Hello all, Some months ago I was in contact with someone on this list regarding the BURNHAMs of Preston. My links are from an Edward bap. Preston 1 Mar 1743 son of Edward. I cannot find your Francis b.1727, but there was a Francis bap. 4 Jan 1743 son of Francis. I cannot find Edward and Francis Snr's parentage, but I would bet they were siblings. I note there were also other Edward and Francis BURNHAMs in Sculcoates at that time. Elizabeth Sophia BURNHAM spouce of Dave SOUTTER is descended from Francis b.1743. If anyone wants details of that line please contact me off list. Regards, Peter Fewson at [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected])
