I added a source for this formerly unsourced profile. Then, I realized that this might represent two separate men. Nicholas Burges acted as an administrator for the estate of his brother in law, Anthony Fowle, in 1567. Therefore, he could not have died in London in 1556. Also, the will of Anthony Fowle names sons William Burges and Isaac Burges for "Nycholas Burgys."

I have many questions on this profile:

First, I removed the parents. The surnames don't match, this family lived in Northumbria and the profile says he was born in Sussex. Also the sources in Edwards profile don't have any information about a son named Nicholas who spelled his name differently. Why is he a Senator? That's odd. Why two sons named William? Why were his sons born in Butlers Marston, Warwickshire if he had a manor house Brook House in Sussex where Unknown was born?
