BURGESS family in Blithfield / Newton
« on: Wednesday 22 February 06 22:10 GMT (UK) »
I'm interested in finding more info on the following members of my family:

James BURGESS b.1805  Blithfield, Staffordshire
He lived most of his life in Middlesex & London before returning to Newton, Staffs as a farmer in his old age.

Wife: Sarah Elizabeth (nee?)  b.1804 in Barnes, Surrey

Their children:
Mary Ann  b.1835,  Middlesex
Lewis Charles  b. 1836, Middx
Emma E  b.1838, Lambeth
Edwin Henry  b. 1841, Lambeth  (my grt grt grandfather)
Maria Jane  b. 1843, Lambeth

Edwin went on to marry Eliza OSBORN b.1839, Limehouse, Middx
Their children:
Isabel Emma b.1864, Middx
Eliza C  b.1866, Middx
Helen Maria  b.1867, Essex
Annie Louise  b.1870, Essex
Charles Walter  b.1874, Essex (my grt grandfather)

Charles Walter married Ellen RADFORD b. 1880 approx. (Derbyshire?)
Their only known child:
Norman  b.1909, Romford, Essex

Any info on the above people would be gratefully received!  I have traced many of them whilst living as a family but once they leave home I lose them (especially the females, for obvious reasons). I have James BURGESS back to the 1851 census but can get back no further.

Thanks

Hi,

I think this is the family in 1841,


HO107/1058; /11  f.20  p.6  St Mary, Lambeth
Pleasant Place

BURGESS
James     36    Postman   
Sarah     35
Mary        8
Lewis       6
Emma       4
James      2
Edwin      ?months             

All have Y for born in County but I've seen this be wrong many times before.


This looks a possible marriage for James and Sarah but it would be best to get a birth cert. of one of the children to confirm it.


Marriage
01 Sep 1831
St Mary Newington, Surrey
James BURGESS
Bachelor
Sarah Elizabeth FOSTER
Spinster
Witnesses:  Wm WILLIAMS,  Sarah MASON



Christening
25 Jan 1805 
Blithfield, Staffordshire
James BURGESS   
Father: Lewis BURGESS   
Mother: Ann


Christening
04 Jan 1804 
Barnes, Surrey
Sarah Elizabeth FOSTER 
Father: Cha.S FOSTER   
Mother: Damaras   


Regards,
Daisy
