Hello,
I'm researching the ancestry of Francis Burgess, born in England c.1800 to Henry Burgess, who at some point after 1823 moved to South Africa where he died in Willowmore on 3 August 1878.
The only baptism certificate I've been able to find for a Francis Burgess born c.1800 to a Henry Burgess is on FamilySearch.org (Batch Number: C052021), where Francis' baptism is given as 24 Dec. 1800, South Molton, Devon. His parents are listed as Henry Burgess and Mary. Can anyone confirm or deny that this is the same Francis that moved to South Africa? And if it is the same man, any further information on Henry and Mary?
Francis was married at least twice, possibly three times. The name of the mother of his first two children is not known.
- His first child, Jane Burgess, was born c.1823 in Birmingham, England, according to her Death Notice. She married Richard Quinton and died in Willowmore, South Africa on 15 May 1898.
- Francis second child, Elizabeth Burgess, married Pieter Frederik Reynier Swanepoel on 21 May 1849.
Francis married his second wife, Anna Margaretha Magdalena Dirker, on 26 Aug. 1838. She died 23 Feb. 1853. Francis had three children with Anna Dirker:
- Francis Henry Burgess, born 21 Oct. 1840, married Magdalena Christina du Pisani, and died 25 July 1883.
- Anna Maria Burgess, born 29 Nov. 1843, married Hendrik Jacobus Swanepoel on 23 Jan. 1860.
- Ellen Charlotte Jane Burgess married Willem Johannes Scheun
Francis third wife was Elizabeth Slade.
Any further information on this family would be most welcome,
Craig
