I am researching George Burrell of London.George Was Born -1854in London-George Went to Aus.And married Hanorah Williscroft
-Children were Ellen-George-Gladys-Ellsie-George came over on a ship called Marquis I believe(spelling may be different)parents were Reuben and Margaret Burrell.George died in Sydney in 1872I believe nov6-1925
Thank you so much .I'll be sure to check dates.Williscroft was Hannorah maiden name right.I see now how that can bring the puzzle together.Such a bittersweet story.
