I have ancestors from the Burrow family of Ottery St Mary. My brick wall is John Burrow - born approximately 1766, died definitely 1839 aged 73, birth place and birthdate unknown, parents unknown.
Possible family connections may be either William & Sarah (nee Knowles) family in Wiggaton, or the William Burrow and Keziah (nee Nethercott) family of Kentisbeare and Ottery St Mary.
John Burrow was listed as a sojourner in Milverton, Somersert where he married Amy Hancock in 1817. They had 5 kids and in 1824 the entire family was removed back to Ottery St Mary. They sneaked back to Milverton twice because the next 2 kids were born there. The last (and 8th) child was born in Ottery St Mary in 1832.
After John died in 1839, his widow Amy (aka Emma or Amelia) maried James Lathrope in 1840, but she died in 1843.
I have found all the children, grandchildren and most of the descendents (including myself). I have also traced Amy's family back to the early 1600s in Somerset,. BUT I cannot find any details on John Burrow.
John and Amy's kids were William, Amy (Emma), Thomas, Abraham, Isaac, Sarah, James and Frances. William was born in 1817 - just 5 months after his parents were married. Fanny the youngest was born in 1832.
Does anyone have any connections to this family?
Thank you.
