    • Early Life
      Frances Nelson was the daughter of Richard Nelson and Margaret Adams; her exact date of birth is not known but she was probably born around 1695, given that she married in 1716 and that her son Nelson Burtsal was born in 1735 (it's unlikely Frances was much older than 45 when she had her son).

      'of Bungay' in her marriage record, she married William Burtsal of Ludham in Norfolk, at St Stephen in Norwich, on the 29th of April 1716.
