  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      George Burnistone would have been born around 1600, given his daughter Frances was born in 1629. His parents are currently unknown.

      Family Life
      George had at least two children:

      1. Frances, b. 1629, who married Ralph Midgeley of Breare
      2. Faith, b. 1639, but who died in 1640

      Both baptismal records are on FamilySearch. FMP has another record for another Faith, b. 1631, also to a George, who may also have died in infancy. FMP also has a Marye Burnstone, b. 1621 who could be of the same family.

      This site has a suggested date of marriage of 19 Feb 1626 at St Helen in Stonegate, York, but with no sources, or name of spouse.

      FMP has a marriage record for a George Burniston at an Anne Mancklands in 1625 at York on the 19th of February, which looks to be the same marriage as quoted above (allowing for Julian/Georgian calendars). But no idea if this is the right marriage.
