Born in Callington, Cornwall around 1835, Burgh married Elizabeth P. from Gloucester in 1857. They settled in Sheerness, where in 1859 Burgh obtained his first patent for an improvement of steam-engines.〔Patent office (1860). ''Chronological index of patents applied for and patents.'' p. 9.〕 They further lived in Waterloo Road, London in the 1870s and in Croydon, a large town in South London, in the 1880s.〔
After working in industry for some years, Burgh started a practice as consulting marine engineer in 1859. He became a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 1870, and was elected the first president of the Institution of Marine Engineers.〔Marine Engineering and Shipbuilding Abstracts, Vol 1-5. p. 75.〕 One of his apprentices was the mechanical engineer, inventor and general manager George Best Martin (1847-1901)),〔(George Best Martin ) at gracesguide.co.uk. Accessed 06.2015.〕 and another pupil was William Wallington Harris (1841-1924).〔(William Wallington Harris ) at gracesguide.co.uk. Accessed 06.2015.〕
Burgh published his first article in the London-based monthly magazine ''The Engineer'' in 1859 about his patented design for an improved steam engine.〔N.P. Burgh. "Burgh's Steam Engines: patent date 11 Januanry 1859," in: ''The Engineer,'' 1859/08/26. p. 154.〕 In the 1860s he further came into prominence, when he gave several lectures at the Royal Society of Arts in London〔Review "(On Marine Engines, from 1851 to the Present Time )," in: Andrew Betts Brown (1866), ''Engineering Facts and Figures.'' p. 218-230.〕 and started publishing several books. More of those books were revised, enlarged and republished in the next decades. He kept writing articles for ''The Engineer'' on a regular base until the mid 1870s.〔
