William Burgin's signature from his marriage of 1759
William Burgin was born c1733 (he was 76 when buried in 1809). There
is no record of a christening for William in the Flaunden area, so he may not have been
from there. (There is a William Burgin christened in 1732 in nearby Berkhamsted, so
this may be him).
