Eliza Burgun

[Dennisson]

Hi ,
Trying to trace the origin of Eliza Burgun born abt 1843 possibly Gloustershire,her father was James Burgun.From 1843 until 1874 I cant find her in any census records,she married William Lundberg in Chertsey ,Surrey 1874.The couple had four children John ,Mary,Margaret,James,their father walked out 1879 and Eliza plus two children turn up in the workhouse in Alcester, Warwick under the name Lundburd.Does any of this ring a bell
Regards ,Dennisson.

I wonder if her name was Burgin and she was from Ireland.

 I can only find one baptism in Gloucestershire and that is at St Philip & Jacob, Bristol 1 July 1838 for an Elizabeth Burgun/Bergum/Bergan parents John and Ann.It's in the transcriptions several times with different spellings of the surname but always the same date and parents.

Parents: James & Anne

Unfortunately I can't see where in Gloucestershire this takes place but you might be able to find out here,

I'm having trouble reading the occupation of her father from the marriage cert.

Does that say "Dealer"?

Burgum and variants are a well known Gloucestershire names.  I don't see a likely baptism that matches Eliza's details but this site may be useful:
