Narrative
George Burchmore (1762-1843) the son of Thomas and Sarah married Susannah Redding (1763-1784) on 29 October 1784 at Flamstead. George is recorded as occupying some fields owned by the trustees of Dunstable Charity School and 95 acres in Feveralls (also seen as Cheverells) as well as land owned by Sir John Saunders Sebright. Testamentary documents show that George Burchmore died intestate in August 1843. The letter of administration for his estate (D/ELs B878 date 13 October 1843) describes him as a widower of Roe End and gives power of administration to Sarah Rowed (wife of Michael)" the natural and lawful daughter and only child of George Burchmore.
A will of 1839, (ref 73665-6) proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 30 June 1841, is for William Burchmore (1765-1841) of Flamsteadbury (Flamstead Abbey), brother of George, who was buried in Flamstead 30 April 1841 \x{201C}aged 76 years\x{201D}.
