Title: Ann Burrows, Born 1875, Gorton
Post by: andy mill on Tuesday 27 November 12 16:11 GMT (UK)
Currently trying to research Ann Burrows (sometimes known as Jane Ann Burrows)
With her having a common name its proving very difficult to research with my family knowing very little about her.

The facts I have are…

Born 1875 the 1911 census she is listed as born and still living in Gorton, Lanc.
By that time married to James John Thompson born Brecon, Wales.

Her children were….

Beatrice
Bertha (my grandmother)
Violet
Stanley
James
William

She died in 1965

Can anyone help?

The marriage was registerd in Sep 1901 ,,so Ann should be in the 1901 census as a single woman.

You need to look up the marriage,,or buy the certificate. I will be able to look up the marriage for you but not for a couple of weeks.

thanks. might be the Rusholme Burrows. Had a few results that could be her family.
If you could get info on the marriage that would help.

Thanks folks.

Had a few family members from Gorton. Thompsons, Burrows, and Millingtons.

Have got the marriage certificate but sadly the writing is so poor on her fathers name and occupation I'm still non the wiser.

Her address looks like it might be 66 St James Road

Will do.
Found that she lived 65 Bond Street, Broughton as a servant. Born in Gorton but her family were from Rusholme.

Parents were Thomas and Hannah Burrows.

Getting there!
