He was the son of Peter Burrell and his wife Isabella Merrik, second daughter of John Merrik, and older brother of Sir Merrick Burrell, 1st Baronet. Burrell was sub-governor of the South Sea Company. He sat as Member of Parliament (MP) for Haslemere from 1722 to 1754 and for Dover from 1755 to his death in 1756.

On 14 March 1723, he married Amy Raymond, daughter of Hugh Raymond. They had four sons and two daughters. His oldest son Peter represented Launceston and Totnes in the British House of Commons, while his third son William was also returned for Haslemere and succeeded later his father-in-law as baronet.
