His siblings were James b.1834 Sarah b 1837 Elizabeth b 1839 Solomon b 1841 Charles b 1843 William b 1846 George b 1848 Their father William was born 15.9.1811 in Stogumber. Their mother Jane Gadd was born 20.9.1810 in St Decumans. Stogumber and Wivelscombe seem to be same area but there were a lot of Burge families (and there was me thinking it was a more unusual surname!)
