	Mary is a widow on 1851 census, grandaughter Caroline is with her. >>> Added: not sure about this as her age is quite a bit out. I'll leave just to eliminate it - there was another Mary Burmingham in Petworth on the 1841 census which I think is the one posted below. Name Mary Burningham Event Type Census Event Date 1851 Event Place Petworth, Sussex, England Registration District Petworth Gender Female Age 76 Marital Status Widow Occupation Independent Aunt Relationship to Head of Household Head Birth Year (Estimated) 1775 Birthplace Wisborough Green, Sussex Page Number 19 Registration Number HO107 Piece/Folio 1649 / 248 Affiliate Record Type Household Mary Burningham Head F 76 Wisborough Green, Sussex Caroline Burningham Grand Daughter F 13 Fittleworth, Sussex There's a possible death for Henry: Henry Burmingham Event Type Burial Event Date 24 Mar 1843 Event Place Petworth, Sussex, England Age 55 Birth Year (Estimated) 1788
