[sharona]

Hi i am trying to trace information about the family of Mary Burwell who married Frederick Richardson in 1865. i think in Yorkshire. Mary was born in Lincolnshire in 1845. her father was Christopher born 1801. I can't seem to get any more info. also if anyone has any info on the richardsons. Frederick  was born in sussex  1835.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi
Welcome to rootschat 

I presume you are referring to Mary bn Legsby.

There is this christening for her brother William on the IGI
WILLIAM NICHOLSON BURWELL

  Father  CHRISTOPHER BURWELL 
  Mother  REBECCA     
 

Rebeccas surname may be Nicholson

There is reference to a will for a Christopher Burwell on Lincstothepast  http://www.lincstothepast.com/home/

Will - Burwell, Christopher

Reference Name LCC WILLS/1850/67
Name: Burwell, Christopher
Place: Legsby, Lincolnshire
Repository: Lincolnshire Archives [057]


It might be an idea if you post your Richardson request on the Sussex board.

Christopher and Rebecca are transcribed as Burrell in 1841 both 40 and living in Legsby Lincolnshire.

This might be his death? As Rebecca is listed as being a widow in later censuses.
