Sarah Burr

before 1737 – after 18 October 1751

Bickenhill, Warwickshire, England

Current position

Sarah was the wife of John Burr and the mother of Elizabeth Burr, who was baptised at Bickenhill, Warwickshire, in 1751. The baptism identifies Elizabeth's parents as John and Sarah Burr but does not state Sarah's maiden surname. Her last name at birth must therefore remain Unknown; the unsupported surname Cooke must not be added.

Assessment: Relationship assessment

The 1751 baptism directly identifies Sarah as Elizabeth's mother and John Burr as Elizabeth's father. Bickenhill is documented for their daughter's baptism; using it for Sarah's own vital-event location is an immediate-family inference and must remain marked uncertain.

No reviewed source identifies Sarah's parents or maiden surname.
