I am researching the Burgess family who originated in Overton then moved to Winchester in about 1916.

This a bit general. Can you tell us what you already know and what you are trying to find out. We'd love to help if we can :D

The farthest I have got back with the Burgesses is William who married Elizabeth Lavy in 1768 in Whitchurch. Who Williams father was is a bone of contention, there are two possibilities - Ralph Burgess or Thimothy. It would be good to find out which one.
I would like to hear from anyone with information about the descendants of this family but would particularly like to find out about my fathers immediate family. He was born in Winchester in 1921 to Walter Edward and Emily (Banning) I believe he had at least 8 siblings of whom I can name only 4 so far. My father was Ronald Stanley Burgess. I also believe I have a half sister who I would love to know about, the only information I have about her is that she would be in her mid sixties.
Thanks in advance to anyone with any information.
