The marriage was 21 Jun 1808 (ref The Burman Chronicle 1940). Mary was born 1785 at Light Farm, Packwood, England, the dau of John HEATH and Elizabeth LEA. On coming of age Mary inherited considerable landed property under the wills of two bachelor uncles of her mother, John and Samuel Woolaston, of Box Trees, Hockley Heath, in the parish of Tanworth. (Ref The Burman Chronicle 1940) "John Burman [his father], of Light Hall, inherited that estate from his uncle, Richard Insull (the second), in 1783. In addition to his considerable landed estate, he was also a banker. He married Esther Field, of Jerring's Hall, and on the marriage of his eldest son, John, to Mary Heath in 1808, settled Light Hall on him, retiring to a house which he built near to Tanworth Church." (The above information was taken from "The Story of Tanworth in Arden" by John Burman, published in 1930.) This John was listed at Light Hall, Tanworth in the Poll of the Freeholders of Warwickshire in 1820 (ref Google Books online). Due to the financial difficulties of John's brother Richard from 1826 onwards, Light Hall was sold in order to rescue Richard from his difficulties. See Richard's entry for further information. The following newspaper advertisment was for the sale of considerable property in 1832 and was probably in relation to his brother Richard's bankruptcy (see also brother Isaac): "Notice is hereby Given, That, by Indentures of Lease and Release, bearing Date, respectively, the 20th and 21st Days of November 1832, JOHN BURMAN, of Light Hall, in the Parish of Tanworth, in the County of Warwick, Gentleman, hath released and conveyed all his Messuages, Lands, Tenements, and Real Estate, unto JONATHAN HEYNES, of Beoley, in the County of Worcester, Gentleman, and THOMAS HOLYOAKE, of Little Alne, in the County of Warwick, Gentleman, in Trust for Sale thereof; and by a certain other Indenture, bearing Date the said 21st Day of November, 1832, the said JOHN BURMAN hath assigned and transferred all his Personal Estate and Effects unto the said JONATHAN HEYNES and THOMAS HOLYOAKE, in Trust, to apply the Proceeds of the Real and Personal Estate of the said JOHN BURMAN for the Benefit of all or such of his Creditors who should execute or assent to the same Indentures.

And all Persons Indebted to the said Estate, are required to pay the Amount of their respective Debts to the said Trustees, or to Mr. W.W. Lea, forthwith, otherwise Proceedings will be commenced for recovery thereof. W.W. Lea, Solicitor. Henley-in-Arden, 23d Nov. 1832. " After the sale [1832 of Light Hall], John Burman and his family moved to 'The Doctor's House' in Tanworth village, which was the property of Mrs. Burman, who retained part of her land, and owned 153 acres in the parish in 1838.

The witnesses were John Shuttleworth, Mary Matilda Shuttleworth and John Shuttleworth Jnr. (ref Ancestry London Marriages) Refer the Oxford Journal, Saturday 26 Dec 1807 (ref British Newspaper Archive): "MARRIED.-...At St.Pancras church, R. Burman, Esq. of Southam, Warwickshire, to Miss A. Shuttleworth, of Guildford Street." See his younger relative William Smith Burman (generation 12) for William's Articles as Clerk to Richard Burman and Thomas Samuel Wright, Attorneys in 1819.

"Richard, a graduate of Balliol College, Oxford, [although not listed in Oxford University Alumni online] became a solicitor, practising at Southam, Warwickshire, after 1827 holding an appointment at the Exchequer Office, London, and living at Ealing. He married Ann Shuttleworth, of the Shuttleworths of Gawthorpe, and his family consisted of four sons and two daughters. " (ref The Burman Chronicle 1940) On 29 Nov 1826 Richard Burman of Southam, Warwickshire, money-scrivener, was declared bankrupt (as reported in many newspapers in the British Newspaper Archive such as Birmingham Gazette on 4 Dec 1826). An online definition of this occupation is "Money scriveners are those who are engaged in procuring money to be lent on mortgages and other securities, and lending such money accordingly. They act also as agents for the purchase and sale of real estates." In 1830 and 1835 he appeared in Perry's Bankrupt Gazette in regard to declaring dividends. After the resolution of these financial difficulties by the sale of Light Hall by his brother John (and see also brother Isaac), Richard was able to continue working as a Solicitor.

He was born c1809 at Birmingham (ref 1851 census). The Deceased Wife's Sister's Marriage Act 1907 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, allowing a man, if his wife had died, to marry her sister. Previously this was forbidden within the UK except under certain circumstances. From 1835 to 1907, such marriages had to take place abroad (ref Wikipedia, Deceased Wife's Sister's Marriage Act 1907). Perhaps a Scottish marriage qualified for this purpose, but it would seem unlikely that a third marriage to a third sister in England would pass the legal test.
