Hello,
I have this if of any use:
1841,1851,1861, 1871 Census: Thomas Burgham b 1796 Newland Iron Founder
on 1871 Census it has: Iron Founder Employing 7 labourers
his address: Upper Redbrook, Newland, Monmouthshire.

Thomas Burgham m Harriet
8 children: Sarah, John, Henry, Eliza, Lydia, Edwin, James Alfred & William

William became a Clerk
but the other boys that I have traced were all Iron moulders

My interest is in Sarah who had a daughter Sarah Ann Burgham by William Cole
(Sarah was later the second wife of Moses Hawkins of Redbrook)

Sarah Ann was brought up by Harriet until she died
then she lived with her mother's new family, as did Thomas Burgham
Sarah Ann married Thomas Evans Hopkins, tin plate worker, in 1878
in 1881 the same Thomas Burgham, widower, is described as Retired Grocer.

Regards, RER
