Somewhere in 1861 he became sick and was taken to hospital where he died "organic disease of the brain". 15 years later Jane and Bertha came to New Zealand. Most of their kids had left England before then. Iam a descendant of William Burkey H Regards Rob Warrington.

His name is Edward Hannam born 08.05.1807 he lived in Bartholomew Close east london and was married to Jane Burkey. I would be so so grateful for any help in resolving this mystery. Nina
