Hi again,

I'm getting carried away with all this sleuthing so you must tell me if I'm going of course as I'm very new to all this.  I hope you wont be too sidetracked by the following and hope there is a family connection that may help.

Hi Eleesavet

Strange you should post her ... I had seen that yesterday!
Her Father is Richard a rail labourer from Surrey. There doesn't seem to be a connection. Mary Ann the mother is also from Surrey.
their marriage:
Robert Skiffens Burgess = Mary Ann King
1839 Kensington.

Robert's parents were ROBERT (a bricklayer) and Sarah Burgess.


Letitia is driving me nuts ...I rechecked all the marriages again and there is nothing except the Forbes one!

TN ...

Have you followed Richard and Letitia's children through all the censues? If not, I wonder if they would reveal something ..ie: maybe relatives living with them?

Looking at the witnesses at John Burgess' 1868 marriage:
Witnesses: Frederick Webb and Lydia Webb

found this marriage:
Frederick WEBB (leather dealer) = Elidia Tisha Burgess (sic)  ...she makes her mark as does Fred.
Witnesses: Emma Edwards, who witnessed 3 marriage on the page
and Henry Congdon
Her father = Richard Burgess, leather dealer

married: 4 Sep 1865, Bethnal Green, St James the Great

good grief ... She is Elizabeth in 1871 and Elesia in 1881

Great work deb 

Is Lydia's age listed on that cert?

FWIW, Fanny marries Henry Card - Letitia is living with them in 1891.

Also, I have all the Fred Ashby/Ann Mary Burgess ones.

One thought - anything on the 1841 or 1861 that looks like the Lambeth Richard Burgess?
