Further information from MCB (Mike) tells:-

George Burrows burial record at St James Clerkenwell gives him as aged 66, thus born around 1735.

The marriage of George Burrows to Alice Haynes at St James Clerkenwell in 1763 thus indicates he was around 32 years old at the time of the wedding .

Alice was probably the daughter of George & Ann Haynes who was christened in 1742 at St James Clerkenwell. Her death in early 1819 , aged 76, agrees well with this .
