1871 census shows 2 Elizabeth Burgons born 1856/58 Berwick.
According to 1891 census, Elizabeth Burgon was born West Hartlepool, Durham
but 1881 shows her born Berwick so you may need the marriage cert to make sure which are her parents.

If you want to leap across to other members of the Burgon family then I've got info on another family, possibly cousins of this lot, at the same time. Also fishermen, with a father Peter, living in Berwick.
