Death certificate for Emily Burrill. A sister to my great, great grandmother, Mary (Burrill) Isbester Day. Emily never married and was a teacher in the Boston area. Why her middle name is "Bridge" is a mystery.
My Grandma Arnold was also researching this line many years ago. She does have some confusing notes on Emily Bridge Burrill and not many details. Grandma's notes list an "Emily Bridge, daughter of Herman and Nancy C. Bridge born July 24th, 1838. Herman Bridge, born in Dorchester Mass June 16, 1875. Herman Bridge died Nov 3, 1863 aged 52 years. Sophia Bridge died Dec. 15, 1863 age 56. Emily died Aug 26, 1849, 11 years." No clue who the Bridges are.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? A family friend that John and Mary Ann named their daughter after, maybe? A family name?
I am seeing the "Bridge" name on some mid 1800 census records being in the same household as the Burrill family. I think I saw Nancy and and Ann. Maybe the same person. ??
