Hello,
Not sure this will reach you ten years later, but I'll give it a go regardless... I am also researching the Burt family from Guernsey. My great grandmother was Florence Ada Burt born in Guernsey in 1883. She married William John Abrahams and they had my grandmother Bertha Abrahams in 1902, along with Gertie 1906, and Gladys 1908. I have Florence's father listed as Joseph Burt but I am not sure if that is correct. I'm an American from NY, living in California. My grandmother came to NY from Cornwall when she was 16, in search of her mother - Florence Ada Burt - who had abandoned her 3 daughters in England after her husband gambled all of her money away and left them with nothing. Florence took a ship to New York and married a well-to-do doctor. She was not thrilled to see my grandmother at her door but offered her a position as a servant. That's all I know. I'd love to learn more about the Burt branch.
