Australia / William Bartlett BURT
« on: Friday 04 May 12 10:01 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace the whereabouts of William Bartlett Burt and his wife Maria Teresa Furber. They married in Maiden Newton, Dorset, England in 1842 after which I can find no trace of them.
The IHR NSW has an online land record index listing a William Bartlett Burt with one entry with a Title deed in 1853. I suspect this could be the person I am looking for. An old internet post suggests that they went to Sydney and that Maria was a school teacher. If this was the case it would explain why I have been unable to trace them in the UK.
Any help to confirm this family would be much appreciated.
