1. Isaac Burrell
Born Approx 1790 in Northumberland, England. Died 14 May 1869 in Doddington Parish, Northumberland, England.
Died "at age 82, of Akeld, parish of Kirknewton."
Isaac's age, 45+, in the 1841 census suggests a birth year between 1791 and 1796, whereas his reported age at death suggests he was born in 1786/1787.
Only the first and last child of the family of Isaac and Jane Burrell appear in extensive lists of baptisms in Wooler, and none in Doddington parish; dates and places of births or baptism for the other siblings of Robert and Isaac have not been found. Sons Robert and Isaac immigrated to New Brunswick and settled in Harvey Settlement, York County. (Unknown if other siblings came to Canada.)
The major source of information on this family (apart from detail on Robert and Isaac from Canadian descendants) was the 1841 census of Ewart township, in Doddington parish, Wooler district, part of the Glendale Ward of Northumberland.
(Information on the first generation of Isaac and Jane Burrell's family born in England was from research done by John R. Burrell, Burritts Rapids, Ontario, and printed in book form May 2002.)

Son of Isaac Burrell & Jane. Born 30 Jan 1818 in Wooler District, Northumberland, England. Died 2 Sep 1900 in Harvey Station, NB. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery. Occupation Farmer. Religion Presbyterian.
It is believed that Robert Burrell, his wife Ann Piercy and son Isaac immigrated to New Brunswick and settled at Harvey Settlement from Wooler and Tweedbank, England in 1846.
From NB Land Grants book, Robert received "Front 16, 17 Tier 2, NW Harvey, York Co., 100 acres" on 23 Nov 1853.

From the 1861 Census, the Burrells employed 3 males. Owned or occupied 50 acres improved land and 50 acres unimproved land. Cash value of farm, 100 pounds; value of implements and machinery, 10 pounds. They had 2 horses, 4 milch cows, 7 other neat cattle, 12 sheep, 2 swine, and 400 lbs. pork slaughtered. Produced 200 lb. butter, 40 lb. wool,; 8 tons hay, 9 bu. barley, 250 bu. oats, 100 bu. buckwheat, 6 bu. timothy, 10 bu. turnips, 50 bu. potatoes and 5 bu. carrots.

7. George Burrell
Son of Isaac Burrell & Jane. Born Approx 1825 in Northumberland, England.
There were two George Burrells listed with the family in the 1841 census, one age 20+and the other age 15+. It is most unlikely that they had two sons named George alive in 1841. The name of one of the sons could have been entered in error as George; or one could have been a nephew from a related family (relationships are not entered in 1841 census).

​
Son of Robert Burrell & Ann Piercy. Born 26 Nov 1863 in Harvey. Died 22 Sep 1934 in McAdam.
Thomas Burrell and his wife Jane Moody Patterson lived on a farm on the Swan Road, Harvey, near location where Ben Swan lived. The family is said to have moved to McAdam in 1901, though a number of family events took place in Harvey through the middle of 1906. There is also some evidence that their daughter Grace became a US citizen (at age 3) in 1907, though who would have been caring for her at that time is not clear; she was listed, age 15, in the 1920 census of Portland, Maine, living at the residence of Walter Wilbert McFarland, whose wife Lettie was Grace's oldest sister.
Thomas's first wife Jane died 10 Nov 1912, seven days after the birth of their last baby. Five babies died at birth, born and died on the following dates: 10 Oct 1901, Harvey; 5 May 1906, Harvey/McAdam; 15 Sep 1910, McAdam; 10 Oct 1911, McAdam; and 3 Nov 1912, McAdam.

Same reference date and reference numbers, Thomas married Annie "Taylor". There was thus some confusion over what the maiden name of Annie actually was. Email correspondence received on January 9, 2014 from great grandaughter Heidi Russell confirmed that her maiden name was Taylor. Heidi Russell provided the following supplementary genealogical information for Annie Taylor:
"She was Annie Taylor born 1887, daughter of Robert Taylor & Elizabeth Howie.
Annie first married William Carvell with her 2nd marriage being to Thomas Burrell.

​
Son of Robert Burrell & Ann Piercy. Born 4 May 1865 in Harvey. Died 3 Jan 1914 in Vancouver, WA, USA.
William travelled west on two occasions before his marriage and later emigrated to USA. The first was with his older brother John (date uncertain, but some time after 1881, both were listed in the Manners Sutton census of that year.) "John became sick, both returned to Harvey, where John died."--information in letter from Gladys Burrell Mason to Guy Burrell in 1971. In fact, John's wife Jennie died 2 1/2 years before he died; John's death left their daughter, Anna, an orphan. William went west again, presumably in 1892 after both Anna's parents had died, taking Anna with him to be raised by his brother Robert "Sim" and Cora, who were married and living in Portland, Oregon. William "returned to Harvey to marry".
William Alexander Burrell and Grave Winnifred Embleton's six children were born in Harvey, NB. Later they emigrated to the Oregon/Washington border area of USA in November 1903. Their children and grandchildren are scattered over the Northwest, some in Utah, California, Washington and Oregon.

From undated newspaper item:
House Burned At Harvey Station
(Special to The Telegraph)
Harvey Station, Feb 6 -- The dwelling house of Arthur Burrell, situated near the station, was completely destroyed by fire on Friday forenoon. The fire started in an upstair room. The walls, being of wood, burned very quickly. Mr Burrell and several neighbors and parties working at the station were quickly at the fire and there being little wind succeeded in saving the barn which was only a few feet away, but most of the furniture and household goods were burned. The house, which had been built only a short time, was not quite finished and was not insured. Mr Burrell, who has thus been turned out into the winter with his wife and large family, is likely to get a house from Miss Glendenning.
He first married Mary Edith Elizabeth "Ada" Rosborough, daughter of John Rosborough & Mary Williams, 15 Jul 1908 in Harvey Presbyterian Church Records. Born 25 Dec 1887 in Acton. Died 12 Feb 1983 in Swan Haven Nursing Home, Harvey. Buried in Acton Cemetery. They were divorced.
