On the first thread that tn posted.....that has Richard Burgess on 1851/61/71.

That's where Letitia changes her names ...ie: Lydia and Elizabeth

Hi

Maybe coming in too soon with this info, not done this before, but looks like Richard left a will:

Richard Burgess 16 Feb. The Will of Richard Burgess late of 4 Shipton St Hackney Rd in the County of Middlesex who died 26 Sept 1880 at 4 Shipton St was proved at Principal Registry by Letitia Burgess of 4 Shipton St Widow the Relict the sole Executrix

personal estate under £100

i have now read the frist thread  

ok how old was Letitia when she married Richard?
was she old enough to have a pervious marriage uner her belt whether she described herself as spinster or not ? (afetr all this information is only as good as it is porvided)

the London PR's online cover Bethanl Green (i think)

Tn ...

That Bankruptcy article also mentions an Edwin Burgess .....

[tn17]

firstly note I’ve not read through the other threads 

Is there a marriage for Letitia Forbes to Mr. Barrett ?
Who is John Barrett in the 1841 census? Have you followed him ?
1841 census doesn’t show relationships so George may not be Richards brother but cousin so Richards father may be Richard and Georges father maybe Thomas
Can you fin Richard Burgess of 1851 in 1861?

in addition to the details Deb added, I wasn't able to find the 1851 widowed Richard Burgess on either the 1861 or the 1841 (with Fanny or otherwise).

As far as more birth certs go, fair call. I have Ann Mary's and another Genealogist has John's, which also lists Letitia's maiden name as Barrett. If I truly have no luck I may have to order the lot and see where it gets me.

I think Bethnal Green is online, but none of the Burgess kids seem to be on there. Maybe non-conformist?

Certainly old enough to be married twice: Late 20's if 1843 is correct. If the 1843 marriage is the right one, it's after they were together on the 1841 and after the birth of Richard Burgess the third in 1842.

been looking on the London PR's seems none of them were bp.
