Hi Jill,

According to some old notes of mine, John was baptised 2 Sep 1787 at WB. His parents were John and Sarah, who had many children baptised in WB, John being one of the eldest. Sarah may have been Sarah Ferris, from Wroughton (and married there 1782). A plausible baptism for John is 1763, son of William Burchell. My notes go no further back. A list of WB inhabitants dated 1793 lists, among the paupers, John Burchell, his wife and five children.

I believe your ggggm's name appears as NOTT in the marriage record.

Good luck!

Sorry but that's all I know about George Burchell's family.
The Royal Canadian Legion in Corner Brook is setting up a "Wall of Rememberance" with photographs of local soldiers lost in war. It would be great to have a photo of George to be included on that wall.

Sorry I have no picture but I remember seeing one as a child.
The pic was taken during the war, he was sitting on a motorcycle in uniform. My aunt may have the picture, I will see if I can get my hands on it. Was Albert William bother? Is there anything u can tell me me about the Burchell family.

George Burchell was my Great Uncle. My grandmother Rosie ( Rosanna) was his older sister. George inlisted to be in the war at the age of 17, he was killed in Africa at only 23 years of age. My grandmother was his only full sibling but he had many half siblings from his father's first marriage.

I am looking for a bit of information on my grandfather, Cyril Zachariah Burchell. He was born in Sydney Mines March 16, 1896. His father was Zachariah Burchell, his mother was Sarah Devine. He had a sister Sarah, a brother Robert, and two other brothers.

He fought in WW1, returned and attended the college of Notre Dame during the tenure of Knute Rockney. He returned to Canada, married Sydney Mines, married Clare Cahill, and moved to Edmonton, Alberta where he was an active educator and very involved in the city sports scene.

He and Clare raised three children, John Donald "Butch"', Elizibeth Ann, and Rosemary Clare.

Transcript of Gordon Henry Candow
When I was leaving home, coming out Georgia Town Road, down here. Petrie's, where I live. This fellow came up from a house to wish me all the best. His name was George Burchell. And , O.K. I went on. And this night in Africa, George came in as a reinforcement. We had some casualties and he had been to England, a year or so before and did the training and everything and was ready to go on the guns, as a gunner, he was trained as a gunner. He came in at night of course and he was just waiting around for, to see the Sgt. Major in the morning. And when I came off duty here was George and I remembered him, shook hands with him and so on and he told me what he was going to do. And there was a Tiger tank up this slope, grassy slope about two hundred yards away that we had knocked out two or three days before. And he said to me, "Would it be alright to go up and have a look around?" He asked me if it was a Tiger and I said "Yes." and he said, "Would it be alright to go up and have a look around?" I said "Sure, I got no authority whatever you want to do I suppose". I said "You haven't been detailed?" "No," he said, "I haven't seen anybody". He said, "Well I'm going up". So George went up and about five minutes after I heard this big "rhump", looked up and here's this fellow (inaudible). So I remember myself, Tony Hall, he's dead now, ran up, and this was George. He picked up a potato masher, a German hand grenade, and pulled the string; plunk, plunk, plunk. In action ten minutes and killed.

I think the 1940 census will be available in April sometime next year.
Maybe you can find them then. With the girls once they are married or unless you can find them in a family obituary with their names your kind of out of luck.
But who knows, someone might know them or they might respond to your query.

Did you try familysearch.org?

Good luck in your search

Thank you for that information, but I believe that I already have that. I'm looking or hoping to find long lost relatives. I lost track of Ambrose, Eleanor, Ida and Dorothy after a few year. In 1930, there is no more mention of Ambrose and Ida. We are trying to reconnect with family back o the island.

chare2010 — 2011-08-29 17:27:45Z

We are currently looking for any relatives to Ambrose and Eleanor Burchell, their children were Percival and Ida. Percy then married Irene Williams and their daughters were Phyllis and Winifred. Phyllis had two cousins that came to the states to visit and their names were Dorothy Burchell and Sybil Law. Sybil had either a daughter or grand named Lovely. Most of the burchell family came to America between 1909-1923. We really want to know more of our history and get to know our family.

Burchell's from Canada to UK

rachelUK — 2010-03-26 12:42:46Z

In a 1901 census I have a Caroline Ann CORNWELL, b abt 1856 in Ash, Kent, with 3 BURCHELL children - Robert Edward, aged 15, born in London and then William, aged 12 born in Canada and George aged 11 also born in Canada. In the 1911 census I again find Caroline with her husband Louis CORNWELL, with only Robert. In 1901, the 3 children are listed as "sons" to Louis, whereas in 1911, Robert is now a "boarder". I cannot find the other 2 children in the 1911 census. I cannot find a marriage of Caroline and Louis. I can find a marriage of a caroline to a Robert BURCHELL in 1885. I cannot find what happened to Robert (if he is the one) or what happened to George and William. If anyone could shed any light on this, I would be VERY greatful !
Thanks

I would welcome anyone to look at my tree so far and give me any pointers, as I am a newbie to this hobby.

say leigh

I cant believe youve never heard of "the book." everyone used to have a copy of this book, but now they are getting scarce. it wasnt a book on the burchell family tree, but it included us to the point of joseph (the man you were looking for.) i think thats where it stopped.
if fred was your father, my father (james) and you were cousins. my father and his two sisters have already passed, but...you know, my email is jimi_russell@hotmail.com

hit me up there, and we can definitely get something figured out.

Hi Jim,

I'm sure its James born 1856 in Ireland and married to Adda Grace Vroman I found a US census taken in Nebraska with his name,wife & children on of which (Fred C. Burchell) was my grandfather..I agree I'm pretty sure Charles was his brother because I found his name on the same census several lines above...It appears they were neighbors...Any information you have would be helpful I really need the name of their parents..And I would love the name of the book you spoke of...

Thanks for your help I'm really new @ this stuff its great to hear from a Burchell (you must have been given my Grandfathers name)

Talk with you soon,

Hey Leigh,

I got curious. Joseph is the man youre looking for. He was born in 1820 and died in 97. charles and thomas were brothers...im pretty sure of that. anyway, past joseph, i really dont have any idea. i went to a family reunion in 1992. i was 10 years old but the t-shirts all started they were from county cork. its odd because later i was reading that "one" book which stated they were from either kerry or galway. so now im not sure.

Re: Burchells in Nebraska

Burchell550 — 2009-03-13 14:09:57Z

hello leigh

james was my great grandfather. i'm out of country so i can't get that answer right now. i think its either charles or thomas (i get confused.) i'll get ahold of someone who can answer that one. this is also my second time on here, so i don't know a lot either. are you from nebraska?

Hey there!
My name is James Burchell. My father was James, his father Archie(Dick), and his father was the James of which you speak of.
I have the same book as you, and I probably can't be of use. My father, grandfather, and great-grandfather have since passed without me ever being much interested. There is still an old woman living in Nebraska by the name of Gladys Starr. She seems to know the most, and I can get in contact with her if you like. The sooner would be better. Its nice to meet you...even though we havent lol.

I have no dates for the Geroge Burchell that I am searching for, but some records say he married an Elizabeth Keeley or Keely. She was born about 1837.
Somtimes the name is spelled Burchell, sometimes Birchall, Birchell.

Newfoundland and Cape Breton Connections

ediecook0807 — 2008-02-08 16:49:13Z

I am looking for any Keigan or Burchell families that are related to a Bridget Keigan Burchell of Sydney Mines/Ingonishe. I have a document covering a land grant of 1854 for settling lands in Cape Breton. This document states that William Keigan, Joseph Keigan, Michael Keigan, Matthew Keigan and Bridget Burchell, heirs of Owen Keigan, late of Ingonishe in the County of Victoria, farmer, were to inherit 200 acres of land in Cape Breton. On top of this document it shows that it copy was delivered to Matthew Keigan June 18, 1906 (no address is shown). Other dates on the document are the 14th of November 1860 and 4th of June 1861.

Bridget married Peter Burchell and their daughter Elizabeth married William Cook of Sydney Mines, my great grandfather. I need help in obtaining information connecting the Keigan, Burchell and Cook(e) families. The Cook family has a Newfoundland, Sydney Mines, Glace Bay/Reserve Mines and New Waterford connection.

I have a public tree on ancestry which will show you the information I have already gathered.

Appreciate any information in helping me put this puzzle together.

Hello Keith

I am also looking for a Benjamin Burchell. I am trying to find a record of when Bejamin's mother Bridget Keigan and his father Peter Burchell were married and where. I have a listed of Keigan and Burchell descendants. The Keigan list shows that Bridget Keigan and Peter Burchell married and the names of their children. However, no date or place is shown nor is my gggrandmother Elizabeth Burchell listed. I cannot locate Bridget on the Burchell list. Their is a Peter Burchell, born 1806 but he is not married to Bridget and does not have a daughter Elizabeth. In the 1901 Canadian Census Bridget Burchell is living with Elizabeth Cook, my ggrandmother.

Below is an item I pulled up from the NS archives showing that Benjamin Burchell son of Peter Burchell and Bridgt Keigan was married 15 Feb 1872 in Sydney Mines to Sarah Ann MacKinnon.

www.novascotiagenealogy.com
Sarah Ann MacKinnon and Benjamin Burchell married 1872 in Cape Breton County
Item can be found in Registration Year: 1872 - Book: 1804 - Page: 57 - Number: 38

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
