Samuel Burnell
1816-1875
Samuel Burnell was the oldest known child of Robert Burnell and his wife Martha Evans of Coombe Florey in Somerset.
Samuel married Mary Babbidge most likely during the December quarter of 1839 in the district of Taunton and together they had at least eleven children in Lydiard and Coombe Florey, Somerset. A second, and youngest son named 'John Burnell' appears in the family group, although the couple already had a child of this name - perhaps it was an illegitimate grandson?
In 1861, Samuel and his family are living in the Poor Houses of Combe Florey, Somerset, although Samuel is noted as a 'Road Contractor'.
