Churchyard of Saint Luke, Burton Lazars, Leicestershire, England

Everad BORROUGHS m 1729 Rachel JARVIS
I hope to clarify some BURROUGHS information. Although tentative, it is as accurate as possible at this time, with exact spellings as found - working from my visit to the churchyard of St James in Burton Lazars, Leicesterhire, England in September 1998 and information from the IGI online.

Where there is a discrepancy I believe extracted entries from parish records would be more likely to be accurate than information submitted. For some BURROUGHS entries confirmation would be difficult because the message reads, "Record submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church. No additional information is available. Ancestral File may list the same family and the submitter. No source information is available."

CHRISTENING:
Everet BURROWES chr 2 Jan 1695 Kirby Bellars, Leicestershire, England s/o James/- [IGI Batch C060322 extracted from parish records] The Parish of Kirby Bellars adjoins the Parish of Melton Mowbray to the west.

MARRIAGE:
Everad BORROUGHS married Rachel JARVIS 8 Sep 1729 at Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, England [IGI Batch Number: M064512 extracted from the parish records]

This would seem to be the only marriage entry of three on the IGI for Everad BORROUGHS and Rachel JARVIS which is entirely correct.

Also submitted to the IGI is Everard BURROUGHS m Rachel JARVIS 8 Sep 1729 Burton Lazars, Leicestershire, England [Batch Number: A455228 Source Call No.: 455228-455232] (Spelling and place discrepancies)

Also submitted to the IGI is Everard BORROUGHS m Rachel JARVIS 8 Sep 1729 Of, Burton Lazars, Leicestershire, England [Film Number: 184295 Page Number 250 Reference number: 5587] (This seems to mean that Everard was 'of Burton Lazars')

IGI Marriages 1745-1775 and 1828-1836 for Burton Lazars are Batch Number: M048071 and there is only one extracted record for a BORROUGHS/BURROUGHS, BORROWS/BURROWS marriage - that of Ann BURROUGHS to William THOMPSON 15 Oct 1828 Burton Lazars, Leicestershire, England

DEATH:

This also states Birth: About 1704 Of, Burton Lazars, Leicestershire, England and Marriage: 8 Sep 1729 Burton Lazars [IGI submitted Film 455229] (The burial date fits with the death date but the birth year does not. The marriage date is correct.)

Also submitted to the IGI is Richard JARVIS m 2 Dec 1686 Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, England, Sarah PARR [IGI Batch Number: 7904332 which means NOT extracted from parish records]

She was interr'd Feb: 27th 1729
In the 34th Year of her Age.

Gray line


Farewell Dear husband and ye Petious Children dear
Serve ye the LORD he will of you take Care
Farewell my Dear Relations do not Cry
Serve God and meet in Heaven when you die.
To the right of these two headstones is that of Everard's first wife.
Everard BURROUGH was previously m1. Margerat SARSON 18 May 1719 at Little Dalby, Leicestershire, England [IGI Batch Number: M059822 1580-1794 extracted from parish records] The Parish of Little Dalby adjoins the Parish of Burton Lazars to the south.

Submitted to the IGI are entries for the christenings of 4 children of Edward BURROUGHS and Margaret at Burrough on the Hill: Elizabeth 4 Mar 1719, Thomas 7 Mar 1723, John 8 Aug 1725 and Catharine 14 Aug 1726 [no src info]
The Parish of Burrough (Burrow) on the Hill is 5 miles south of Melton Mowbray and adjacent to the Parish of Little Dalby.
Edward/Everard/Everad/Everet are most likely the same person. But, submitted to the IGI is a probable birth year of Abt 1690 for Edward BURROUGHS Of, Burrough on the Hill, Spouse: Margaret. [IGI no source information] This could mean that Everet BURROWES chr 2 Jan 1695 was born about 4 or 5 yrs before he was christened, but the christening date tallies very nicely with a probable birth year of 1696 calculated from age at death on his gravestone.
