Biography

Abraham Burrow is one of twins.

• Twin brother with Isaac Burrow - listed in Milverton Parish Records as having the same date of birth and christening. The christening took place on 18 July 1824. Other records show the Date of birth as 10 July 1824

• Seems to have been a rather sickly child. He never left home as a teenager to go out and work, unlike his twin brother. He was listed in the 1841 census as ALD. But the age of 17 is correct. He may have died as early as 1844. He never shows up in any further census records.

• Whether these twins were identical or fraternal is unknown. Although several other twin siblings of the same gender, born into later generations of this family seem to have all been fraternal.
