1865

In 2023 RB sent this note: My great grandfather Thomas Burris born 1838 in Longacre, London. He enlisted in the Royal Navy and served in the Crimean War. Invalided out in 1858 it appears he married a gypsy and became a ‘hawker’. Married in Whitechapel, London in 1863 my grandmother was not born till 1872. No other children were found in the censuses. It seemed odd that 9 years before a first child I searched for more in the birth, death and baptism records. My latest finding is Martha Burris b. Aug 1865 Cambridge. The Birth certificate states ‘The Butcher’s Arms. I doubt he and his wife stayed there long and I assume they parked a caravan nearby.
