BURGESS /WOOD - KENT TO AUSTRALIA
I am trying to find out more about my gg grandfather, George Burgess (b 1818 Sevenoaks, Kent), who came to Ballarat, Australia in 1849. He married Harriet Adcock (born 1832 Lincolnshire) in 1852 and had 10 children.I have a lot of information in Australia but it has proved difficult as George changed his name to Wood and I cannot find the reason.On their marriage certificate George's name is Burgess but on his death certificate in 1873 his name is "Wood".Most of his children went by the name "Wood Burgess" (separate words). My maiden name is "Woodburgess" (one word).George's father was Thomas, his mother, Harriet. Harriet's father's name was William and her mother, Elizabeth Curtis. If anyone can help me with information on George or Harriet I would appreciate it.
