Esq. Thomas Sambrooke Higgins “Tammy” Burne
Birth 9 Sep 1822
Death 26 Jan 1861 (aged 38), Edgmond, Telford and Wrekin Unitary Authority, Shropshire, England
Burial Church of St Peter
Norbury, Stafford Borough, Staffordshire, England
Memorial ID 262212017
Known as 'Tammy', eldest son of Thomas Higgins Burne & Sophia.
Thomas [IV] Sambrooke Higgins Burne Esq. DL JP matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford in 1841 but did not take a degree. His father, Thomas [III], was a very controlling person and, despite Sambrooke's status as the eldest son, he deprived him of any chance of gainful employment and kept the management of the Loynton estate firmly in his own, capable hands. So with little to do, Sambrooke devoted a lot of his time to field sports – "hunting, shooting, fishing and drinking". On 1 May 1850 Sambrooke and his pregnant wife moved into the vicarage at Moreton-in-Gnosall, a parish on the border between Staffordshire and Shropshire, where Sambrooke's younger brother, Thomas [V], was the Perpetual Curate from 1850 to 1868, and it was here that their first child, Charlotte Sophia, was born on the following day. At least two more of their children were born in Moreton vicarage before the family moved to Summerhill, near Edgmond, just over the border in Shropshire, in 1854, where they were still living with five servants at the time of the 1861 Census. Unfortunately, in 1857 and 1858 Sambrooke had two severe falls while out hunting, and on the second occasion, while suffering from "a surfeit of stirrup cups", he "went over some rails of an immense height into the road", hit his head, and suffered brain damage, from which he never recovered and which caused his death at a comparatively young age. The accident was a taboo subject within the family and its results caused its members considerable stress, especially his wife, who, by the time of the 1871 Census, still had four daughters living with her at Summerhill.
