Hi Listers, having seen the recent mailstorm of U.S. based BURNS', I thought I would have a go at reposting my English connection and see if there are any searchers on the list looking for UK based BURNS!! My earliest is David BURNS' born ca 1800. His son, Bartholomew (a labourer), was born ca 1819 and married Margaret COLLINS (born ca 1818) in 1839, Bermondsey, Surrey. They had a son William, born 1841 also in Bermondsey. William married Ellen Ryan, and they had 4 girls...Ellen, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary A. The children were born in Rotherhithe, Kent and Bermondsey. Does this ring bells with anyone? Regards, Nigel. Researching: ADLER - West Surrey 1700-1825. ANSET - Lon/Midx 1800-1850.
