SO
FAR SO GOOD!!
By
searching through Census records and the Births, Marriages and Deaths Indexes, I
have been able to find documentary evidence for all of the above information,
apart from William Burchett's date of birth, and his marriage to Hannah Curwin.
All
of the following I have found out from internet contacts or from what I have
found on genealogy sites. I have no evidence to prove that this information is
factual. Since being able to research my family history more fully since I
retired, I have decided only to accept information about descendants as factual
if I can find actual documentary evidence for this.
SO,
IS ANYONE ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE SOURCES OF THE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE TO
SHOW THAT I AM, IN FACT, DESCENDED FROM SAMUEL BURCHETT WHO WAS SUPPOSEDLY BORN
IN 1676 (AND WILLIAM'S DATE OF BIRTH, AND DETAILS OF HIS MARRIAGE TO HANNAH
CURWIN, AS SHOWN ABOVE)
IF YOU ARE ABLE
TO HELP ME BY POINTING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO FIND THE DOCUMENTARY
EVIDENCE THEN PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT:
