Can anyone help me with this mystery? My gt gt grandfather is Thomas Burne (as on his marriage cert). His father was Michael Burne a blacksmith of Mevagissey. Thomas married Susan Philp on 26th November 1850 and they were both of "full age". Susan's father was Richard Philp, a fisherman of Mevagissey. Thomas was a mariner.
In all my searching the only Thomas Burne born in Mevaggisey that I can find, was born in 1925 and the only parents I can see for Thomas are Michael Burne and Jane Ley but another person researching this family tells me that Thomas died as a child. I am worried that I might have made an assumption that Michael Burne/Burns/Burne and Jane Ley are Thomas's parents when they might not be and that I might have attached my Thomas to the wrong family.
