Hello Val,
I've been watching these threads with great interest for some time without ever commenting although one of our Burnsides' sister has on our behalf.  Her name is Janet and she has just alerted me to this recent addition.  Val I noticed you are from Australia.  I'm organising a get-together for a few Oz descendants and was wondering if you are interested in coming along.

Hi Fred,

Nice to meet again.   What a good feeling to sort something out and be confident you have it right.  But seems there is always something else to search for.  Do love the hunt though.   Wonder what they would thinkof us


Regards Val

Anybody up for the next generation of Burnsides?  Trawling through the PR on Ancestry, found a burial for Ambrose Burnside aged 60 of Darlington on 29/6/1782 at St Peter’s, Leeds.  Cause of death given as "killed by a stab with a knife"!!  Could this be Ambrose, the husband of Isabella Porteous (first child of the couple, so far identified, was Ambrose bp. 24/9/1752 at St Cuthberts, Darlington).

Ouch sounds like fun but worth a "Stab" still would be nice to sort out if said Ambrose was from Darlington.

Hi,

If Ambrose buried at Leeds in 1782 was aged 60 and from Darlington, then it may be Ambrose baptised 1726 Auckland St. Andrew, who married Isabell Porteous.  How interesting though.

Hi All,
            Nice to see you are all still at it. I have 7 children of Ambroses from Ann 1755 to Catherine 1770, but no Ambrose 1752 (who must have died, as theres Ambrose again in1762.)
It`s an interesting find Ermy, and may lead to some  thing else. I have a paper story of Ambrose b.1822 who was found in the morning drowned in the beck at Staindrop,(should have taken his water with the whiskey before leaving the pub).!!

Doh, forgot Edward my 4xggrandfather bp. 20/6/1750, son of Ambrose & Isabella!  I also have Ambrose bp. 24/9/1752, Ann bp. 22/2/1755, Catherine bp. 25/5/1757, Elizabeth bp. 25/3/1760, Ambrose bp. 27/6/1762, Margaret bp. 25/9/1765,  Isabella bp. 18/5/1768 and Catherine bp. 6/6/1770, all at St Cuthbert's, Darlington.  Thanks for that Val, not sure I had a note of that baptism at St Andrew's Auckland, really must sort my paperwork out!  If this burial was Isabella's hubby, wonder if she ever knew what had happened to him on his travels.....

Did anyone look further into Ambrose's death?
