Hi. I am in Aus and have also been told that Peter is related somehow, however Im yet to prove how he fits in. I have traced the Burge family back to Somerset England. Our Henry arrived in Aus in 1857 and it seems that only 1 of his sons (Charles) went on to carry the Burge name in Australia. Charles fathered 18 children of which 16 became adults and Peter would be a descendant of one of these male children, if he is related to my Burge side. Hope this message finds you as I have lots on the Australian side.
Regards Jazz
