Together the couple had 6 children, but only 2 lived to adulthood. George Burrill died in his 30's. His oldest son was buried a couple weeks prior to him and his infant daughter was buried a few weeks after him. When George died Alyce had 4 children living. A year later only 2 were living . I have no records to show it, but it appears as though some disease made it's way through the family. Alyce remarried a year after she buried George. Within a few weeks of marrying her third husband Robert Barnard he oldest living son Robert died. Only Jane and George lived to adulthood.
