| The Golden Wedding |
This is the photograph that started my research, back in the 1970's. The original belonged to my grandmother, Dorothy MOSS nee BURRELL, and the challenge was to try to name all the people shown. Little did I know that 40 years later I'd still be researching these people and their ancestors!
The photograph was taken about 9th August 1901, in Bedminster, Bristol. It shows my 2xgt grandparents, James BURRELL (1826-1919) and Mary Ann (nee COLLINS) (1826-1919) and their 7 surviving children (the numbers are clockwise, beginning bottom left of picture):
1.William James BURRELL (1852-1933)
2.George Samuel BURRELL (1867-1937)
3.Cornelius BURRELL (1857-1928)
4.Ebenezer Collins BURRELL (1872-1961)
5.William Charles BURRELL (1856-1939)
6.Ellen BURRELL (1859-1917?)
7.Mary Ann Kezia BURRELL (1854-1923)
Subsequent research has found that James was born in Enfield, Nth London, and his wife Mary Ann in Thorley, Hertfordshire. They married at Lambeth Register Office, and their children were born in London, Birmingham and Bristol.
