William Albert Burge  - father unknown, born 18th February 1861 at Westminster. Patriarch of Mesopotamia, Trumbull County, Ohio, USA Burge's. Details on new page.

Marriage:
Ellen Elizabeth Burge 1864 Jan-Feb-Mar Kensington Greater London,

Ellen M. Harris 13
Mary E. Harris 10
Sarah Harris 7 Hammersmith, Middlesex
Louisa Harris 4 Hammersmith, Middlesex

The closest I can come for Walter in 1881 is Walter Harris born Bermondsey,
Middlesex 1865, a steward on board the vessel 'Paris' at Lewes Newhaven.

John was their last child, they were at the same address in 1891, with
William still a Station Master, and daughter Mary E a telegraph operator(?).

Ellen Elizabeth passed away in the Jul-Sep quarter of 1899. William was
listed as a Postmaster in 1901, with daughter Louisa as his housekeeper, and
youngest son John, a telegraphist, still living at home.
