Hi Everyone,
And thankyou for looking.
I am still looking for information regarding my Gt Gt Gt Grandfarther ,George Durrell.
I would like to obtain information regarding his passing which as proved to be a big problem for me, as i can`t seem to find it anywhere.
He was born around 1830/33. His farther was John Durrell and his mother was a Charlotte Durrell nee Jackson.
George married a Mary Mills in 1852.Her farther was a William Mills a cordwainer at that time.
George and Mary had two children ,one being a Charlotte Elizabeth Durrell born the 26 May 1853 at the Friary in Southsea.
Charlotte married a Richard Bunday or Bundey and Richard was a merchant seaman who i believe drowned.
George was i believe a succesfull brickmaker and most of the Durrells i know off were in the same trade.
I have had much help with this, but still don`t think i have found him yet as there are several Durrells with the same name.
.
Thankyou for your help

Glenn, In 1861 George is still shown as at the Lennox Arms with his father.

George Sn is shown as Beerseller of the pub, and status is married, George Jr is shown as married, and a Brick Burner. It appears that George Jn sister and family are also at the Pub (George Lock, Ceila and 4 children) and a house servant.

This suggests Mary and Children are elswhere

Glenn,
In the national archives, there is a record of the sale of the Lennox Arms from Tamplin Breweries to Friary. If you believe the Owen link, perhaps this record mentions your Burrell's too?

Dear all on genes,still looking for the elusive George Durrell.The George Durrell who died in 1865 is the wrong one,but we believe he is a realative.
I have also been told that a former burial site in Mile End, was in fact a private one, run by trustees, where some Durrells are believed to have been laid.This site is in Portsmouth.It looks like,i have to travel on a different road,the nearest possible match, could be the George buried in Edmonton,can you help with this.
In anticipation

Dear all,
I know this is a pain but i am still looking for my George Durrell,a real big mistery for me this one. As mentioned before the George Durrell who died in 1865 is deffinatley the wrong one, infact this George lived or was staying at 10 Smiths View Southsea with his wife or partner Harriet.
I know there is another George Durrell buried at Shedfield not far from Droxford,and it appears he is not listed anywhere,but the church as a record of his burial, can you kindly help me with this one.
In anticipation,
Glenn
