Any information, please, regarding Richard (shopkeeper 1831 and pea dealer in 1841) and Mary BURGESS.
Richard was born in Norfolk (Taverham) in 1787 but was living in Framsden in 1831/41/51.
He had two children - Marcella and John Thomas - and I think died in 1852.
Thanks

I have found a burial for a Richard BURGESS aged 78 at Framsden St Mary on 18th September 1865, so I wonder if your Richard actuallly lived longer than you think. With this in mind, I checked Framsden in 1861, and he is there!

Thanks Rick - brilliant
That answers a couple of questions I had - firstly I couldn't understand Richard being a "pea dealer" - sounded odd, but "tea dealer" makes sense cos his son John was a commercial traveler in tea! Also the information fits in perfectly as I found Mary as a widow of 84 in the 1871 Census living with her daughter Marcella and family.
Thanks again
Wendy
