and this looks to be your John in 1841, still living with his parents! There are a lot of Burstow's in Horsham, but this is the only John I found. I did make notes of all the Burstow families I came across if you would like them?

Horsham 1841 census HO107/1097
Enum District 5
schedule 28, page 1
Carfax
John Burstow, 60, wheelwright
Mary, 54
John, 30, wheelwright
Elizabeth, 21
Frederick, 12

This looks like his parents marriage (from the Sussex Marriage Index)
Horsham, West Sussex,  Date: 24 Mar 1808:
John BURSTOW, bach
Mary GARNER, sp botp (B)
witnesses : Jane GARNER Chas BURSTOW

 hope that helps,
Chris :)

Tricia

Tricia, following up your suggestion of a possible second marriage for Mary...  a search in the IGI shows Mary Lemon Mc Murtrie, baptised in Horsham 13 March 1841, daughter of John and Mary Mc Murtrie.

I checked the SMI and found this -
Archdeaconry of Lewes Marriage Licence, 18 Mar 1834
John MCMURTRIE, bach tea dlr. E.Grinstead
Mary GROVES, sp LingfieldSRY.

A search of the Horsham records here -
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountySussex.htm#H
shows four children of this marrige, including Mary Lemon who was the last child of the four.

I also tried a search for Burstow baptisms in Horsham... wow, quite a list so worth checking them out fluffy!

Hope that helps
Chris :)
