Thank you Cando and Jenn for all your help. I have got on quite well with the English side - census and BMD's but would never have got so far without your Australian help.
I now have this friend's 3X Great Grand parents on both sides but obviously very sketchy on the early ones, more work to be done. I was going to ask you about the marriage of Ada D M Burden so thanks Cando you've got it and some more reading for me to do.
I still have a big problem! I wanted to find out when the family first emigrated but have gone cross eyed looking. But I was looking for Jones when I should have looked for Burden. The main problem is did they pay to go or were they assisted. And it seems now that they went to Vic rather than Adelaide.
So now I am looking for Phillip Henry Burden, B. 1824 Ledbury Herefordshire, wife Mary(Jones), born 1827 Hatfield, Worcestershire, and at least 2 children the last born Sept. 1852 in London ,Phillip was a grocer. The next child is born Sep. 1854 in Burnside, Caulfield, Victoria, SA. So there is a window
(hate that expression) between Sep 1852 and Sep 1854. I am continuing to look but if either of you have any bright ideas............ (have to take my long suffering partner out to lunch today!)
Thank you both once again,
Abiam
