Wow! So pleased to see all the items here especially those from mollipops1 and Dundee -you have all certainly added to my woeful collection of just three birth dates. I was in Tasmania two years ago and found quite a few graves and former land owned by the Burden family. At that time I was not aware of this family but have since been told by another family member who lives near Hobart, that their story was rather tragic, hence my growing interest. After looking at the information on the Hobart Archives Office website, it appears I may have to go back and view any records on site. It's a long and rather expensive way to go, but it may be worthwhile. It certainly helps to know where to look for records and even though I have previously been involved in a huge amount of research, it was a few years ago and since then we have had quite a lot to deal with in our own lives. Your help is encouraging me to continue finding out more about this family. Thank you.
