Research Notes

Richard Burnham also claimed to marry Fanny Langley (but b. West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England, parents Richard and Sarah. Need further research to see which one married Fanny.

As Burnham-4618 and Burnham-2319 are both connected as husbands to Fanny Langley but appear to have different parents and also birth places - one of them could have married Fanny.

I would suggest (without other compelling evidence) that in Richard Burnham b. 6 Feb 1774 in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England rather than Richard Burnham b. before 1763 in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England is the correct spouse because - Richard Burnham married Frances (Fanny) Langley 6 April 1793 at St Peter's Church, Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England and their children were also born in Burnham, Buckinghamshire - not in West Wycombe. Though note [16]
