Index of Individual Biographies

This is an index of biographies for various members of the Burbury/Burbery/Burberry family (or other variant spellings) or people who are related in some way to these families. Click on one of the links below to find out more about the person whose name is listed.

Please send me a message at if you would like to suggest a name to be included here.

In addition to the following articles which basically cover people who belong to "largish" family groupings, I have been writing up articles on smaller family groupings and individuals which cannot yet be fitted in to any of the largish families. These articles appear on the Unplaced Individuals and Family Groups page.
