William Burr was baptised at St. John the Evangelist Church in Lambeth in Jan 1832. He was only a month old at the time. He and his parents, Samuel and Sarah (nee Bridgens) Burr left for Canada sometime in the next year after that. Can you help find a record of his parents' marriage? |

Cont... Sarah was almost 10 years older than Samuel. She was the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Bridgens and was born in Droitwich in 1793. The family story is that she was 'in service' and had saved up quite a bit of money. Samuel was born in January 1802 (according to a family bible owned by a descendent). They emigrated to Ontario Canada in 1833. This is all I have at the moment, so there's no more information to add. |

Ah, what it means is, they lived at Hastings Ontario and they were married before 1833! The marriage would have been before they emigrated. Still no further forward I'm afraid! |
