Dennis Walker (dennis @t walk-4d.demon.co.uk) asked: I am seeking information on family and life of Abigail BURCHMORE who married Ralph THRALE in Wheathampstead, Herts, in 1796. Their children were Thomas THRALE (1801), Sarah THRALE (1805), Mary THRALE (1809), and possibly others. The couple were my gggg grandparents. The lineage is:
Ralph THRALE + Abigail BURCHMORE
Thomas THRALE + Sarah THORPE
Norman THRALE + Caroline WELCH
Ralph THRALE + Ellen TAYLOR
Mildred THRALE + Norman WALKERMost of my information on the THRALE family came from a copy of "Historic Sandridge" by Edward Giles & Richard Thrale, 1969 edition, plus some input from my mother Mildred (nee) THRALE.
I replied:
Thomas Burchmore was born in 1729 or 1730, and may have been the son of the Thomas Burchmore who was buried in Flamstead, Herts, churchyard in 1787, aged 80. On 2nd July 1758 he married Sarah ANDREW at Great Gaddesden, Herts. He died in 1806. They had the following children who survived to adulthood, all baptised at Flamstead:
1760: Thomas Burchmore: married Elizabeth ?? who died in 1797, and then Sarah ??. 7 children
1762: George Burchmore: married Susannah READING: 2 children. Lived at Roe End Farm, Flamstead
1765: William Burchmore: married Hannah DOLLING: 12 children. Lived at Flamstead Bury
1767: Sarah Burchmore: married Ralph THRALE at St Sepulchre, London, in 1799. Children Harriet (1801-79, married James MARDALL); Ralph Norman (1803-76); William (1805-83)
1770: Abigail Burchmore: married Ralph THRALE in 1796. Children Ralph (1798-9); Thomas (1801-40); Elizabeth (1802-6); Sarah (1805-84, married John WILSHER); Mary (1809-82, married John SIBLEY)
A family tree drawn up some years ago, which I have not checked, shows that Sarah ANDREW was the daughter of George Andrew (1698-1767) of Great Gaddesden, and Abigail SLOW, the couple marrying at Kensworth, (then Herts, later Beds), in 1730. It showed George as the son of John Andrew, who married Sarah PEACOCK in 1690 at Edlesborough, Bucks
