Frank Burges also known as Frank Kitley Burges and Frank Kitley. Born 22.2.1853. His mother was
unmarried but later married Matthew Henry Harse Kitley. He is shown on 1861 census living with parents and siblings in Ashley Place WSM. In 1871 he is lodging in Bath a Lower Borough Walls.
He marries in 1880 on 26th April to Sarah Elver.He is shown on 1881 census staying with his
aunt and grandmother in Lower Langford and unmarried? She is living in WSM at 60 Palmer
Street with their son Frank Kitley Burges (Jnr) and his sister Emily. WHY does he say he is
unmarried. they went on to have second child in May 1886 and six weeks later he dies in WSM.
I have a photograph of him in uniform with a pillbox hat so must been taken around 1875? but
also found a deserter of that name from Grenadier Guards. Was this why he said he was unmarried
and was not living with his family. ? Also dont know where he was buried. He is my husbands
great grandfather. Any suggestions would be wonderful.
