This Burbidge family gathering took place about 1934 at Salt Air.
Our BURBIDGE family immigrated from Bedfordshire, England in 1854. They were converts of the LDS Church and settled in Salt Lake City, Utah. Their descendants, for the most part, have remained in northern Utah. Business, law, law enforcement and government service have been a few of the common occupations of this family. Our 4Family Burbidge line begins with Joseph David BURBIDGE (1902-1966).
The earliest known, and proven, Burbidge of this line is James Burbidge of Bedford, Bedfordshire, England (abt 1724-1821). He married Anne Rhoades on 9 October 1808 in Bedford. Their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are just a very small part of their story, which hopefully will grow in the telling as we explore, share and celebrate this remarkable family.
