Looking for Ancestry of Henry Burman Born 1817 Spitalfields London

After tracing my family history back to Spitalfields,London, I have hit a brick wall. The only information I have been able to discover about my ancestor, Henry BURMAN, is that he was born in 1817 in Spitalfields, and was a Silk Weaver by trade. While I know of his birth date and location, I have not been able to discover any details about his family. There were a number of BURMANS living within the Dockland Areas of Bethnal Green, Whitechapel and Spitalfields between the 18th and 20th centuries, but I still have not been able to make any firm link. Does anyone else have a Henry BURMAN born in Spitalfields around 1817 or 1821 in their ancestral tree?

Hi there - probably no connection but I am looking for details on an Abraham Burman that lived in whitechapel as per 1841 census. He was a tailor by trade and ended up in Ipswich Suffolk

I haven't come across any Abraham Burmans in my research, so not sure if part of the family I'm looking for. Good luck with your search.
