I have recently discovered two people who may be related to me.They were included in the 1911 Census as visitors to the household.Olga was shown as being 4 years old and Beryl was 3,there were no parents listed and their birthplace was shown as Demerara, British Guyana.Any hints as to where I may find out more will be greatly appreciated. Steve.

Researched Kate Thorn as to why they were staying with her, she was Kate Jane GILBERT from Falmouth Devon married George James Thorn 1889 Falmouth registration district.

Father of Samuel- Isaac, Master Mariner, father of Louisa- Richard master mariner.

Olga and Beryl are I expect grandchildren of her sister Louisa Burch nee Gilbert. Further research required.

Possible link son Gilbert Herbert Graham Burch, made a Freemason in Georgetown British Guiana 1912.
Added he was a son of Samuel and Louisa Burch.
In August of 1910 he was a Freemason in Liverpool occupation Stevedore.

Died 1942 Tonbridge Kent.

Louisa also had a son George F H Burch age 17 in 1901Bootle Lancashire born Damara British Guiana, looks like the whole family there at some point so the G Burch could be either George or Gilbert, still more researching required.

Son George Fredrick Burch age 28 salesman married Elsie Kathleen Shields age 28 on 26 July 1910 at Stratford Le Bow
London, both were single. His father Samuel Henderson Burch, sea captain deceased, her father Richard Shields a solicitor.

So Olga and Beryl look to be Gilbert's children at this point.
