  		Robert Burdge - Death-1871-09-25 CAUTION: The informant for the information on the record was not a family member. In particular, his birth place was incorrect in the information that the informant provided, apparently confusing the Somerset towns of Huntspill (where he was born) and Bridgwater (where he lived in 1851) and conflating them into Bristol, where he probably never set foot. The informant was H. Rundle, wife of Oshawa carpenter J. W. Rundle, for whom Robert was probably working when he died.
  Buried	Aft 25 Sep 1871	Brooklin, Ontario, Ontario, Canada
  	probably Episcopal Methodist Cemetery in Brooklin - see grave stone image for additional information
  		Edwin and Robert Burdge - Grave Stone - now in cairn at Groveside Cemetery Whitby Archivist Brian Winter told Wesley Johnston (28 Sep 2012) that the stones in the cairn at Groveside Cemetery are NOT for people buried at Groveside. A man gathered the stones from local cemeteries. It is most likely that the stone came from the Episcopal Methodist Cemetery at the corner of Church & Albert St in Brooklin. This cemetery was founded abt 1847. In 1884, when the EM, Wesleyan Methodist and Bible Christian churches joined, the EM cemetery was abandoned. == photograph 26 Sep 2012 by Wesley Johnston
