26. Elizabeth
BURNETT
Philip BURNETT of Barugh is known to have had a daughter named Elizabeth - she was a
beneficiary of his will in 1838 when she was described as "my daughter
Elizabeth BURNETT"
A five year gap in baptisms of children of this Philip BURNETT suggests Elizabeth may have been
born c1803.
It his *highly likely* that she was the Elizabeth BURNETT in the following
census extract:
1851 census: HO107/2373, folio 5, p2
Lastingham
Sarah STEPHENSON, head, wid, 28, annuitant, born Cropton
Elizabeth BURNETT, lodger, unm, 40, annuitant, born Barugh
Ann BAXTER, serv, unm, 16, house servant, born Cropton<-----Philip BURNETT's
wife was the former Hannah BAXTER
//
The given age in 1851 suggests birth c1810 - four years after the baptism of
Philip's last known child.
27. Mary
Ann BURNETT
A beneficiary of her father's will in 1838 when she was described as
"... my daughter Mary Ann, wife of Thomas LEADLEY ..."
