This page contains brief descriptions and links to articles about various BURBURY / BURBERY / BURBERRY family groupings that have turned up in the course of research. It is quite possible that these various branches share a common descent from some period which is now lost in antiquity. I am always hopeful that one day I will be able to discover the links that tie in some of these various Burbury families to each other.
The various family groupings are divided up more or less as follows:

Bourton on Dunsmore Burbery Family |
A family who lived mainly in and around Bourton on Dunsmore and Ryton on Dunsmore. It is possibly the original family from which the Coventry Burbury family and Stoneleigh Burbury family both descended. | |
| Brandon Burbery Family | This branch is descended from a William Burbery who was a yeoman living in Brandon in the parish of Wolston. He may have been an ancestor of the Wolston Burbery family. | |
| Coventry Burbury Family | This is my personal family group. It descends from a William Burbury (1746?--1822) who lived in Gosford Street, Coventry. From him was descended Thomas Burbury, my great-great-great-grandfather, who was transported to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). This family is possibly descended from the Bourton on Dunsmore Burbery family. | |
| Kenilworth Burbury Family | This family descends from a "Burbery" who was a warden of the parish of Holy Trinity in Coventry, Warwickshire in the 17th century. Later generations of this family were tenant farmers at Kenilworth and Leek Wootton in Warwickshire. There is a possible link between this family and the Northamptonshire Burbery. | |
| Stoneleigh Burbury Family | This branch is descended from William Burbury and Catherine Cox who were married in 1805 in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire. This family is possibly descended from the Bourton on Dunsmore Burbery family. | |
|
Stretton on Dunsmore Burbury Family |
This family is descended from a William BURBURY of Stretton on Dunsmore in Warwickshire. It also includes several Burbury families who later moved to Bedworth and Nuneaton, including the family of Henry Burbury who served as a soldier during the Boer War and World War I. | |
| Wolston Burbery Family | Farmers in the parishes of Wolston, Dunchurch and Monks Kirby in north-eastern Warwickshire as tenants of the Lords Denbigh. They were likely to have been closely related to the Brandon Burbery family. | |

| Surrey Burberry Family | This surname has achieved a certain amount of fame worldwide through the company of Burberrys of London and its popular lines of gabardine raincoats, accessories and fragrances. Yet the "Burberrys of London" family is only a small branch of what is quite a large family. | |
| London Bourbery Family | This branch is descended from a James Bourbery who married Susanna Pinn at St. Marylebone Church in London in 1808. Their sons travelled to the Australian colonies during the mid-1800s, and from there to New Zealand. | |
|
Northamptonshire Burbery Family |
An early family that lived in the English counties of Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire. Although the earliest member of the family appears as a "Burbery", surnames more commonly associalted with later branches of this family are BURBOROUGH and BURBEROW. There is a possible link between this family and the Kenilworth Burbury family of Warwickshire. | |
| Yorkshire Burbeary Family | The BURBEARY surname occurs mainly around Sheffield in Yorkshire. The family's origins are unknown, but it is possible that they are connected to the Warwickshire families. | |
The data in all of these databases was compiled using a family tree software program called The Master Genealogist which has been developed by Wholly Genes Software. I highly recommend this software program for anyone who is serious about documenting and computerising their research.
