    John born 1835 he was a shoe maker
    Joseph 1838
    Maria 1840(although the census transcript shows 1841) but she is 10 months which would take her birth to 1840.

    The parents were John born 1811
    Maria born 1812

    There is also a Benjamin Goarding aged 16 living at the house he was an apprentice but the first word is hard to read

    RG number HO107 Piece 335 Folio 4 page 2

    I hope this helps

    Benjamin Gooding 26 Essex (I wonder if he is the Benjamin on the 1841 census and therefore Maria's brother)
    Eliza 26 from Hertfordshire
    Samuel 4 Middlesex

    Also looking for Frederick Francis Briggs, born about 1874 Marylebone, may have had a brother Charles; married Alice Maud Burrows 1905 in West Ham. I have had no luck in finding his parents. taximom

    Hello taximom
    I’m the great grand daughter of Joseph Burrows. His daughter was my granny, Kathleen. I’m so excited to find a Burrows descendent. Did you manage to trace any further back?

    Hello JMorrow,

    Welcome to British-Genealogy.

    Unfortunately this is an old thread and taximom is no longer a member of the forum (as shown by the word 'guest' beneath their name) and we are unable to alert them to your post because we have no contact details.

    However, nil desperandum because you never know what results your post will bring.

    If you have any further questions regarding this family, please post them in this thread so people who wish to help can see exactly what has been found so far.

    1841 census doesn’t list any house numbers.

    Hi JMorrow -

    This may be an old thread ... but it's helped to bring a lot of us Burrowses together. I am another one ... great x4 grandson of John and Maria, via their son John who married Sarah Kipling, via their son George Kipling Burrows via his son George Vincent Burrows via his son Frank Herbert Burrows, via one of his three sons (my father ... whom I shall not name on a public forum because he is still living).

    My brother lives in Australia too; I am still in England.

    I have done a lot of research on this line, and have visited as many of the relevant locations as I am able.

    If you care to e-mail me on jbmountainleader AT gmail DOT com I shall be happy to share my notes and queries; and would be delighted to receive any notes and queries which you may have in return.

    I have got the line back into the 18th century but it is very difficult to piece together. They were nonconformists, and not all of the nonconformist records are currently available digitally, so there are a number of brick walls that I am currently scrabbling at. Family traditions have been invaluable in providing little hints here and there, so I would be very interested in any that you have heard.

    The main and most interesting family tradition which may yet enable some breakthroughs to be made is that we are descended from Dutch Huguenot immigrants. I have picked this up from three different sources ... but I have not yet managed to establish whether they are independent of one another, or if two of them got it from the third (or one from the second, who in turn got it from the third). John the elder's brother Joseph was a Colchester seedsman and nurseryman, and I have found a reference to a court case where he obtained judgement for the unpaid price of tulips. Not proof positive of the tradition, by any means ... but certainly consistent with a Dutch connection ... and Colchester was definitely one of the centres of Durtch Huguenot immigration.

    If this tradition is correct then it raises the possibility that the family adopted the name Burrows in honour of the great Colchester puritan preacher of the 17th century Jeremiah Burrows (a possibility that is particularly tantalising for me, as I am Jeremy Burrows ... ). There has almost certainly been a name change if we ARE of Dutch Huguenot descent, since Burrows is not exactly a very Dutch name. And that then raises the problem of identifying WHO changed their name, and when, and most importantly what their previous name had been.

    This could be VERY difficult to establish ... but I am looking into the possibility that it may all be there for us in the records of the Masonic Grand Lodge. My grandfather and great greandfather were both freemasons ... but does Burrows freemasonry go back any further? My great great grandfather, and my great x 3 grandfather (that's the younger John Burrows) were both buried in the same grave in Woodgrange Park cemetery (as were their wives). Woodgrange Park was originally an exclusively masonic burial ground; but by the time my great x3 grandfather bought his plot it had been opened to allcomers and it was a convenient loacl cemetery for him. So his purchase of the burial plot there is not conclusive that he too was a freemason, but it is certainly suggestive; and it is therefore possible that there is a long line of freemasons here with each father introducing his son to the craft, and that this will lead us back all the way to the ancestor who adopted the name Burrows. If so, then it will hopefully give us his previous name, too, and open up all sorts of further avenues for research (starting, most obviously, with the Huguenot Society). If your branch of the family has a masonic tradition too, then this will greatly increase my hopes for getting something helpful out of this line of enquiry.

    I am intending to visit the Masonic Grand Lodge in the next couple of weeks to get a search for any masonic records for my great great grandfather George Kipling Burrows. This is going to cost me, as I don't know his lodge (they give you the records for free if you DO know the lodge ... )

    Anyway, if you see this then do please get in touch.

    Kind regards,

    Jeremy
