b1801), Mary Burroughs (b 1805), twins Zipporah and Hannah (b 1808). I have found a record of a Zipporah Burrows (father Benjamin Burrows) marrying a George Barker (father Martin Barker) 12 Aug 1838 St John De Sepulchre, Norwich, Norfolk.  I'm not sure if this is "my" Zipporah Burrows. It is thought Elizabeth married a John Miller on 05 March 1817 in North Tuddenham but there is no further confirmation this is a correct link.

(3) Would like to establish the Fitt descendants of Ellen Burroughs (b 1814) and Charles Fitt (b 1812), both of Mattishall, Norfolk.

(4) Would like to establish the descendants of George Newman Burroughs (b 1870; buried 1901 Darlington).  It is thought his children were George Dobson Burroughs (b 1894) and Dora Kate Burroughs (b 1896)

(5) Would like to establish the descendants of Mary Emily Burroughs (b 1873) and George Frederick Sharp.
