BURSNELL on 1861 '71 '81 and '91 Census please.

this may fill a gap - possibly Elizabeth's maiden name was Prosser?

1851
Bull Ring
Francis Bursnell Head M 27 Whitesmith Ludlow Salop
Elizabeth wife 28 Ludlow
Francis Prosser 10 son Ludlow
Ellen Bursnell daughter 3 Birmingham Warwicks
Elizabeth Bursnell daughter 1 Ludlow
Isabella Prosser widow 64 Mother in Law Ludlow
HO107 1982 336 43

so it looks like Elizabeth had a child pre marriage
this could be her in 1841 (ages of adults 15+ years rounded down to nearest 5yrs)
1841
Upper gaolford Ludlow Salop
James Prosser 50 Wheelwright
Isabella 50
John 20 lab
ELIZABETH 15
Richard 15
Francis 3mths
all b in county

That was the other family I found in 1871 - they then had another grand daughter with them
  Ellen  Bursnell   Granddaughter     24          Birmingham Warwickshire   

Hi Groom

wonder if there is a connection - they don't seem to have children only grandchildren???
I can find them in 1841 but can't find francis b Ludlow???

There is a marriage of a Francis Bursnell Dec 1837 Ludlow - I think he married Sarah Bucknall as they are in the 1841 census transcribed as

Frat Burgnell   35
Sarah Burgnell   25

HO107; Piece: 924; Book: 2  Ludlow
