Northumberland / Re: Burgoyne / Burgon family
« on: Thursday 18 January 18 14:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. My maiden name is Burgoyne. My grandfather was Benjamin Burgoyne, born in Eyemouth. It was always a family mystery why he was Burgoyne but some of his brothers were Burgon, but he, like George Burgon must have changed his name. The family lived in South Shields but my grandfather lived in Wallsend when he was married and my Dad said his brother lived next door when he was young. My dad's Aunt Aggie[Agnes] Burgon lived in North Shields and I can remember visiting her when I was young.
Regards
Jean
