Basic Biographical Details

Name: Henry Burrell
Designation:  
Born: 8 June 1812
Died: 7 May 1891
Bio Notes: Henry Burrell was born in Dunfermline in Fife on 8 June 1812, the son of Henry Burrell, a stonemason by trade who had become an inn-keeper by 1810, and his wife Isabel Bowman. It can be assumed that the younger Burrell trained as a mason with his father. We know little of his early career but in January 1842 he married Marion Marshall in Kinghorn. The marriage was also registered in Inverness, Henry's address at this time being Academy Street, Inverness where he seems to have been working as a mason.

By at least 1848 the family had moved to Auchintore, Kilmallie, Inverness-shire and Henry had taken a post as a 'road inspector' later also 'road surveyor' in Inverness-shire in which position he remained until at least 1881. He is also described as an architect during this period and ran a private practice at the same time, presumably to supplement his income from his salaried post.

The Burrells had thirteen children, seven sons and six daughters. Several of his sons followed trades related to those of his father: James and Andrew were joiners, Archibald a mason whilst William John Marshall Burrell was a Collector of Canal Dues on the Caledonian Canal. Marion Burrell died on 14 March 1881 and Henry thereafter lived with his son William. Henry died on 7 May 1891 in Kilmallie Argyll.
