ELIZABETH MARSHAL
I cannot be certain that I have found the correct baptism (or parents). There appear to be 2 baptisms at St Mary Lambeth (where her children were baptised), one in 1712 and one in 1720. The 1720 baptism seems the more likely as her husband was baptised in 1718. The baptism entry shows the father as Francis and does not record mothers' names. The most likely marriage of Francis is 27th November 1715 to Mary Lawrenson at St Benet Paul's Wharf; Francis is described as being of St Michael, College Hill which is close by.
However, if both the groom (Walter Burrows) and the bride (Elizabeth Marshal) were associated with St Mary Lambeth, why were they married at St George the Martyr?
Francis & Mary had a son John who may have been the witness of that name at the marriages of Elizabeth Burrows to William Watson and Sarah Burrows to John Field. They had a daughter, Frances, after whom Walter & Elizabeth's daughter, Frances, may have been named.
