Pre-Immigrant Generation

1. Isaac Burrell

 

Born Approx 1790 in Northumberland, England. Died 14 May 1869 in Doddington Parish, Northumberland, England.

 

Died "at age 82, of Akeld, parish of Kirknewton."

 

Isaac's age, 45+, in the 1841 census suggests a birth year between 1791 and 1796, whereas his reported age at death suggests he was born in 1786/1787.

 

Only the first and last child of the family of Isaac and Jane Burrell appear in extensive lists of baptisms in Wooler, and none in Doddington parish; dates and places of births or baptism for the other siblings of Robert and Isaac have not been found.   Sons Robert and Isaac immigrated to New Brunswick and settled in Harvey Settlement, York County.   (Unknown if other siblings came to Canada.)

 

The major source of information on this family (apart from detail on Robert and Isaac from Canadian descendants) was the 1841 census of Ewart township, in Doddington parish, Wooler district, part of the Glendale Ward of Northumberland.  

 

(Information on the first generation of Isaac and Jane Burrell's family born in England was from research done by John R. Burrell, Burritts Rapids, Ontario, and printed in book form May 2002.)

 

He married Jane, Approx 1814 in England. Born Approx 1790 in Northumberland, England. Died 25 Jul 1866 in Doddington Parish, Northumberland, England.

It is believed that Robert Burrell, his wife Ann Piercy and son Isaac immigrated to New Brunswick and settled at Harvey Settlement from Wooler and Tweedbank, England in 1846.

 

From NB Land Grants book, Robert received "Front 16, 17   Tier 2, NW Harvey, York Co., 100 acres" on 23 Nov 1853.

 

The 1861 Census for Manners Sutton lists Robert as being 41 years of age, English, Farmer, Presbyterian; his wife Ann, 36 years of age, English, Presbyterian; son Isaac, 16 years of age, English; and the rest of the children born in New Brunswick:   George, 14; Jane Ann, 11; Elizabeth, 9; Robert, 6; Alexander, 4; Mary, 2; and John, 6 months.

 

From the 1861 Census, the Burrells employed 3 males.   Owned or occupied 50 acres improved land and 50 acres unimproved land.   Cash value of farm, 100 pounds; value of implements and machinery, 10 pounds.   They had 2 horses, 4 milch cows, 7 other neat cattle, 12 sheep, 2 swine, and 400 lbs. pork slaughtered.   Produced 200 lb. butter, 40 lb. wool,; 8 tons hay, 9 bu. barley, 250 bu. oats, 100 bu. buckwheat, 6 bu. timothy, 10 bu. turnips, 50 bu. potatoes and 5 bu. carrots.

 

He married Ann Piercy, daughter of George Piercy & Ann Winter, 27 Sep 1844 in England. Born 21 Mar 1823 in Wooler District, Northumberland, England. Died 2 Sep 1888 in Harvey Station, NB. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery. Religion Presbyterian.

 

Ann Piercy was the daughter of George Piercy and Ann Winter.   Their family appears in the 1841 census at Walkerwalls, Earle township, in Doddington parish, Wooler district, Northumberland, England.   At that time Ann had two older brothers at home, Thomas 20 and Robert 18; and two younger sisters, Jane 12 and Mary 8.

  15   v.   Elizabeth Burrell

Son of Isaac Burrell & Jane. Born Approx 1825 in Northumberland, England.

   

There were two George Burrells listed with the family in the 1841 census, one age 20+and the other age 15+.   It is most unlikely that they had two sons named George alive in 1841.   The name of one of the sons could have been entered in error as George; or one could have been a nephew from a related family (relationships are not entered in 1841 census).

Thomas's first wife Jane died 10 Nov 1912, seven days after the birth of their last baby.   Five babies died at birth,   born and died on the following dates:   10 Oct 1901, Harvey; 5 May 1906, Harvey/McAdam; 15 Sep 1910, McAdam; 10 Oct 1911, McAdam; and 3 Nov 1912, McAdam.

There was thus some confusion over what the maiden name of Annie actually was. Email correspondence received on January 9, 2014 from great grandaughter Heidi Russell confirmed that her maiden name was Taylor. Heidi Russell provided the following supplementary genealogical information for Annie Taylor:
 

"She was Annie Taylor born 1887, daughter of Robert Taylor & Elizabeth Howie.

William travelled west on two occasions before his marriage and later emigrated to USA.   The first was with his older brother John (date uncertain, but some time after 1881, both were listed in the Manners Sutton census of that year.)   "John became sick, both returned to Harvey, where John died."--information in letter from Gladys Burrell Mason to Guy Burrell in 1971.   In fact, John's wife Jennie died 2 1/2 years before he died; John's death left their daughter, Anna, an orphan.   William went west again, presumably in 1892 after both Anna's parents had died, taking Anna with him to be raised by his brother Robert "Sim" and Cora, who were married and living in Portland, Oregon.   William "returned to Harvey to marry".  

 

William Alexander Burrell and Grave Winnifred Embleton's six children were   born in Harvey, NB.   Later they emigrated to the Oregon/Washington border area of USA in November 1903.   Their children and grandchildren are scattered over the Northwest, some in Utah, California, Washington and Oregon.
